  • Publication number: 20250086667
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus to monitor media content at a content display site are described. An example apparatus includes processor circuitry to execute computer readable instructions to: estimate a first audience size associated with unmeasured locations based on distributed census-based page views and a measured panel data; generate a virtual panel based on the first audience size to enable more accurate estimation of traffic from the unmeasured locations by weighting second panelists associated with the unmeasured locations and reweighting a subset of the second panelists; and determine additional activity not represented by the measure panel data; and calculate an online audience based on a measured location audience, the virtual panel, and the additional activity.

  • Patent number: 12201076
    Abstract: A method for obtaining regenerated seedlings of Brassica campestris L. ssp. chinensis from embryonic tip tissues, including the following steps. A seed is inoculated to a germination medium for dark culture for 60 h. The testa, root tip, two cotyledons and middle growing point of the resultant germinated seed are removed, and an embryonic tip with a length of 3-5 mm is retained as an explant. The explant is sequentially subjected to low-temperature pre-culture in a pre-culture medium for 36 h, room-temperature shaking culture in a liquid bud induction culture medium for 10 min, and bud induction culture in a bud induction culture medium for 20 d. A regenerated plant with 5-6 leaves is transferred to a rooting medium for rooting culture for about 2 weeks, and a well-rooted plant is collected, and subjected to hardening and transplantation into a filed.

  • Patent number: 11562385
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus to monitor media content at a content display site are described. An example method includes assigning a first set of weights to each of a plurality of panelists based on a set of collected characteristics for each person of a subset of unmeasured persons at unmeasured locations, the subset of unmeasured persons being the unmeasured person for which the collected characteristics are know selecting a subset of the panelists based on the first set of weights, each panelist of the subset of panelists selected to be representative of an unmeasured person of the unmeasured persons, re-weighting the subset of the panelists based on estimated characteristics of the unmeasured persons at the unmeasured locations to generate a second set of weights, generating a virtual panel.

  • Patent number: 11050700
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for analyzing communication messages (e.g., emails) and selecting corresponding actions are described. In some database systems, a user may receive multiple messages at a user device. To efficiently determine responses to these messages, the user device may send the messages to a backend server for analysis. The server may perform natural language processing (NLP) to classify the message with one or more binary classifications and may extract metadata from each message. Based on the classifications and the metadata, the server may determine one or more actions the user device may perform to respond to each message. The server may send instructions to the user device indicating the suggested actions, and the user device may display these actions as options to a user. Additionally, the user device may use the classifications and metadata to automatically generate one or more communication templates in response to the message.
