Abstract: Example methods and apparatus to de-duplicate impression information are disclosed. An example method includes extracting, by executing a first instruction with a processor, characters from first cookies stored in a first memory space, the first cookies collected from client devices via network communications, and in response to the processor determining that at least two of the first cookies (1) include a same pattern of characters, and (2) correspond to a same first demographic, executing a second instruction with the processor to store, in a second memory space, the pattern of characters in association with the first demographic to indicate that the pattern of characters and the first demographic are both representative of a same first unique audience member.

Abstract: A method, system, and program product for remotely attesting to a state of computing system is provided. Specifically, the present invention allows a remote system to establish trust in the properties of the computer system. The properties to be trusted are expanded from the usual system software layers and related configuration files to novel types of data such as static data specific to the computer system, dynamic data determined at system startup, or dynamic data created as the computer system runs applications.

Abstract: A processor employs a hardware encryption module in the processor's memory access path to cryptographically isolate secure information. In some embodiments, the encryption module is located at a memory controller (e.g. northbridge) of the processor, and each memory access provided to the memory controller indicates whether the access is a secure memory access, indicating the data associated with the memory access is designated for cryptographic protection, or a non-secure memory access. For secure memory accesses, the encryption module performs encryption (for write accesses) or decryption (for read accesses) of the data associated with the memory access.

Abstract: A container corresponding to executable code may be received. The container may be executed in a secure computation environment by performing one or more operations specified by the executable code of the container. An instruction to terminate the executing of the container may be received from a high level operating system (HLOS) that is external to the secure computation environment. A determination may be made as to whether the container is associated with a preemption privilege and the executing of the container may be terminated after receiving the instruction from the HLOS based on the determination of whether the container is associated with the preemption privilege.

Abstract: This invention relates to pharmaceutical composition and methods of using vitamin A and/or RAR? agonist for the treatment or prevention of diseases or conditions associated with high fat diet and/or vitamin deficiency.

Abstract: This invention relates to pharmaceutical composition and methods of using vitamin A and/or RARB agonist for the treatment or prevention of diseases or conditions associated with high fat diet and/or vitamin deficiency. After smoking, high fat diet is said to be the second most lethal habit, causing 300,000 deaths each year in the U.S. alone. High fat diet leads to many health problems, including obesity, stroke, cancer, high blood pressure, diabetes, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, heart disease, and diseases in other organs such as liver and kidney.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture to correct for bias in ratings data are disclosed. Example methods disclosed herein include accessing information specifying a set of population strata having corresponding strata demographic statistics capable of being combined to determine a first set of baseline demographic statistics for a sample population that corresponds to a second set of baseline demographic statistics for a target population. Disclosed example methods also include determining a set of weights corresponding respectively to the set of population strata that reduces bias between the second set of baseline demographic statistics for the target population and the first set of baseline demographic statistics for the sample population when the set of weights is applied to the strata demographic statistics to determine the first set of baseline demographic statistics for the sample population.

Abstract: Example methods disclosed herein to determine ratings data for media exposure include accessing sets of classification probabilities for respective individuals in a sample population exposed to media. In some examples, a first one of the sets of classification probabilities represents likelihoods that a first one of the individuals belongs to respective ones of a set of possible demographic classification. Disclosed example methods also include estimating, based on the sets of classification probabilities, parameters characterizing population attributes associated with the set of possible demographic classifications. Disclosed example methods further include determining the ratings data based on the estimated parameters.

Abstract: Example audience measurement methods disclosed herein include accessing demographic information and identification information for subscribers of a service provider based on first data received from an audience measurement entity. Such disclosed example methods also include accessing network log data stored by the service provider for the subscribers using the identification information. Such disclosed example methods further include determining audience measurement data for the subscribers based on the network log data, the demographic information and the identification information, and removing the identification information from the audience measurement data to determine anonymous audience measurement data to send to the audience measurement entity.

Abstract: Example methods and apparatus to de-duplicate impression information. An example method includes accessing a first set of cookies and a set of user identifiers, the cookies and user identifiers corresponding to devices accessing media via the Internet, identifying a pattern in the first set of cookies, obtaining impression information from a database proprietor, the impression information comprising a second set of cookies, identifying a subset of the second set of cookies that are associated with a same person based on the pattern, and associating impressions corresponding to the identified subset with the same person.

Abstract: Boot configuration information is stored to a volatile memory of a processing system during a low-power state. When resuming from the low-power state, a processor device accesses configuration information for a memory controller from a non-volatile memory and restores the memory controller using the configuration information so as to permit access to the volatile memory. The processor device then configures the initial contexts one or more processor cores using the core state information maintained by the volatile memory during the low-power state and accessed via the configured memory controller, and the one or more processor cores completes the boot process by executing resume boot code maintained by the volatile memory during the low-power state and accessed via the configured memory controller, rather than accessing boot code from a non-volatile memory.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus to generating electronic mobile measurement census data are disclosed. Example disclosed methods involve, when a panelist associated with a client device is determined to be an audience member of the media on the client device, associating demographic information of the panelist with a logged impression associated with the media. The disclosed methods also include when the panelist associated with the client device is determined not to be the audience member of the media at the client device, determining probability scores for respective household members residing in a household with the panelist, the probability scores indicative of probabilities that corresponding ones of the household members are the audience member of the media at the client device, and associating demographic information of one of the household members that has a highest probability score with the logged impression associated with the media.
