Abstract: Various exemplary embodiments include a valuation system to measure sponsorship exposure in social media, including the ability to use multiple valuation methods, such as CPV, CPM, and CPE, integrated into the valuation system, in a real-time manner, while aggregating the most up-to-date data. It may categorize the social media by media type, image, video or text, and may run different valuation strategies based on the media type. It may adapt a valuation strategy based on the source platform of the publication, detect the sponsorship exposures and inputs into the valuation method, as one or more factors to the valuations system, in the real-time matter. Additionally, granular valuation may be supported, given the output from the AI-driven system, on brand, asset, scene, and media exposure types. It also supports valuation on a real-time ad rate, a device factor, customization based on user configurations, e.g., discounted factor, and/or supports live stream.

Abstract: Physical-layer authentication based on the channel response over a wireless medium are described. In a first authentication scheme, a count is kept of how many significant multipath taps remain empty or occupied from one channel estimate to the next for authentication purposes. In a second authentication scheme, which does not require an alternative means of initial authentication, the presence of a multipath component based on a reported position of a transmitter and the side knowledge of planar reflectors in the environment may be leveraged for authentication purposes.

Abstract: A cuff link that doubles as a multipurpose tool is provided, wherein the multipurpose tool provides both screwdriver and bottle opener functionality. The cuff link tool has a head plat perpendicularly joined to two spaced apart bracket members. Between the two spaced apart bracket members a link post is pivotally connected about an axle that extends between the distal ends of the two spaced apart bracket members. So not only can the link post operate as such, because terminates in a screwdriver interface, can be used as a screwdriver when a user rotates the head plat. An off-center notch is provided in the head plat, so that it too may be discretely used as a bottle opener.

Abstract: A ferrule includes a body extending in a longitudinal direction between a front end and a back end of the ferrule. The front end defines a first end face and a pedestal extending from the first end face in the longitudinal direction. The ferrule also includes first and second groups of micro-holes extending into the body from the first end face. Each micro-hole is configured to receive an optical fiber. The pedestal is positioned between the first and second groups of micro-holes. Optical connectors including the ferrule are also disclosed, as are cable assemblies and related methods.

Abstract: A digital exciter is presented herein for use in RF broadcasting and wherein the exciter employs pilot signal compensation. This includes an input digital circuit for receiving a modulated digital data at an input sample rate for RF broadcasting at a desired RF frequency. The pilot frequency may be displaced from a desired location at the frequency band because of an error in the input sample rate. A digital compensator determines whether the pilot frequency is displaced and provides a digital correction signal in accordance therewith. A digital correction circuit corrects the pilot frequency in accordance with the correction signal.
