  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING INFLUENCE OF CHANNELS IN A SOCIAL NETWORK
    Publication number: 20230206351
    Abstract: A social media service and platform generates an improved measure of influence based on measures of purchases of fans made in response to content appearing on an influencer’s channel. The improved influence score addresses the problem that conventional influence scores are often unreliable due to the use of bots and other techniques to artificially increase the number of fans and likes of an influencer’s channel. Additional measures to ensure integrity of channels and support privacy and security may also be supported by the social network service.

  • Holographic recording and micro/nanofabrication via ultrafast holographic two-photon induced photopolymerization (H-TPIP)
    Patent number: 6624915
    Abstract: A process and photoactive media for holographic recording and micro/nanofabrication of optical and bio-optical structures via the simultaneous absorption of two-photons by the photoactive media to induce a simultaneous photochemical change in regions of constructive interference within a holographic pattern is disclosed. The photochemical process of polymerization resulting from the simultaneous absorption of two-photons may be used for the microfabrication of micro and nanoscaled features, holographic data storage, and the formation of switchable diffraction gratings.
