Abstract: Among other things, advertisements are received for brands or products of brands. Criteria for placement of the advertisements are received at online retail sites. The online retail sites are controlled independently from one another. Inventory data for the products at the online retail sites is received and stored. Data about propensities of the consumers to favor one or more of the brands or one or more products of the brands, from activities of consumers on the online retail sites, is stored. Activity data about current activities of the consumers on the online retail sites is received. One or more of the advertisements are placed on pages served to the online retail sites based on the placement data, the inventory data, the propensity data, and the activity data. Conversion data is received indicating that consumers engaged in conversion events with respect to products associated with the brands or products of brands being advertised.

Abstract: The present disclosure is generally directed a data processing system for authenticating packetized audio signals in a voice activated computer network environment. The data processing system can improve the efficiency and effectiveness of auditory data packet transmission over one or more computer networks by, for example, disabling malicious transmissions prior to their transmission across the network. The present solution can also improve computational efficiency by disabling remote computer processes possibly affected by or caused by the malicious audio signal transmissions. By disabling the transmission of malicious audio signals, the system can reduce bandwidth utilization by not transmitting the data packets carrying the malicious audio signal across the networks.

Abstract: Systems and methods permit generation of a digital scan of a user's face such as for obtaining of a patient respiratory mask, or component(s) thereof, based on the digital scan. The method may include: receiving video data comprising a plurality of video frames of the user's face taken from a plurality of angles relative to the user's face, generating a three-dimensional representation of a surface of the user's face based on the plurality of video frames, receiving scale estimation data associated with the received video data, the scale estimation data indicative of a relative size of the user's face, and scaling the digital three-dimensional representation of the user's face based on the scale estimation data. In some aspects, the scale estimation data may be derived from motion information collected by the same device that collects the scan of the user's face.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an electrical machine (1) having a housing (2), wherein the housing (2) has a hollow-cylindrical cooling jacket (2a) for accommodating a stator (3) and, attached to the end sides of the cooling jacket (2a), housing closures (2b), in particular mounting plates, and wherein the cooling jacket (2a) has cooling ducts (4a) running between its end sides (17) and the housing closures (2b) have redirection grooves (4b) so that two adjacent cooling ducts (4a) are fluidically connected by a redirecting groove (4b), whereby the cooling ducts (4a) and the redirecting grooves (4b) form a meandering cooling path (10) which extends through the housing (2) between an inlet (5) and an outlet (6) and through which a coolant can flow, wherein the housing (2) has a bypass duct (7) which fluidically connects the inlet (5) and the outlet (6) while bypassing the meandering cooling path (10), or which fluidically connects two part regions of the meandering cooling path (10) while bypassing one part o

Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods, apparatus, and computer program code for object manufacturing (e.g. 3D printing), to align an object scan obtained from a manufactured object manufactured according to an object data file with an object representation obtained from the object data file.
