Abstract: A system and method for hyper-locally targeting media content comprises a portable media device, a memory unit, and a processor. The memory unit stores a database comprising records associated with the media content item, and a set of program modules. The processor executes the set of program modules. An input module receives from at least one user terminal at least one image and a location reference. Further, the input module receives from at least one server a traffic density data, and a second demographic data set. A viewer count estimation module analyzes the at least one image and estimates a second viewer count based on analysis. An output module renders the media content item via a portable media device, based on the first viewer count being lesser than the second viewer count, and the first demographic data set being identical to the second demographic data set.

Abstract: A method of assembling a gas turbine engine includes coupling an annular exhaust duct to the gas turbine engine, coupling a plurality of chevrons to the annular exhaust duct, and coupling a chevron actuation system to the annular exhaust duct such that selective operation of the chevron actuation system repositions the plurality of chevrons to adjust an amount convergence of the annular exhaust duct.

Abstract: A method for forming a dispersion-strengthened material containing nanoparticles that are uniformly dispersed in a matrix phase. The method includes adding nanoparticles and a molten material to a container to form a pool within the container and rotating the container to create a convection vortex in the pool. The convection vortex is sufficient to cause the nanoparticles to be incorporated into the molten material so as to yield a molten composite material, and further causes the molten composite material to be ejected from the container. The molten composite material is then cooled to form a solid composite body comprising a uniform dispersion of the nanoparticles.
