Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for estimating impressions for a digital out of home (DOOH) advertising spaces (e.g., digital billboards and screens). A DOOH advertising system may determine the location of relevant DOOH advertising spaces and the location of certain consumers with known attributes and a known location. Based on this information the DOOH advertising system may estimate a number of impressions for a given DOOH advertising space and a given consumer segment associated with attributes of consumers within a certain distance from the DOOH advertising space. Using this information, the DOOH advertising spaces having the highest estimated impressions for a given consumer segment may be identified.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to an adjustable-incline climbing wall. The climbing wall comprises one or more climbing panels supported by a frame and a system for adjusting the incline of the frame to provide a climbing wall of a desired incline. The incline of the climbing wall may be adjusted by activating an actuator, which extends the upper portion of the frame a distance from a support wall, tilting the climbing wall to a desired incline. When the climbing wall is substantially vertically oriented, the system for adjusting the incline of the climbing wall may extend only a small distance from the support wall so that the adjustable-incline climbing wall has a relatively small footprint. In some embodiments, the climbing wall may also comprise one or more fitness accessories that can brought to an optimal height for a particular user through adjustment of the climbing wall incline.
