Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure relate to an optical fiber tape. The optical fiber tape includes a plurality of optical elements positioned adjacently between a first outer optical element and a second outer optical element. The plurality of optical elements has an ordered arrangement between the first outer optical element and the second outer optical element. At least one weft is woven through the plurality of optical elements between the first outer optical element and the second outer optical element along a length of the optical fiber tape. The at least one weft is woven in a chain stitch or overlock stitch along the length of the optical fiber tape. The optical fiber tape is configured to transition between a planar configuration and a non-planar configuration while maintaining the ordered arrangement of the plurality of optical elements.

Abstract: An optical ribbon is provided. The optical ribbon includes a plurality of optical transmission elements. The ribbon includes a ribbon body coupled to and supporting the plurality of optical transmission elements. The ribbon body is formed from a flexible polymeric material such that the plurality of optical transmission elements are reversibly movable between an aligned position in which the plurality of optical transmission elements are substantially parallel with each other and a curved position.

Abstract: Conversations in an online content universe are monitored. A conversation index is generated in social media. An individual conversation is defined by user-selectable input terms. Publishers that influence a conversation are identified. The system generates an influence ranking of site's that influence a particular conversation. The system permits ads to be placed on sites based on the sites influence on the conversation. The system can be updated to permit ads to be targeted based on current influence rankings. The influence ranking is used to perform online advertising targeting and placement. Additional marketing filters, such as demographics, historical performance, and return on investment, may be used to adjust an initial influence ranking based. The ad placement may also be expanded to include related conversations, inlinking sites, and/or outlinking sites.

Abstract: A method and system for dynamic file allocation is disclosed. In the system, an input device receives a data object which is sent to an allocation device. The allocation device is comprised of a publishing point which contains a virtual mapping system that directs the data object to an entry in the storage object.
