Publication number: 20240119395Abstract: Lead to recognition time delay data, leads and sales data, and lead distance data for leads arriving at a system within a time range can be used to determine a time variable close rate and a distance adjustment thereof which, in turn, can be used to generate a predicted close rate for each lead. Using the predicted close rate for each lead, an address drive distance for each lead, and dealer-level discount information, a logistic regression model can be trained to generate a score for each combination of a dealer, make, and zip code. Each score indicates a probability of closing a sale between a lead in the zip code and the dealer in the combination. Scores thus generated can be used by a computing facility in recommending dealers to a consumer in the zip code who has expressed an interest in purchasing a vehicle of the same make.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 13, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: Sharat Nair, Jake Swartz, Victor Dave Choi, Zheng Li

Deflection routing address method for all-optical packet-switched networks with arbitrary topologies
Patent number: 7433597Abstract: A method of deflection routing a packet in an all-optical communication network is described. Routing and destination information is contained in the address header of the packet and is generated by the originating node while still in the electrical domain before conversion to the optical domain. Receiving nodes process the address header in the optical domain using the information for their node from the address header. The address header is comprised of N node fields where N is the number of nodes on the optical network. Each node field contains routing information for a node on the optical network. Each node field contains at least one port field containing routing and address information associated with a port in the node.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2003Date of Patent: October 7, 2008Assignees: The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Versitech LimitedInventors: Ping-Kong Alex Wai, On-Kwok Victor Li, Chun-Yin Li, Xiaochun Yuan -
Publication number: 20070055919Abstract: A method, an embedded state metric storage, is used for MAP (Maximum A Posterior)-based decoder of turbo codes to reduce the memory requirement of state metric storage. For MAP decoder, this method comprises selecting any state metric from the updated state metrics for each recursion direction, forward and reverse, and dividing the state metrics by the selected state metric; the selected state metric value becomes a constant, namely, one. The constant one state metric is embedded into the resulted state metrics. For log-MAP decoder, this method comprises selecting any state metric from the updated state metrics in each direction, forward and reverse, and subtracting the state metrics from the selected state metric; the selected state metric value becomes a constant, zero. The constant zero state metric is embedded into the resulted state metrics.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 7, 2005Publication date: March 8, 2007Inventors: Victor Li, Jianhao Hu, Alfred Wong
