Abstract: For each device represented in a device graph of different sets of related devices, user profile and advertisement activity data are periodically obtained and associated with such device. For each set of related devices, an aggregated user profile graph is formed either by copying each related device's user profile data to the user profile data of the other related devices based on the device graph or each related device's user profile data is referenced with the user profile data of each other related device based on the device graph while maintaining such each related device to be separately associated with its user profile data. Different unique aggregated profiled identifiers are associated with different sets of related devices, and the aggregated profile device graph is provided in a database that is accessible by a processor that is programmed to perform targeted advertising or marketing engagement over a computer network.

Abstract: At a marketing platform, an aggregated profile device graph is provided that associates different unique aggregated profile identifiers with different sets of related devices and their associated user identifiers. At least a portion of the aggregated profile device graph also associates user profile data and activity data with each device's user identifier and corresponding aggregated profile identifier. In response to the marketing platform obtaining a report request for a performance metric for a particular user segment, the performance metric is determined from activity data of specific ones of the aggregated user identifiers and their associated sets of related devices. Each of these specific aggregated user identifiers and their associated sets of related devices are associated with user profile data that includes the particular user segment. A report on the performance metric for the particular audience segment is then provided, for example, to the report requester.

Abstract: A zero-field paramagnetic resonance magnetometer (ZF-PRM) system and method for quickly and efficiently finding and optimizing the zero-field (ZF) resonance is described. In this system and method a magnetic coil is used to apply a magnetic bias field in the direction of the pump beam to artificially broaden the width and maximize the strength of the ZF resonance. By making the ZF resonance easy to detect, the ZF resonance may be found quickly found without the use of additional components and complex algorithms. Once the ZF resonance is found, a compensating magnetic field can be applied to null the magnetic field in the vicinity of the vapor cell in the ZF-PRM, thereby initializing it for operation.

Abstract: A system for creating and using a universal tag to gather consumer data from a website for the purposes of targeted advertising is provided. The universal tag system has two main subsystems. The first subsystem is a configuration system that is used to define the consumer data to be collected from the website and to define taxonomy and transformation rules to be applied to the collected consumer data. The second subsystem is a runtime system that runs a universal tag client-side script, which is triggered when a consumer lands on a webpage of the website, for collecting the defined consumer data. The runtime system then applies the transformation rules to the collected data and updates a user profile corresponding to the consumer with the transformed data. As well, the runtime system applies the taxonomy rules to the collected data and categorizes the consumer for the purposes of subsequent targeted advertising.
