  • Patent number: 11336742
    Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer readable media may be configured for improved predictive content caching. A system may determine a value that is a function of one or more rates at which a portion of a content item is being consumed and based on this value, may also calculate a projected position after a predetermined time period. By comparing the projected position to a dynamically adjustable threshold position for requesting a new portion of the content item, a determination may be made as to when to retrieve and/or cache a new portion of the content item.

  • Patent number: 10587545
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of improving a user's well-being in an interactive system, by: querying the user to determine a user identifier profile and the user's relative levels of a number of state-related traits, and identifying traits for which said relative levels deviate significantly from optimal; wherein the improvement includes: selecting, by a server, from a group of tested motivational messages which have been effective for other users to reduce the deviation in the levels of said traits, one or more selected motivational messages; where the amount of said deviation reduction is the average of all users reduction in deviation following receipt of said selected motivational messages; and sending the selected motivational messages to the device controlled by the user; and querying the user, by sending a questionnaire from the server to said device, to determine if said deviation is reduced.

  • Publication number: 20050075797
    Abstract: A process for quantitative and qualitative analysis for identifying compounds in a sample mixture involves the identification of a set of reference spectra selected according to a measured condition of the sample, which collectively define a composite spectrum which best matches a spectrum produced from the sample. The compounds associated with respective reference spectra of the identified set are the compounds that are determined to be likely to be present in the sample. Quantities of the compounds may be determined from the intensities of certain representative peaks associated with the compounds, relative to the intensity of a peak associated with a reference compound which is unaffected by the measured condition of the sample. A measured condition may be pH of the sample, for example, and an accurate measurement of pH can be obtained from the test spectrum. Thus, given a test spectrum of a sample and given a set of reference spectra, the process can identify and quantify compounds present in the sample.

  • Publication number: 20050075796
    Abstract: A computer implemented process for producing a representation of a reference spectrum for a reference solution having a first pH condition, for use in determining the composition of a test sample, is disclosed. The process involves producing a position value for at least one peak of the reference spectrum in response to a measured pH condition of the test sample, and a property of at least one peak in a base reference spectrum for the reference solution, the base reference spectrum being associated with a pH condition of the reference solution that is different from said measured pH condition.
