Abstract: In response to detecting a purchase of a first product by a user, a computer system determines a category of the first product. In response to determining the category of the first product, the computer system determines a blackout time period for the user based on a maximum revenue impact amount corresponding to the blackout time period, a probability that the first product will be repurchased, and a probability that the first product is purchased after an impression is viewed, and wherein the blackout time period corresponds to a time period where one or more impressions of at least the first product purchased by the user are not transmitted for display to the user. In response to determining the blackout time period for the user, the computer system causes the blackout time period to be applied to the user.

Abstract: A method and system for calculating an estimated future indoor air temperature for a building receives information about the building, information about environmental conditions, and thermostat set point information, determines, using a processor, thermodynamic properties of the building based on the received information about the building, and calculates the estimated future indoor air temperature using the determined thermodynamic properties of the building, the received information about environmental conditions, and the received thermostat set point information.
