  • Publication number: 20250260854
    Abstract: A method is described for obtaining and using viewership data to determine relationships between previous viewership of an episodic program and viewership of future episodes of the program. Aggregating the data may comprise determining missing data points and predicting substitute data points based on past viewership data for the individual viewer and a plurality of other viewers. Data may be presented to the user in a number of ways to aid in analysis and planning of likely viewership for a season of a television program. Data may be used to optimize advertising revenues, plan television lineups to maximize a number of likely viewers, or allocate content and resources between broadcast and video-on-demand.

  • Publication number: 20210076755
    Abstract: A pressure-adjustable brassiere pad includes a main body and a gas collection actuator. The main body includes an outer surface layer, an inner surface layer, and a gas bag layer enclosed between the outer surface layer and the inner surface layer. The gas passage of the gas bag layer has a connection end extended out from the main body. The gas collection actuator is connected to the connection end and includes a gas transmitter, a control module, and a gas pressure detector. The gas transmitter supplies gas to the gas bag layer so as to adjust the internal pressure of the gas bag layer. The gas pressure detector detects the internal gas pressure to monitor the internal pressure and notify the control module to control the operation of the gas transmitter.

  • Patent number: 10297337
    Abstract: Apparatuses and techniques for counting 0 or 1 bits in a set of bits using both serial and parallel processes. The counting process includes a hierarchy in which the count from different parallel processes at one level in the hierarchy are passed to a smaller number of different parallel processes at a lower level in the hierarchy. A final count is obtained by an accumulator below the lowest level of the hierarchy. The position and configuration of the circuits can be set to equalize a number of circuits which process the different bits, so that a maximum delay relative to the accumulator is equalized.
