20150053430 | TEMPERATURE-CONTROL SYSTEM AND METHOD - A temperature-control and fire-suppression system is provided for a system space, which optionally houses IT equipment. The system space has a ventilation system for providing controlled temperature air, for example to the IT equipment. A store of a fire-suppressing gas in liquid form is coupled to a supply means for supplying the fire-suppressing gas in liquid form to the system space, such that evaporation of the fire-suppressing gas in liquid form cools, or absorbs energy, from, the air in the system space. A temperature sensor is provided for sensing a temperature in the system space and a controller is responsive to the sensed temperature for controlling the supply means, to supply the fire-suppressing gas in liquid form while maintaining the sensed temperature above a predetermined lower temperature. | 02-26-2015 |

20090000698 | Suspendable tree cutter having an adjustable orientation pivot - Disclosed is a method and apparatus for cutting a tree using a helicopter and a tree cutter suspended from the helicopter. The tree cutter includes a frame which is selectively orientable about a horizontal axis of rotation by an elongate member extending perpendicular to the horizontal axis. A support line from the helicopter is mounted to the elongate member. The support line may be slid to a plurality of locations along the elongate member. Each of the plurality of locations corresponds to a unique orientation of the frame. A pair of gripping arms extend from the frame. A saw is pivotally mounted to the frame so as to cut a tree secured in the gripping arms. The method includes selectively orienting and suspending the cutting apparatus proximate to a tree to be cut, gripping the tree with the gripping arms and cutting the tree with the saw. | 01-01-2009 |

20130132212 | REAL-TIME DYNAMIC PAGE AWARENESS FOR AD SERVING - An ad serving platform utilizes real time dynamic page awareness for ad serving. For every new digital content URL, the ad serving platform reviews the layout and relative position of ad placements in a content environment and stores a “map” of this information, which is accessible to the ad server in real time for use in ad selection, and is refreshed periodically (e.g., every three minutes) to account for changes. As a result, without control of the page, the ad server platform can make complex serving decisions based upon relative page position of advertising placements. | 05-23-2013 |
20130138509 | DYNAMIC GEO DATABASE SOURCE SELECTION - Ad serving systems and methods integrate with a plurality, preferably all, geolocation providers/databases and enable an ad selection server to dynamically choose the right IP-to Geo provider for each ad being considered for selection. It also allows ad campaign managers to set up the ads with desired IP-to-Geo providers so that they are consistent with third party rich media creative delivery services. | 05-30-2013 |
20130144712 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR GROUP DELIVERY, GROUP COUNTING AND GROUP PACING OF AD DELIVERY ON THE WORLD WIDE WEB - Through the utilization of group delivery, group counting and group pacing, an ad serving platform treats a grouping of ads as a standard unit despite the multiple ad unit components. The ad server platform paces and manages the flight of that grouped set of ads as a single entity. The ad server platform guarantees quality of delivery by only counting a qualified impression event when the group delivery has been successful, thereby opening this type of highly impactful advertising experience up to non-standard inventory sources, rather than relying on highly controlled content environments. | 06-06-2013 |
20130282483 | MULTI-DIMENSIONAL METHOD FOR OPTIMIZED DELIVERY OF TARGETED ON-LINE BRAND ADVERTISEMENTS - A method of delivering targeted on-line advertising to an end user of a computer network system comprises creating an advertisement campaign having a plurality of dimensions associated therewith, obtaining end user data based upon engagement of the end user with the network system, profiling advertisement content available on the network system to identify specific items of advertisement content that are compatible with the advertising campaign, for each item of compatible advertisement content, utilizing the end user data and metrics associated with the plurality of dimensions associated with the advertisement campaign to develop an effectiveness measurement, and utilizing the effectiveness measurements to select at least one item of compatible advertisement content for display to the end user. | 10-24-2013 |

20100062287 | METHOD OF POLISHING AMORPHOUS/CRYSTALLINE GLASS TO ACHIEVE A LOW RQ & WQ - A method of polishing to reduce surface roughness of at least one surface of a glass ceramic substrate that includes an amorphous glass portion and a crystalline portion. The method comprises at least one step of polishing the surface using a polishing pad and an abrasive polishing slurry. The polishing slurry comprises a first concentration of Ceria particulates and a second concentration of Silica particulates. The amorphous glass portion and the crystalline portion of the at least one surface are polished substantially equally. | 03-11-2010 |
20120045969 | POLISHING AMORPHOUS/CRYSTALLINE GLASS - An apparatus and associated method for polishing a workpiece with a polishing slurry having ceria particulates and silica particulates. | 02-23-2012 |

20090067668 | VIDEO PROCESSING SYSTEM AND METHOD - A method of calculating a transform matrix for transforming points in a model of an object to an image of the object captured by a camera. The camera produces a two dimensional view of the object, the object having a plane, which includes a plurality of lines defining features on the plane of the object. The method comprises identifying a plurality of triplets of points on the lines of the object in the image from the camera, each of the triplets of points providing three or more non co-linear points on the lines of the object. The method includes identifying a sample triplet of points in the model, for each of the identified plurality of triplets of points, calculating a transform matrix which will transform the sample triplet from the model onto the identified triplet of points from the camera image, for each of the identified transform matrices, calculating a transform matrix for transforming a plurality of points on the lines of the object from the model to the image, calculating a comparison metric between the points transformed from the lines of the plane of the object in the model and corresponding points in the image view of the object, and identifying the transform matrix which produces the best comparison metric. The identified transform matrix can therefore be used to transform points on the model into the image produced by the camera, or points in the image onto the model. | 03-12-2009 |
20100246887 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR OBJECT TRACKING - There is described an apparatus and method for tracking objects in video.
