20150100376 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR USING NEUROSCIENCE TO PREDICT CONSUMER PREFERENCE - A system and method provides techniques and analysis tools for measuring how individuals perceive and respond to valences and more subtle “micro-valences” present in stimuli. The invention includes a process that uses human neuroimaging and behavioral techniques to measure valence in order to predict how individuals will perceive and react to any stimulus designed to engage individuals, e.g., end users or consumers, including, but not limited to, products, brands, logos, packaging, banner ads, and advertisements and their subcomponents or features, such as shape, color, pattern, and material properties. | 04-09-2015 |
20150302428 | AUTOMATED THUMBNAIL SELECTION FOR ONLINE VIDEO - Access is provided to optimal thumbnails that are extracted from a stream of video. Using a processing device configured with a model that incorporates preferences generated by the brain and behavior from the perception of visual images, the optimal thumbnail(s) for a given video is/are selected, stored and/or displayed. | 10-22-2015 |

20150361356 | REFINING USED MOTOR OIL THROUGH SUCCESSIVE HYDROTREATING PROCESSES - A method for refining used motor oil using two or more hydrotreating reactors arranged in series. The used motor oil may be vacuum distilled to produce an unrefined gasoil. The unrefined gasoil may then be hydrotreated in a first hydrotreating reactor with hydrogen operated at a temperature ranging from approximately 245° C. to approximately 260° C. to produce a hydrotreated gasoil. The hydrogen may comprise a mixture of fresh hydrogen and recycled hydrogen recovered from the last of the two or more hydrotreating reactors. The hydrotreated gasoil may then be hydrotreated in one or more additional hydrotreating reactors operated at temperatures ranging from approximately 260° C. to approximately 330° C. to produce a refined gasoil. The first hydrotreating reactor may remove a substantial portion of metallic impurities from the unrefined impurities, while the one or more additional hydrotreating reactors remove a substantial portion of heteroatom impurities from the unrefined gasoil. | 12-17-2015 |
