20120070228 | PAVEMENT REHABILITATION USING COLD IN-PLACE ASPHALT PAVEMENT RECYCLING - A method of cold in-place recycling of asphalt to remediate distressed roads. Asphalt particles obtained by milling the existing asphalt are limited by screening to a maximum size of about one inch length. Asphalt particle size may be established by limiting tooth spacing of the road milling equipment milling head to about 5/16 inch or 8 millimeter spacing intervals. A predetermined proportion of portland cement, water, and asphalt emulsion are added to generate asphalt particles. Portland cement may be deposited onto the existing asphalt prior to milling. The resulting combination is mixed to generate a recycled mix, which may then be discharged onto the road being remediated and further processed, such as by screeding, compacting, and sealing. | 03-22-2012 |

In a first stage, a mitral annular ring platform adapted for percutaneous delivery is delivered to and anchored in the mitral valve annulus. In the second stage, a valved-stent mitral valve prosthetic device adapted for percutaneously delivery is delivered to the mitral valve annulus for mounting in the mitral annular ring platform. This approach provides a consistent platform for accepting valved-stent mitral valve prosthetic devices from different vendors to be used. | 12-04-2014 |
20150073544 | SUPERABSORBENT COATED STENTS FOR VASCULAR REDUCTION AND FOR ANCHORING VALVE REPLACEMENTS - A stent-based vascular reducer platform adapted for percutaneous delivery to and anchoring in a pulmonary or tricuspid valve annulus and a valved-stent prosthetic device adapted to be percutaneously delivered to the pulmonary or tricuspid valve annulus for mounting in the vascular reducer platform. The vascular reducer platform includes an at least partially self-expanding stent and a cuff made of an absorbent material disposed at least partially circumferentially around the outer and inner surfaces of the stent. Upon placement at an implantation site such as the pulmonary or tricuspid valve annulus, the absorbent material expands by absorption of a fluid to substantially adhere and seal the stent at the implantation site. Preferably, the cuff expansion is delayed for a time sufficient to permit positioning of the stent at the implantation site. The stent and cuff may also be used as a space-reducer for venous insufficiency, aortic aneurysms, and hydroureter treatment. | 03-12-2015 |

20100191558 | LINEAR-PROGRAM FORMULATION FOR OPTIMIZING INVENTORY ALLOCATION - Computer-readable media for determining whether to accept a candidate order from a content provider, or advertiser, to display a particular number of advertisements within a specified time segment are provided. Initially, the content provider may include placement criteria that, among other things, identify a leaf node at which impressions of the advertisement are expected to be rendered. Generally, the leaf node refers to a location within a topic graph that describes inventory that is permissible to allocate to satisfy the candidate order. To perform the determination, the inventory of impressions available for accommodating the candidate order and a log of booked orders scheduled to be placed within the time segment are identified. Linear programs are then utilized to determine whether the estimated inventory that satisfies the placement criteria is available by predictively placing the booked orders at the estimated inventory. If estimated inventory remains available, the candidate order is accepted. | 07-29-2010 |
20120303464 | UNIFIED YIELD MANAGEMENT FOR DISPLAY ADVERTISING - Systems and method can be provided for selecting advertising payloads for display in an available advertising impression location. The advertising payloads can be selected based on an auction between various types of hosted and third party campaigns, including hosted reserved advertising campaigns and hosted non-reserved advertising campaigns. The rules of the auction can be set and/or updated over time to allow hosted campaigns to meet desired goals, such as delivering a minimum number of impressions or spending an expect budget amount. | 11-29-2012 |
20130024286 | MULTIPLE SLACK VARIABLES FOR BALANCING AD CAMPAIGN RISKS - Systems and methods are provided for evaluating candidate orders relative to available inventory, such as evaluating candidate orders of advertising impressions relative to an estimated available inventor of advertising impressions.

At least one objective function can include multiple slack variables. | 01-24-2013 |
20130097028 | Dynamic Floor Pricing for Managing Exchange Monetization - Systems and method are provided for conducting an auction to match an advertising payload to an available advertising impression.

The dynamic floor price provides a way for a publisher to incorporate the internal value of the available impression into the auction process, while still allowing the publisher to maximize the value of the available impression by exposing the impression to bids from outside parties. The dynamic floor price can be calculated based on both internal valuations of an available impression as well as external valuations derived from feedback from prior auctions. To facilitate determination of a dynamic floor prices, advertisers and available impressions can be categorized into various segments. | 04-18-2013 |
20130151334 | STRATIFIED DELIVERY OF ADVERTISEMENTS BASED ON AFFINITY SCORES - Methods, computer systems, and computer-readable storage media for modifying an advertising bid for delivering behaviorally-targeted advertising based on affinity scores are provided. A set of affinity scores associated with users belonging to a behavioral targeting segment is received. A bid adjustment factor is dynamically calculated based on a first affinity score of the set of affinity scores; the first affinity score is associated with a first user of the set of users. The bid adjustment factor is used to modify the advertising bid such that the bid reflects an affinity of the first user for the topic associated with the behavioral targeting segment. | 06-13-2013 |
20140100968 | DETERMINING BIDDER-AWARE VALUES FOR CONFIGURABLE AUCTION PARAMETERS - Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media are provided for determining configurable auction parameters based upon historic auction information that includes identities of auction participants or bidders. Such configurable auction parameters specify values to be applied for particular auction parameters (e.g., floor price), at the time of an auction for available advertising space, when one or more of the auction participants are associated with specified identities. Further provided are systems and methods for, at the time of an auction for available advertising space, determining auction parameter values in accordance with configurable auction parameters. | 04-10-2014 |
