20150112170 | DEVICE AND METHOD FOR NON-INVASIVE GLUCOSE MONITORING - A device and method for non-invasively measuring analytes and physiological parameters by measuring terahertz radiation emitted though biological tissue. Terahertz pulses are emitted from a miniaturized quantum cascade laser to a fiber optic array into the wrist of the user. A corresponding sensor on the opposite side of the wrist receives the terahertz signals that have been modified by interacting with organic molecules. The data from the sensor is compiled and analyzed on a RAM chip and logic chip, where a program uses an algorithm to compare measurements to a library of existing measurements and topographic maps generated when the user first dons the device. Once the algorithm has parsed all the data points, a value, such as blood glucose level, appears on a display of the device. The device may be equipped with a gasket to reduce ambient light from contacting the sensor. | 04-23-2015 |

20160034948 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR FRACTIONAL ATTRIBUTION UTILIZING USER-LEVEL DATA AND AGGREGATE LEVEL DATA - Embodiments provide fractional attribution using aggregate-level information as well as user-level data. For example, aggregate data may be used to determine marginal conversion probabilities for individual attributes within each channel. For channels that have user-level data, the marginal conversion probabilities may be determined using user-level data associated with converted users and aggregate-level data associated with non-converting users. Different channels may have different attributes and the channels may be weighted, in one embodiment, via a causal analysis using instrumental variables. Each conversion path may be characterized by a set of attributes. Additionally, each conversion path may have touch points. The marginal conversion probabilities for the attributes may be combined to produce an importance weight for each touch point on a converting path. These importance weights can be normalized across the touch points on the converting path to obtain attribution results. | 02-04-2016 |

20090041286 | "Isobuds" is a pair of earbud attachments - The attachment is a single piece of injection molded PVC vinyl, soft plastic or other suitable material and is shaped similar to a funnel with ridges. The attachment is designed to fit the first generation ear bud that is still the most common type of ear bud. The attachment has a tunnel running through the middle of it so that music or media is transferred from the ear bud to the listener's ear. The larger section of the attachment fits completely around the “output” end of the ear bud. The larger section of the attachment is the receiving end or sound input end. The smaller section of the attachment fits into the outside edge of user's ear canal. This is called the output end because this is where the music or media exits the attachment. The middle section of the attachment is the transition area that bridges the larger section to the smaller section and provides stability for the entire unit. Standard ear buds are bulbous in shape and have a stem attached to the sphere, and are used to listen to a compact CD player, mp3 player, transistor radio or cell phone. The gradual transition from large to small or funnel or wedge shape allows isobuds to fit small, medium or large ear canals. The attachment allows for a snug compression fit in the listener's ear. | 02-12-2009 |
