20110276615	CONTENT DELIVERY BASED ON USER TERMINAL EVENTS - Systems and methods are provided for selecting content based on user interactions with content previously presented to a user but failing to generate a conversion. In operation, a content delivery system delivers a content package to a user terminal, where the content package includes a content designed to elicit a pre-defined response, such as a conversion. The user terminal then presents the content to a user and generates a journal of events occurring in response to the content package. The journal is then used to determine the proximity of the events in the journal to the pre-defined response. If the degree of proximity to the desired response is high, the user is likely prepared to complete the conversion and therefore a same or similar content can be selected for the user terminal. Otherwise, new content can be delivered to the user terminal.	11-10-2011
20110295628	AUDIENCE TARGETING BASED ON PERFORMANCE HISTORY OF INVITATIONAL CONTENT - Systems and methods are provided for audience targeting based on a performance history of invitational content from secondary content providers, such as advertisements. In operation, responsive to request from a user for content package, a queue of available invitational content is retrieved. Thereafter, based at least on a performance history of the available invitational content in the queue, a context of the primary content, and a performance history of invitational content previously presented to other users, the queue can be at least partially reordered to provide an adjusted queue. The invitational content for the content package can then be selected based on the adjusted queue.	12-01-2011
20110295723	ADVERTISEMENT INVENTORY MANAGEMENT - Systems and methods are provided for automating booking and pricing of inventory atoms are provided, where each atom defines a granular traffic target in a k-dimensional booking space. In operation, a content delivery system receives a request for an inventory slot, consisting of at least some segment characteristics and a cost objective. In response to this request, the content delivery system retrieves availability for each atom in the target inventory slot from an inventory atom database. Additionally, a pricing for each atom in the request inventory slot is also obtained. Thereafter, the content delivery system will assemble a proposed inventory slot for the advertiser that includes the atoms that meet the advertiser's cost objective and the total cost for the proposed inventory slot. If accepted, the atom inventory database can be updated to reflect the new unavailability of the atoms in the proposed database.	12-01-2011
20110295846	PREDICTING CONTENT AND CONTEXT PERFORMANCE BASED ON PERFORMANCE HISTORY OF USERS - Systems and methods are provided for selecting contexts for new invitational content and invitational content for new contexts. In particular, a performance history of delivered invitational content in known contexts is combined with similarity measures for the delivered invitational content, with respect to a new invitational content, to generate a list of potential contexts for the new invitational content. Similarly, a performance history of in known contexts with delivered invitational content can combined with similarity measures for known contexts, with respect to a new context, to generate a list of potential content for the new context. Further, a combination of these methods can be used to pair new invitational content with new contexts.	12-01-2011
20120030008	FORECASTING AND BOOKING OF INVENTORY ATOMS IN CONTENT DELIVERY SYSTEMS - Systems and methods for planning and booking advertising campaigns are provided. In operation, a booking engine generates a collection of proposed campaigns in response to a campaign request, where the each of the proposed campaigns corresponds to a scenario of atom availability. Such scenarios can account for possible or anticipated changes in the number and cost of atoms or any other changes of interest to the advertiser. The availability for the atoms in the campaign request can be projected using the past history and the known future unavailability of the atoms and is further modified to account for the variation in atom availability associated with each scenario. Thereafter, the booking engine can present the results for each scenario to the advertiser and allow him to select a campaign.	02-02-2012
20120030036	BOOKING AND MANAGEMENT OF INVENTORY ATOMS IN CONTENT DELIVERY SYSTEMS - Systems and methods for managing electronic content from multiple content providers in a dynamic environment are provided. In operation, an advertiser can plan and book an electronic advertisement campaign by providing a campaign request specifying a requested inventory slot of atoms in an inventory space and other associated data. Thereafter, a proposed campaign can be generated based on an estimated availability of the atoms and any performance criteria specified by the advertiser. Once the proposed campaign is accepted and booked, the proposed campaign can be managed along with other active campaigns. These active campaigns can be managed based on a relative priority of the campaigns and an estimated availability for the atoms in the inventory space.	02-02-2012
20120041817	PRIORITIZING POPULATION SEGMENT ASSIGNMENTS TO OPTIMIZE CAMPAIGN GOALS - The present technology prioritizes or ranks segments based on the content provider's or content delivery system's goals or priorities. The content delivery system can monitor its performance in meeting any known goals, and should the content delivery system recognize that its progress towards meeting a goal is not satisfactory, the content delivery system can prioritize some segments over others to meet one or more goals. Since prioritizing a selection of segments can impact other system and content provider goals, the system can also be provided with a performance predictor that can run a series of prediction models to predict the optimum prioritization of segments to result in the best performance of the system.	02-16-2012
20120042262	POPULATION SEGMENTATION BASED ON BEHAVIORAL PATTERNS - The present technology analyzes a user's behavior to assign a user to targeted segments. The segments to which the user is assigned can be a reflection of a user's context with respect to potential targeted content. While a user can be assigned to many different segments, the user is likely to be most interested in content that she is presently interested in. Accordingly, the system can also prioritize or rank or order segments based on the user's present context. Content is then provided to the user on the basis of the segments to which the user belongs and the priority of segments.	02-16-2012

20100102825	Spectral and information theoretic method of test point, partial-scan, and full-scan flip-flop insertion to improve integrated circuit testability - Design for testability (DFT) algorithms, which use both gradient descent and linear programming (LP) algorithms to insert test points (TPs) and/or scanned flip-flops (SFFs) into large circuits to make them testable are described. Scanning of either all flip-flops or a subset of flip-flops is supported. The algorithms measure testability using probabilities computed from logic simulation, Shannon's entropy measure (from information theory), and spectral analysis of the circuit in the frequency domain. The DFT hardware inserter methods uses toggling rates of the flip-flops (analyzed using digital signal processing (DSP) methods) and Shannon entropy measures of flip-flops to select flip-flops for scan. The optimal insertion of the DFT hardware reduces the amount of DFT hardware, since the gradient descent and linear program optimizations trade off inserting a TP versus inserting an SFF. The linear programs find the optimal solution to the optimization, and the entropy measures are used to maximize information flow through the circuit-under-test (CUT). The methods limit the amount of additional circuit hardware for test points and scan flip-flops.	04-29-2010

20090311194	METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR THE PRODUCTION AND USE OF MAGNETOSOMES - Methods and compositions for using magnetosomes as cellular contrast agents and markers for magnetic resonance imaging are provided. Certain methods involve synthesizing magnetosomes in a cell as directed by a nucleotide construct comprising an exogenous polynucleotide sequence, wherein the magnetosome serves as a contrast agent or marker for magnetic resonance imaging. Methods of synthesizing and isolating magnetosomes for introduction into immune-matched cells within a tissue or subject for use as a contrast agent or marker for magnetic resonance imaging are also provided. Also provided are methods for stably transfecting cells to express a polypeptide that drives or modulates magnetosome production in the cell, cells produced by such methods and methods for their isolation, transgenic animals comprising at least one eukaryotic cell produced by such methods, and vectors and delivery systems for the transfection of such cells. Further provided are methods for non-invasively generating a visible image of a tissue or subject containing at least one cell such transfected cell, as well as use of such methods to monitor the location, migration, or proliferation of cells in a tissue or subject or to detect or monitor gene expression in a tissue or subject.	12-17-2009
