| 20120150657 | Enabling Advertisers to Bid on Abstract Objects - Computer-readable media, computer systems, and computing methods are provided for employing abstract objects to solicit bids from advertisers and to present ads submitted by the advertisers upon a user invoking the abstract objects while conducting an online search. The abstract objects include entities, entity classes, actions, and tasks, which are mined by crawling storage locations on the Internet. These abstract objects are monetized by building an index with entries referencing the abstract objects and maintaining the index in a location accessible to advertisers. Via the index, the advertisers target the abstract objects and place bids thereon. During a user-initiated online search, the abstract objects that are relevant to a task being carried out by the user are identified. Further, ads submitted by advertisers that placed bids upon the identified abstract objects are selected for presentation. Based on the bids, the winning advertiser's ad is presented to the user. | 06-14-2012 |

| 20100250332 | System and Method for Adaptive Bidding for Display Advertising - A system for performing adaptive bidding to secure Internet advertising impressions in an auction. Included are systems for analyzing advertising campaign objectives, including a campaign period, a target number of impressions, a target budget. An exemplary technique defines a bidding agent for performing the adaptive bidding seeking the minimum target spending of the budget. Objective results of the campaign such as average cost per won impression, total campaign duration relative to desired campaign period, and total expenditure relative to campaign budget can be optimized based on an empirically determined forecast. Techniques for adapting bids include statistically modeling winning bids during an exploration bidding phase, performing iterations for adjustment of the bid amounts using learn-while-bid adaptive bidding, learn-then-bid adaptive bidding, and guess-double-adjust adaptive bidding. Bidding tactics, especially those used to identify a minimum target bid and a maximum target bid used in bidding on an exchange are employed, and the results analyzed using statistical models. | 09-30-2010 |

| 20110061113 | ACCESSORY AUTHENTICATION FOR ELECTRONIC DEVICES - Improved techniques to control utilization of accessory devices with electronic devices are disclosed. The improved techniques can use cryptographic approaches to authenticate electronic devices, namely, electronic devices that interconnect and communicate with one another. One aspect pertains to techniques for authenticating an electronic device, such as an accessory device. Another aspect pertains to provisioning software features (e.g., functions) by or for an electronic device (e.g., a host device). Different electronic devices can, for example, be provisioned differently depending on different degrees or levels of authentication, or depending on manufacturer or product basis. Still another aspect pertains to using an accessory (or adapter) to convert a peripheral device (e.g., USB device) into a host device (e.g., USB host). The improved techniques are particularly well suited for electronic devices, such as media devices, that can receive accessory devices. One example of a media device is a media player, such as a hand-held media player (e.g., music player), that can present (e.g., play) media items (or media assets). | 03-10-2011 |

| 20090164841 | System And Method For Improving The Yield of Integrated Circuits Containing Memory - A system and method for increasing the yield of integrated circuits containing memory partitions the memory into regions and then independently tests each region to determine which, if any, of the memory regions contain one or more memory failures. The test results are stored for later retrieval. Prior to using the memory, software retrieves the test results and uses only the memory sections that contain no memory failures. A consequence of this approach is that integrated circuits containing memory that would have been discarded for containing memory failures now may be used. This approach also does not significantly impact die area. | 06-25-2009 |
