G06F 17/27

US Classification:

707803, 704 9

Abstract:

An advertisement placement method and system for relating an advertisement to a dataset based on a trainable semantic vector (TSV) associated with the dataset and respective semantic representations of the advertisements. The trainable semantic vector associated with the dataset is generated based on at least one data point included in the dataset and known relationships between predetermined data points and predetermined categories. A comparison process is performed to determine a similarity between the trainable semantic vector associated with the dataset and the semantic representation associated with each of the plurality of advertisements. The system selectively relates one or more of the advertisements with the dataset based on a result of the comparison process. The selected advertisement or advertisements may be displayed with the dataset.

Mary Nadeau - Alburtis PA, US
David Snyder - Coopersburg PA, US
Robert Wolf - Fleetwood PA, US
Eric Craig - Allentown PA, US

International Classification:

G02B006/00
G02B006/32

US Classification:

385/137000, 385/033000

Abstract:

An optical bench includes a substrate having a fiber receiving area, a lens mounting area, and a reflective area. The fiber receiving area, the lens mounting area and the reflective area are positioned linearly. The fiber receiving area includes a V-groove etched or micromachined in the substrate, wherein a length of optical fiber cable is inserted in the V-groove to facilitate alignment of optical fiber cable towards the lens mounting area. The lens mounting area includes first support members for supporting a lens positioned to facilitate directing of light from the optical fiber cable towards the reflective area. The reflective area includes a planar mirror and second support members, wherein the second support members support a diode positioned above the planar mirror, wherein the planar mirror is positioned in a slanted angle to facilitate directing of light from the lens to the diode.

Abstract:

A transceiver is adapted for communication with another transceiver over a common channel by a technique that allows both transceivers to be identical in manufacture and use. The technique avoids designating one transceiver the "master" and the other the "slave", by relying on random time differences between transmissions during a start-up period that initially establishes communications. The transmissions are typically in multi-bit packets. An example using an optical transceiver having a light emitting diode used for both optical transmission and optical detection is given, wherein the channel is an optical fiber.
