Filed:

Nov 6, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/707547

Inventors:

Rodney C. Cook - Bothell WA

Assignee:

Sightward, Inc. - Bellevue WA

International Classification:

G06F 1518

US Classification:

706 20, 706 21, 700 83

Abstract:

A computer-implementable method of selecting which engine of a plurality of inference engines to use to predict the categories into which individuals fall, such as buyer/non-buyer, and produce forecast reports based on the predictions is disclosed. Training (known) sample data that categorizes individuals based on the individuals profile is sequentially applied to multiple inference engines to determine which engine is best based on a desired objective. Then, a classifier associated with the selected engine is used to analyze unknown sample data, create category predictions and produce forecast reports based on the predictions.

Appl. No.:

11/016398

Inventors:

Rodney Cook - Olympia WA, US
Neal Hammond - Galt CA, US

International Classification:

A23L 1/31

US Classification:

426281000

Abstract:

The present invention is directed to an improved fruit infusion process, and more specifically, to an improved blueberry infusion process. Specifically, the present invention is directed to an improved fruit infusion process wherein a plurality of blueberries are placed into a tumbler. A first solution and second solution are added to the tumbler, thereby, along with the plurality of blueberries, forming a blueberry solution. The blueberry solution is processed in the tumbler. In a preferred embodiment, the blueberry solution is processed for at least twenty-four hours. Optionally, the Brix level of the blueberry solution may be tested, and it is preferred that the Brix level of the blueberry solution be at least 70Brix. The water activity level of the blueberry solution is tested, and preferably, the water activity level is at least 0.65 Aw. The plurality of blueberries are removed from the tumbler and packaged.

International Classification:

G06F 314

US Classification:

345349

Abstract:

A graphical user interface for a computer system that includes a memory for storing application programs and application files. The user interface permits the user to initiate execution of a selected application program, and produces a snapshot that graphically represents a screen produced during the execution of the application program. The snapshot may be displayed after execution of the application program is terminated, and provides a visual reference for the application file that was opened when the snapshot was taken. Snapshots and their corresponding application files may be organized in a project format, and new documents opened by an application program may be automatically placed in the opened project. The user interface provides an improved technique for initiating execution of application programs.

Assignee:

Commerce Signals, Inc. c/o Verisk Analytics, Inc. - Jersey City NJ

International Classification:

G06Q 30/02
G06Q 40/04
G06Q 30/08
G06Q 30/06

Abstract:

Systems and methods are provided for electronic stimulus evaluation through one or more signals. The one or more signals protect underlying raw data relating to behavior, including purchase behavior and location-based behavior. A server platform in network communication with at least one signal buyer computer and at least one signal provider computer facilitates creation of the one or more signals. Anonymized identifiers are used to identify objects or consumers associated with behavior data and exposure to the electronic stimulus. The server platform provides optimization analytics for the stimulus based on the one or more signals, which include measurement signals, behavior signals, and lift signals.

Abstract:

Systems and methods are provided for object identifier translation using a key pairs platform in a virtualized or cloud-based computing system. A key pair refers to a pair of identifiers held by an entity. Each key pair includes at least one anonymized object identifier. Advantageously, the key pair system protects privacy and provides anonymity for objects by not disclosing the identity of the objects or the underlying data associated with the objects.
