A method of determining correlations and causality between media program content and consumer responsiveness involves identifying and storing media and commercial program time occurrence and content information and consumer media reviewing actions which occur in connection with the media and commercial program time occurrence and content information. The information is correlated to obtain and assign responsiveness probability values corresponding to type and intensity of consumer response for each of the media and commercial program time occurrence and content information. These responsiveness probability values are then applied to a second media program to place product advertising at a specific time within specific content therein as determined by the responsiveness probability values thus facilitating creation of new ads and modification of existing ones and further, directing placement of those advertisements within any and all broadcast and Internet media programming.

The invention relates to map construction and application, and belongs to the technical field of map construction. The map construction method comprises the steps of successively collecting road image information on a road by multiple vehicles running on the road, and obtaining locating information at a position point where the road image information is collected; extracting road information from the road image information; uploading the road information and the corresponding locating information obtained by the vehicles through the vehicles; and generating or updating road map information on the road based on the road information and the corresponding locating information of the vehicles.

A processing unit transmits, from at least one of a plurality of antennas, data corresponding respectively to the plurality of antennas. A control unit generates request signals with which to let a second radio apparatus supply information on rates at the second radio apparatus. When transmitting the request signal, the processing unit also transmits, from a plurality of antennas which includes antennas other than the antennas that transmit the data, known signals corresponding respectively to the plurality of antennas.

A system, central controller, and method for mitigating a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack in a networked computing system. One or more records including meta-data about network traffic are received from one or more network devices and anomalous network traffic is identified. A source address of the anomalous network traffic is determined and a mitigation action is initiated based on the source address and one or more mitigation rules, wherein a determination of whether the received data packet is part of the DDoS attack is based on one or more detection rules.

An ultrasonic flow meter system includes transducers arranged with respect to a conduit to define at least one chordal path through fluid flowing in the conduit, and at least one transmitting transducer and receiving transducer pair on the chordal path for generating a transit time signal. At least one receiving transducer is positioned to receive scattered energy to generate a range gated Doppler signal. The system further includes a processing subsystem for exciting the at least one transmitting transducer. The processing subsystem is responsive to the transit time signal and the range gated Doppler signal and configured to generate a velocity profile and a mean velocity of the fluid in the conduit.

A method for determining a displacement of a touch point is applied to a touch panel to reduce noise interfering with determination of the displacement. The method includes obtaining a displacement according to a movement of a touch point on the touch panel; checking whether the displacement is within a predetermined range; and determining that the movement is valid when the displacement is within the predetermined range.

A device, inserted in a running shoe is used to track the accumulation of destructive compression cycles within the shoe and to indicate this information to the user through a series of integrated indicators. The device has an advantage of being able to be placed in any shoe without compromising the construction or performance of the shoe. An additional advantage of the invention is the improved accuracy of the information by improving both the stability and longevity of the sensor system and the ability to distinguish destructive, partially destructive and nondestructive compressions. Another advantage of the invention is the reduction of the cost of construction while achieving a lifetime in excess of the shoe. Yet another advantage of the invention is the user interface, which is contained completely within the device allowing the user to view the information within the shoe.

The invention relates to a retrieval technology, and discloses a method and a device for providing a retrieval associated word, which are used for improving the accuracy of the retrieval associated word and the retrieval efficiency of a search engine; and the method is characterized by comprising the steps that: aiming at the retrieval keyword which is input by a user, a fuzzy matching mode is not adopted to obtain the retrieval associated word, target word segmentations are extracted on the basis of the text data which is contained in a webpage of the retrieval keyword, then the association degrees between each target word segmentation and the retrieval keyword are calculated, the target word segmentations which have the association degrees reaching a set threshold value are presented as the retrieval associated words, so a logical association relation with the retrieval keyword and other retrieval associated words which have or do not have the fuzzy matching relation can be obtained according the information content which is contained in the webpage of the retrieval keyword, accordingly, the information accuracy of the retrieval associated words is improved, the omission of part retrieval associated words is avoided, and furthermore, the retrieval efficiency of the search engine is effectively improved.

The invention relates to the technical field of remote data collection, transmission and processing, in particular to an RFID (radio frequency identification device) automatic identification on-line dynamic rapid weighing control system and a control method thereof. The control system comprises an industrial computer, an operable functional interface, a display screen, a PLC (programmable logic controller), an RFID radio frequency reader-writer, an exchange board, a weighing instrument, a weighing sensor and a power source. The control system is characterized in that output signal lines of the weighing sensor are connected with signal input lines of the weighing instrument; the output signal lines of the weighing instrument are connected with a signal input end of the industrial computer COM2; three signal input lines of the industrial computer are respectively connected with the RFID radio frequency reader-writer and the exchange board through network communication ports, and connected with communication port signals controlled by the PLC through a COM1 signal input end; a VGA (video graphics array) end of the industrial computer is connected with the signal input end of the display screen; and data processing, storage, counting, exchange, display and transmission are carried out through a VB (visual basic) programming tool. With the adoption of the RFID automatic identification on-line dynamic rapid weighing control system and the control method thereof, the trade statistic information cost and the labor cost are greatly reduced, the working efficiency and the information accurate rate are greatly improved.
