Method, system and computer program product for dynamic marketing strategy development
InactiveUS20050071223A1Reduce levelControl moreMarketingSpecial data processing applicationsMarketing channelComputer program
A method, system and computer program product for dynamically developing an optimal marketing strategy is disclosed. The method first optimizes the marketing strategy on the basis of customer responses and preferences. The history of customer response for the strategy, or for other similar strategies, is used in this step. Reinforcement learning in constrained domains is then used to further optimize the strategy. The constraints imposed in this step are attributed to multiple marketing channels, which are used to deploy the strategies. The constraints include the cost and the effectiveness of the marketing channel and the customer preferences for the marketing channel. The optimized strategy is then deployed, and the customer response is recorded. The method is executed repeatedly for a specified duration.

A method for programming a phase-change memory array and circuit of a phase-change memory device, each having a plurality of phase-change memory cells, may enable all the phase-change memory cells therein to be changed or set at a set resistance state, and may reduce the time needed to change the phase-change memory array to the set resistance state. In the method, a set current pulse having first through nth stages may be applied to the cells of the array to change the cells to the set resistance state. A minimum current level of the set current pulse applied to the phase-change memory cells in any stage may be higher than a reference current level for the cells of the array. A given current level of the set current pulse may be sequentially reduced from stage to stage.

Culture containing biomass acid hydrolysate and Coniochaeta ligniaria fungus
Agricultural biomass hydrolysate is detoxified by culturing in the presence of the fungus Coniochaeta ligniaria (teleomorph) or its Lecythophora (anamorph) state. This organism is capable of significantly depleting the toxicant levels of furans, particularly furfural and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural. A new strain of the fungus has been isolated and deposited in the Agricultural Research Culture Collection (NRRL) in Peoria, Ill., as Accession No. NRRL 30616. The detoxified agricultural biomass hydrolysate is useful as a substrate for industrial fermentation processes, especially in saccharification treatments for bioethanol production.

Control of mercury and other elemental metal emissions using reaction stabilization device
InactiveUS20060011115A1Reduce levelEliminate emissionNitrogen compoundsDispersed particle filtrationChemistryDecomposition
Ammonia and optionally carbon monoxide are injected into the flue gas containing metals such as mercury in a manner so that there are sufficient amounts of these materials in the flue gas when the flue gas is at a temperature of from 900° F. to 1,450° F. to oxidize the metals within the flue gas. The oxidized metals are then attracted to particulates present in the flue gas. Oxidation is facilitated by a reaction zone stabilizer through which the flue gas flows. The stabilizer provides a stable continuous ignition front. These particulates bound with oxidized metals are removed from the flue gas by a particulate removal device such as an electrostatic precipitator or baghouse. After the ammonia is injected, the flue gas can be rapidly cooled to a temperature below 500° F. to minimize decomposition of oxidized metals in the flue gas.
