    Abstract: An audience measurement system generates signatures of unknown pieces of content viewed by panel members, and generates multiplexed reference signatures of known pieces of content. The signatures of the unknown pieces of content are stored and transmitted to a central processing site, where they are compared with the reference signatures for their identification. A signature comparator finds matches between the signatures of the unknown and the known contents.

    Abstract: An audience measurement system generates signatures of unknown pieces of content viewed by panel members, and generates reference signatures of known pieces of content. The signatures of the unknown pieces of content are stored and transmitted to a central processing site, where they are compared with the reference signatures for their identification. A scanning engine finds matches between the signatures of the unknown and the known contents, and stores matches so as to build “tracking segments”, i.e., strings of matches that indicate a coincidence between the unknown content and one or more known pieces of content for a certain period of time, and associates the unknown content to the known piece of content with the longest tracking segment.

    Abstract: A mouse driver arrangement combining a first functional block, comprising a scrolling-rate function generator for generating a time-dependent scrolling-rate control signal of pre-defined shape, whose output cycle is a function of the activation status of one or more mouse push-buttons, plus a second functional block, comprising a cursor trail analyzer for detecting a dominant direction in a cursor trail and setting a scrolling direction option accordingly. The scrolling-rate function generator includes an integrator for producing ramp-like scrolling-rate control signal segments of adjustable slopes under control of the mouse push-buttons. The output of both first and second functional blocks are combined in a scrolling-vector status variable, whose magnitude is controlled by the scrolling-rate function generator and represents the scrolling rate, and whose direction is set by the cursor trail analyzer and represents the scrolling heading.
