摘要:
A method for remotely selecting and ordering photographic prints, includes the steps of: sending a photographic film bearing a plurality of latent images to a photofinisher; developing the photographic film to produce visible images and scanning the visible images to create a digital image file at the photo finisher; producing an index print having a plurality of images from the photographic film along with an index number associated with each image and an order number; sending the index print to a customer; selecting images for which prints are desired from the index print; ordering photographic prints via telephone from the customer's home to the photofinisher, specifying the order number and the index numbers associated with the images for which prints are desired; and making photographic prints of the selected images at the photofinisher and sending the photographic prints to the customer.

Systems and methods are presented that may involve receiving a aggregated dataset, wherein the aggregated dataset includes data from a panel data source, a fact data source, and a dimension data source that have been associated with a standard population database. The process may also involve storing the aggregated data in a partition within a partitioned database, wherein the partition is associated with a data characteristic. The process may also involve associating a master processing node with a plurality of slave nodes, wherein each of the plurality of slave nodes is associated with a partition of the partitioned database. The process may also involve submitting an analytic query to the master processing node. The process may also involve assigning analytic processing to at least one of the plurality of slave nodes by the master processing node, wherein the assignment is based at least in part on the association of the partition with the data characteristic. The process may also involve reading the aggregated data from the partitioned database by the assigned slave node. The process may also involve analyzing the aggregated data by the assigned slave node, wherein the analysis produces a result at each slave node. The process may also involve combining the results from each of the plurality of slave nodes by the master processing node into a master result and reporting the master result to a user interface.

In embodiments of the present invention, a method is described for reducing bias by data fusion of a household panel data and a loyalty card data. In embodiments, a method is provided for receiving a consumer panel dataset in a data fusion facility, receiving a consumer point-of-sale dataset in a data fusion facility, receiving a dimension dataset in a data fusion facility, fusing the datasets received in the data fusion facility into a new panel dataset based at least in part on an encryption key, estimating a consumer behavior using a first model based on the consumer panel dataset, estimating a consumer behavior using a second model based only on those consumers present in both the consumer panel dataset and the consumer point-of-sale dataset, and refining the first model based at least on the results of the second model.

In embodiments of the present invention improved capabilities are described for using an analytic platform to obtain a projection, where a user of an analytic platform may select at least one dimension on which the user wishes to make a projection from the data set. A core information matrix may be developed for data set, where the core information matrix may include regions representing the statistical characteristics of alternative projection techniques that may be applied to the data set, and may include statistical characteristics relating to projections using any selected dimensions. In addition, a user interface may be provided whereby a user may observe the regions of the core information matrix to facilitate selecting an appropriate projection technique.

A vehicular screen antenna includes a conductor extending on a dielectric, such as a window. The conductor is configured as a loop having entry and exit segments, the loop being positioned generally centrally on the dielectric. The entry and exit segments extend proximate each other from the loop towards a first edge of the dielectric and are oriented on the dielectric so as to extend generally vertically when the dielectric is fitted to a vehicle.

A method for selecting and ordering photographic prints, includes the steps of: obtaining a digital image file containing a plurality of images; employing the digital image file to produce an index print having the plurality of images along with an index number associated with each image and a customer order number; prior to making any individual prints, delivering the index print to a customer; selecting images for which prints are desired from the index print; using the index print to order prints of selected images; making prints of the selected images; and delivering the selected prints to the customer.
摘要:
A patterned layer is formed by removing nanoscale passivating particle from a first plurality of nanoscale structural particles or by adding nanoscale passivating particles to the first plurality of nanoscale structural particles. Each of a second plurality of nanoscale structural particles is deposited on each of corresponding ones of the first plurality of nanoscale structural particles that is not passivated by one of the plurality of nanoscale passivating particles.
摘要:
A controller for use with an image formation device. An image formation system includes an image formation device and a controller associated with the image formation device. The image formation device can be operated in either copier mode or printer mode. In printer mode, the controller receives print jobs and forwards the print jobs to the image formation device. The controller converts the print jobs to pixel data and stores the pixel data in memory to buffer the print jobs. The controller also interprets print commands and controls functions performed by the image formation device.
