    摘要: Methods, systems, and computer program products for facilitating user choices among complex alternatives utilize conjoint analysis in combination with psychological tests, skills tests, or configuration software to simplify choices to be made by the user. A selector tool presents a user with a first and second series of choices relating to attributes of complex alternatives available to the user. A utilities calculation engine calculates the relative utility of each of the complex alternatives to the user and presents output to the user, which indicates the relative utility of each of the complex alternatives. The user can then select the complex alternative that has the highest utility value for the user based on the calculated relative utility values. Configuration software, psychological tests, and/or skills tests or personality tests may be used before or after the conjoint analysis to facilitate user choices among complex alternatives by selecting attributes used for the conjoint analysis and/or selecting among results of the conjoint analysis.

    摘要: In general, in one aspect, the invention features methods that include using an interferometer to produce an output beam having a phase related to an optical path difference between a path of a first beam and a path of a second beam, wherein the first beam contacts a measurement object and either the measurement object or the interferometer are coupled (e.g., directly attached) to a stage that is moveable within a reference frame. The methods further include monitoring variations in the phase while both varying an orientation of the stage with respect to at least one degree of freedom in the reference frame and keeping a reference mark on the stage in a common position with respect to the reference frame, and determining information based on the monitored variations, the information being related to a contribution to the optical path difference caused by a deviation of the path of the first or second beam from a nominal beam path.

    摘要: Methods, systems, and computer program products for combining conjoint analysis with customer relationship management software, search engine software, and auction software are disclosed. According to one method, conjoint analysis is used to facilitate user interaction with a search engine. According to the method, search keywords are received as a user and treated as attributes by a conjoint analysis application. The conjoint analysis application presents the user with paired trade-off questions regarding the search keywords. Conjoint analysis is performed based on user responses to the questions. Based on the user's responses to the questions, relative importance weightings are computed for keywords. The keywords and the relative importance weightings are input to a search engine. The search is performed using the keywords. Results to be output to the user are selected based on occurrences of the keywords in the search results and the relative importance weightings.
