Automated system, methods, algorithms, procedures, and computer software programs and computer program products for improving and optimizing the performance of messaging campaigns, particularly for marketing campaigns in which advertisements or other messages are distributed over an interactive measurable medium such as the Internet. Analysis and Optimization method and procedure, an automated system, and system and method that exploit the underlying multi-attribute structure, as well as other features and advantages. Optimization procedures allocate the ad alternatives or other message to the customer population to optimize business objectives such as maximizing the number of positive responses received. Procedure for generating message allocations that improve and attempt to optimize the campaign performance. Methods ensure that campaign constraints are not violated. Methods can be implemented on a computer that is programmed to retrieve message performance information and to generate recommended message allocations for each stage in a multi-stage messaging campaign to achieve messaging goals.
Abstract:
Core-less current sensor comprises two parallel conductors carrying equal currents in the same direction. The magnetic field in mid location of the two parallel conductors carrying equal currents in the same direction for all current magnitudes is zero in absence of an external magnetic interference. Sum of magnetic fields in two points equidistant from the mid location on both the sides is zero as magnetic fields at these points are equal in magnitude and opposite in polarity for all current magnitudes and for equal amount of currents flowing through both conductors in same direction in absence of an external magnetic interference. Two sensing elements can be arranged between the two parallel conductors for sensing the magnetic field due to currents flowing through them for the purpose of current measurement. Sensor output is the difference between two outputs measured by the sensing elements. Outputs of sensing elements can vary due to external interference. As variation in the outputs of sensing elements due to external interference gets cancelled in sensor output, automatic external field compensation can be achieved.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus, wherein a die is attached to a supporting base structure utilizing a rigid bond adhesive for a SAW (Surface Acoustic Wave) sensor. A rigid bond adhesive with a preferably high glass transition temperature (Tg) can be applied directly between the die and the die supporting structure in a pattern to eliminate time dependent gradual stress effects upon SAW sensor. The rigid bond adhesive can then be cured, which results in a high yield strength and a high young's modulus. The supporting base and the die material comprise a same co-efficient of thermal expansion in order to avoid die displacement over temperature.

Abstract:
The SAW sensor in a stainless steel button package having a diaphragm and mounted on a threaded port. Package can hermetically seal a sensor and RFID-antenna assemblies from media. Sensor diaphragm is exposable to media. Sensor and RFID antennas communicate electrically with SAW sensor and RFID device, respectively, for sensor measurements and identification. Antennas receive RF interrogation signal from a nearby interrogator/transceiver and send reflected RF signals back to the interrogator unit containing sensor measurement and sensor ID. TRF signal excites a SAW resonator inside the sensor and causes the SAW to resonate wherein resonant frequency changes with pressure and temperature applied to the sensor. Antennas could be printed circuit board antennas, helical antennas, loop antennas, any other commercially available off-the-shelf antennas or a combination of these.

Abstract:
A wireless and batteryless pressure sensor apparatus comprises of a SAW sensor and an antenna mounted on a printed circuit board. Optionally, and RFID tag in used in combination with the SAW sensor. A sensor antenna and a RFID antenna can be located on the printed circuit board such that the antennas communicate electrically with the sensor and the RFID device. The sensor can be interrogated utilizing a radio frequency, which is used to excite a SAW crystal inside the sensor. The interrogation signal causes the SAW to resonate wherein a resonant frequency changes with the pressure and temperature that is applied to the sensor. An interrogator can receive a return (echo) signal representing a change in SAW sensor properties (e.g., diaphragm change). A printed circuit board can be mounted on a stainless steel port and overpackaged with standard processes for hermetically sealing the sensor, or sensor and RFID device with at least one antenna.
