San Mateo, California (PRWEB) August 20, 2014

4INFO — the fast-growing technology company solving the challenge of mobile attribution for national brand advertisers — today announced that it has been awarded patent No. 8,792,909 from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for its technology that ties mobile devices to households. This technology is at the core of 4INFO’s AdHaven Bullseye flagship advertising platform that has tied 152 million mobile devices to 101 million U.S. households — without the need for cookies or probabilistic modeling across Wi-Fi signals.

“It’s been a significant investment of time and capital to make this unprecedented technology possible,” said Tim Jenkins, CEO of 4INFO. “Our core technology allows us to do what our competitors cannot. Because of our proprietary, proven method for accurately tying mobile devices to a unique household ID, national brand marketers are able to unlock repositories of frequent shopper, CRM, demographic and other third party data to precisely target relevant ad campaigns and measure results that matter most: sales lift at the cash register.”

4INFO’s patent relates to its systems and methods for associating a mobile device to a household. The patent describes how machine learning facilitates the clustering of latitude-longitude pairs received for a mobile device over time. This method organizes location data into clusters and allows 4INFO to match mobile devices, such as a mobile phone or tablet, to a household.

Unlike competing solutions that can only infer about ad targeting, 4INFO’s ability to match a mobile device to a household allows advertisers to know precisely which household they are targeting with their mobile ad campaigns. 4INFO’s precise targeting makes it possible to tie ad impressions to sales transaction data for true cross-channel attribution, enabling advertisers to measure the return on their mobile ad spend.

No other platform comes close to the level of precision and accuracy in targeting with the scalability that national brand advertisers need. Since the introduction of 4INFO’s AdHaven Bullseye platform in March 2013, 4INFO has powered more than 250 mobile advertising campaigns for more than 140 national brands with impressive accuracy and results: average sales increases of 7.5%, Return on Ad Spend (ROAS) averaging 382% and as high as 823%; and market share increases at the expense of competitors.

“This award from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office is validation that 4INFO is bringing a truly innovative and unprecedented technology to the marketplace,” Jenkins said. “Ultimately the proof of the power of 4INFO’s core technology is in the results we’re able to deliver to national advertisers.”

4INFO has expanded its multiscreen targeting capabilities to enable advertisers to reach consumers with banner and video ad campaigns across desktop, laptop and mobile devices with the ability to attribute ad campaign sales results (in-store and online) down to the UPC level.

Kingsville, TX Residents Now Have Access to CEREC Technology for Custom Crown and Inlay Fittings, Through Dr. Tilman Richards

16/08/201416/08/2014Klarm Prototyping

Kingsville, TX (PRWEB) August 14, 2014

Dr. Tilman Richards now provides dental care for Kingsville, TX patients that helps people have new shining smiles and improved oral health in a simple office visit. Leading the way with exciting technologies that are changing how dentistry is done, Dr. Richards uses an advanced technology called CEREC® to create custom crowns and inlays made of ceramic material. All the equipment for the procedure is in his office, so patients leave the visit with a permanent new smile, not a temporary crown to be replaced at a later date.

The process starts with a detailed digital image of the tooth that is to be repaired. There is no mold with unpleasant gooey material, as in traditional crown and inlay procedures. Dr. Richards next works with the computer to guide the CEREC® machine on the precise dental specifics of the crown that is required. Next, a solid ceramic block, in a shade matching the patient’s teeth, is placed into the China milling machine.

The machine follows the plan from the image and Dr. Richards’s input, and mills the ceramic piece down to the size and shape of the new crown. After checking and adjusting the fit and bite of the new crown, Dr. Richards affixes it in place. In just one visit, a patient can have a new permanent crown to replace an old or damaged filling, using natural ceramic material rather than dangerous metals and toxic fillings.

Providing the type of dental care the Kingsville, TX area patients appreciate, Dr. Richards performs a wide variety of services for dental needs. From cosmetic improvements for his patients’ smiles to gum disease treatment, Dr. Richards delivers an outstanding level of service for each patient.

Learn more about the CEREC® procedure on the web at http://www.corpus-christi-dentist.com. Call the office at (361) 238-2373 for details on all the dental care services available to Kingsville patients at the office of Tilman Richards, DDS.

United Patients Group Announces the Herbalizer Vaporizer Technology Developed by Former NASA Engineer Hits the Cannabis Market Running

04/08/201404/08/2014Klarm Prototyping

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) August 01, 2014

As medical cannabis grows in popularity, more and more patients have been turning to vaporizers as a superior method of ingesting their medicine. The selective review committee at United Patients Group, a trusted online resource for medicinal cannabis information, have been looking for the perfect vaporizing system to recommend to patients, and they’ve finally found it: the Herbalizer.

The sleek clamshell design, adjustable heat settings, aromatherapy mode, and discreet stash spot make “Herbie” the perfect companion for cannabis patients of all experience levels—earning it the United Patients Group Seal of Approval.

“We are proud to give our Seal of Approval to the Herbalizer,” declares John Malanca, founder and owner of United Patients Group. “Herbie is the most advanced vaporizing system on the market, but it’s so easy to use that even novice cannabis patients will love it.”

Many medical cannabis patients find vaporizing to be the easiest delivery system for cannabis relief. Smoking your medicine can be hard on the lungs and destroys many of the gentle components of cannabis, eating it can take too long to take effect and too uncontrolled. Vaporizing delivers quick relief without the smoke—a win/win. And, vaporization saves you money on your medicine because there is no waste.

The Herbalizer is designed with smartvape technology to deliver precise temperature vaporization. This precision makes Herbie the best vaporizer for patients because it enables specific cannabinoid extraction, and has control and repeatability of the relief it delivers. It functions in two modes, vapor-therapy and aroma-therapy, so patients can choose between three delivery modes: a balloon, a silicone whip, or freestyle.

“We recommend the Herbalizer to our network of patients because of its controlled delivery system, product design, and user experience, all of which are unparalleled,” says Malanca. “Herbie gives patients the right dosage of medicine and then gives them a relaxing and rejuvenating ambiance with its aroma-therapy feature. This one’s a game-changer!”

Technology Advancements to Drive the Global Holography

03/08/201407/08/2014Klarm Prototyping

San Jose, California (PRWEB) July 24, 2014

Follow us on LinkedIn – Hologram can be defined as a type of photographic image offering 3-D effect. The holography technique is used to produce holograms, and is also used for optically storing, processing and retrieving information. Holographic technology is utilized in industrial applications for quality control in production and fracture testing, such as holographic nondestructive testing. Holographic technology is also used in civilian and military aircrafts, which utilizes ‘heads-up’ displays. Holographic elements, which are utilized in a range of industrial machines, results in the manufacture of less-expensive, smaller and more effective machines. The technology is adopted for specialized applications in the production of aircrafts and automobiles, television, telecommunications, computing and designing of assembly and scanning.

Holographic nondestructive testing (HNDT) is used for locating and evaluating disbonds, cracks, voids, inhomogeneity, residual stresses, and delaminations in a test sample without damage to the sample. HNDT is also used for measuring deformations on the surface of an object. The holographic interferometry technique is applied for nondestructive testing of materials. Holographic Interferometry (HI) is a surface inspection technique to measure the dynamic and static displacement of optically rough objects at precisions equal to a fraction of light wavelength (optical interferometric precisions).

Holographic scanners contain multiple lenses capable of focusing at different distances and reading bar codes from any angle and height. Holographic scanning technology is widely used in large scan areas in warehouse distribution, packaging, and material handling. In particular, holographic scanning is gaining rapid popularity in material handling applications. Advancements in holographic technology will drive the adoption of this technology in material handling. CD-sized holodisks are likely to emerge as innovative and cost effective holographic scanners in the coming years.
