    Abstract: In accordance with some implementations, a method for measuring viewership of media content is disclosed. The method is performed on a client system. The client system obtains identification information for individuals who have agreed to participate in a media viewership totals measurement study, detects a first user of the client system, determines media content being presented in proximity to the first user, automatically determines if the first user is an individual who has agreed to participate in the media viewership totals measurement study; and generates viewership data according to the determination.

    Abstract: A server rack with vertically stacked shelves is disclosed. The shelves are used for housing loads (e.g. servers) and power supply units. Thus, both the power supply units and the servers are vertically stacked in the rack. An array of vertical and horizontal busses is secured to the back side of the server rack to electrically couple the servers with the power supply units. The arrangement of the PSUs and the busses provides for uniform current density across the server rack. The devices placed on the shelves are accessible and serviceable from the front of the server rack. The server rack can be placed within or secured to a device, system or a server room in a vertical orientation, a horizontal orientation or at an angle.

    Abstract: In accordance with some implementations, a method for measuring viewership of media content is disclosed. The method is performed on a client system. The client system captures presence data of one or more users of the client system with the camera. The client system then analyzes the captured presence data to determine if a respective user is a participant in a media viewership study. In accordance with a determination that the user is a participant in the media viewership measurement study, the client system determines the media content being presented. The client system creates viewership data based on the user and the media content being displayed in the proximity of the user and transmits viewership data to a server system.

    Abstract: A master beacon device emits a data packet that is received and retransmitted by servant beacon devices in a wireless mesh network that enables the beacon devices to detect the received signal strength indicator (“RSSI”) of beacon devices in proximity. Each servant beacon device transmits survey data packets comprising the RSSIs and hardware identifiers of proximate beacon devices to the master beacon device, which constructs a first virtual map of the mesh network. At a later time, each servant beacon device transmits authentication data packets, which are retransmitted, each retransmitting beacon inserting an RSSI and hardware identifier of the beacon device from which the authentication data packet was received, until they reach the master beacon device, which constructs a second virtual map of the mesh network. The master beacon device compares the first virtual map to the second virtual map to determine if the network is secure.
