The disclosure includes a system and method for processing a click at a user interface. A method includes partitioning, based on historical data, an offer component associated with additional online content to include a first region and a second region. A method further includes transmitting the offer component to the user interface for display. A method further includes receiving a first user interaction with the offer component. A method further includes determining the received user interaction is within the second region of the offer component. A method further includes presenting, responsive to receiving the second user interaction, a user prompt for a confirmation of the interaction. A method further includes receiving a second user interaction. A method further includes determining the second user interaction is indicative of confirmation of the interaction. A method further includes providing the additional online content associated with the offer component responsive to the determination of confirmation.

Mechanism to reduce accidental clicks on online content

Display data is transmitted to a user interface. The display data includes an offer component for providing additional online content. The offer component includes a first region and a second region. A first user interaction is received from the user interface. It is determined whether the first user interaction occurred within one of the first region and the second region. When the first user interaction is determined to have occurred within the first region, the first user interaction is processed as a request for the additional online content associated with the offer component. When the first user interaction is determined to have occurred within the second region, a user prompt is presented for a confirmation of the request for the additional online content associated with the offer component.

A long-range active thermal imaging system includes an electromagnetic radiation source in the range of from about 10 GHz to about 500 GHz; a beam controller for receiving and retransmitting the electromagnetic radiation in a desired direction toward and onto a surface of a target, thereby heating the target and producing an infrared radiation emission from the target surface; and an infrared imager, e.g. an infrared camera coupled to a processor and display, for receiving the target's infrared radiation emission and generating a thermal image of the target. The radiation source may be selected such that the radiation penetrates into the target to provide a thermal signature, e.g. from subsurface features or objects. The thermal signature exhibits rapid changes that can be monitored in real time. This may allow surface or subsurface details or objects to be detected that would not otherwise be apparent.
