Abstract: A stain removal accessory that cooperates with a stain removal device for treating a stained area is attached to a front head of the stain removal device, namely to a water and/or steam venting face of the stain removal device. The stain removal accessory includes a container like a pad, a cartridge, a sachet, or a capsule provided with a permeable external layer, for containing a stain removing material, and a flap-flip piece including a holder for holding the container, whereby the stain removal accessory is adapted to release the stain removing material on the stained area when cooperating with the stain removal device by facing a flow of water and/or steam generated by the stain removal device.

Abstract: The present specification describes systems and methods for filtering a video game user's match performance data or loadout data through validation mechanisms. For the performance data, the validated, signed performance data are written to a leaderboard service of the video gaming system. For the loadout data, the validated, signed performance loadout data are transmitted back to the client device and used when playing a game. Free computing and/or networking resources of the client game device are used as an intermediate between the client devices, validation services, and/or leaderboard services.

Abstract: Portable stain removal device (1) comprising a detachable stain removal accessory (171) containing a stain removing material (300), whereby said portable stain removal device is suitable for implementing any combination of the following functions: stain removing using a chemical reagent, rinsing the stain residues and chemical residues, and evaporating water from the treated area of the garment.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method of generating, for a given game map, an LOS catalog before gameplay and identifying a spawn location during gameplay based on the LOS catalog. For every unique pair of map nodes in a game map, the LOS catalog may indicate the minimum distance that must be traveled from a first map node of the pair to achieve LOS to a second map node of the pair, an identifier for the first map node, and an identifier for the second map node. When a gameplay session is initiated, the LOS catalog may be retrieved and used to identify relatively safe spawn points based on distances that must be traveled from enemy positions to achieve LOS to potential spawn points.

Abstract: Techniques for storing information representing a venue are described. A venue data provider may upload venue data to a venue data service. The venue data can include locations, geometries, and business categories of the buildings and floors. The venue data service can validate the venue data, and request a survey service to survey the venue using the validated venue data. A survey can include recording measurements of an environment variable at various locations of the venue. The location service can generate location fingerprint data from the survey. The location fingerprint data can include expected measurements of the environment variable at various locations of the building. The venue data service can provide the location fingerprint data to a mobile device such that the mobile device can determine a location of the mobile device in the venue using sensor readings of the environment variable.

Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for cache replacement. The present invention leverages Belady's optimal replacement algorithm by applying it to past cache accesses to inform future cache replacement decisions. The occupied cache capacity of a cache is tracked at every time interval using an occupancy vector. The cache capacity is retroactively assigned to the cache lines of the cache in order of their reuse, where a cache line is considered to a cache hit if the cache capacity is available at all times between two subsequent accesses. The occupancy vector is updated using a last touch timestamp of a current memory address. A determination is made as to whether the current memory address results in a cache hit or a cache miss based on the updated occupancy vector. The replacement state for the cache line is stored using the results of the determination.
