  • Patent number: 11954463
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to determining a similarity of components of a current webpage to different UI components for use in automatically generating an updated webpage. A computer system may receive information specifying a current webpage, including a particular current UI component and information specifying a plurality of different UI components for an updated webpage. The computer system may identify one or more characteristics of the particular current UI component. The computer system may determine, based on the identified one or more characteristics, a similarity of ones of the plurality of different UI components to the particular current UI component. The computer system may select, based on the determining, a particular different UI component from the plurality of different UI components for use, in the updated webpage, for the particular current UI component. Such techniques may advantageously improve user experience by automatically providing up-to-date user interfaces.

  • Patent number: 6555817
    Abstract: A system and method for correcting automatically the distortions in electron background diffration (EBSD) patterns which result from magnetic fields produced by some scanning electron microscopes (SEMs) used for collecting such patterns from polycrystalline sample materials. The method may be implemented as a software program running on a computer which is part of a conventional system for obtaining and analyzing EBSD patterns to obtain crystallographic information about the sample material. The method includes a calibration procedure and a correction procedure. In the calibration procedure, a distorted EBSD pattern obtained from a calibration sample is displayed on an operator display and user interface. Using an input device, an operator defines segment endpoints along a Kikuchi band in the distorted EBSD pattern image. From the user defined segment endpoints, correction parameters are calculated based on a mathematical curve (e.g., cubic spline) fitting the endpoints.
