  • Patent number: 8768047
    Abstract: Script detection service techniques are described. In an implementation, a corpora of text is analyzed to determine which strings in the corpora of text are to be included in a targeted dictionary that is usable for language detection services. The targeted dictionary is populated with strings that are individually associated with a human language. The strings include individual text characters associated with values that correspond to a particular subset of values in a table that associates subsets of values with individual human writing systems.

  • Publication number: 20140178083
    Abstract: A detection device for detecting a state of a waste toner container comprises an optical sensor and an actuation member. The optical sensor comprises an emitting unit emitting an optical signal and a receiving unit receiving the optical signal. A space is provided between the emitting and receiving units, and the optical signal travels along an optical path from the emitting unit to the receiving unit. The actuation member is movably disposed between the emitting and receiving units. The actuation member in a first position interrupts the optical path of the optical signal; and the actuation member is moved by the waste toner container to a second position when at least a part of the waste toner container is placed in the space. The actuation member in the second position allows a passage of the optical signal. An image forming apparatus using such a detection device is also provided.

  • Patent number: 8503715
    Abstract: Script detection service techniques are described. In an implementation, values representing individual text characters in a string of one or more text characters are identified to determine which human writing system is associated with the individual text characters. The values are compared to a table that associates subsets of values with individual human writing systems. The values are determined to be within a particular subset of values in the table that correspond to a particular human writing system. A particular human writing system is designated as associated with the string based on the values associated with the individual text characters in the string being within the particular subset of values that corresponds with the particular human writing system.

  • Publication number: 20120064145
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a wound dressing which may be a double-layer wound dressing, comprising a polymer material layer in combination with anti-infective antibiotics or anti-infective Chinese herb medicine at the upper layer of the wound dressing, and a porous carbon material layer capable of loading with skin-associated epithelial cells at the lower layer of the wound dressing. The wound dressing with the antibiotics can block effectively the invasion of bacteria in the external environment, thereby preventing the wound from secondary infection. While covering the wound site, the porous carbon material layer with the epithelial cells can thus provide the healthy epithelial cells and attract the surrounding healthy cells to aggregate for secreting collagen so as to promote the wound healing process. According to the present invention, there is an obviously enhancing effect on wound tissue regeneration, restoration and healing, and there is a grant development potential in clinical applications.
