  • Patent number: 8903132
    Abstract: A method is provided for detecting a body part in a video stream from a mobile device. A video stream of a human subject is received from a camera connected to the mobile device. The video stream has frames. A first frame of the video stream is identified for processing. This first frame is then partitioned into observation windows, each observation window having pixels. In each observation window, non-skin-toned pixels are eliminated; and the remaining pixels are compared to determine a degree of entropy of the pixels in the observation window. In any observation window having a degree of entropy above a predetermined threshold, a bounded area is made around the region of high entropy pixels. The consistency of the entropy is analyzed in the bounded area. If the bounded area has inconsistently high entropy, a body part is determined to be detected at that bounded area.

  • Patent number: 6319036
    Abstract: An electrical card connector (1) includes a top lid (10) and a contact module (12). The top lid comprises a metal cover (100) and a pair of elongated grip arms (101) at opposite sides of the metal cover. Each grip arm is separately formed by insert molding at opposite sides of the cover and includes a rail (106) and a rib (107) projecting from a side of the rail. A pivot (108) is provided at a distal end of the rail and a wedge (109) extends from a forward end of the rail opposite the pivot. The contact module includes an insulative housing (120) and plurality of contacts (121). A pair of shaft lids (114) and a pair of lock portions (129) extend rearwardly and forwardly from rear and front corners of the insulative housing. Each shaft lid has a pivot hole (125) for pivotably engaging with a pivot of the grip arms. In use, an electrical card (2) is inserted into the top lid and the top lid is rotated to a closed position.
