Abstract: Technologies are described herein that relate to identifying supplemental content items that are related to objects captured in images of webpages. A computing system receives an indication that a client computing device has a webpage displayed thereon that includes an image. The image is provided to a first DNN that is configured to identify a portion of the image that includes an object of a type from amongst a plurality of predefined types. Once the portion of the image is identified, the portion of the image is provided to a plurality of DNNs, with each of the DNNs configured to output a word or phrase that represents a value of a respective attribute of the object. A sequence of words or phrases output by the plurality of DNNs is provided to a search computing system, which identifies a supplemental content item based upon the sequence of words or phrases.

Other innovations relate encoding that includes adaptive switching of color sampling rates between units within a video sequence. Still other innovations relate encoding that includes adaptive switching of bit depths between units within a video sequence.

Abstract: A touch fastener product having a base sheet with a resin side surface and a male touch fastener element having a head disposed at a distal end of a resin stem and overhanging the base sheet. The head has an overall shape, as projected in a plane parallel to the base sheet, with a perimeter that defines spaced apart extremities corresponding to head sections of different engagement characteristics and disposed at different distances from a centroid of the overall shape. In one example, the head projection has a polygonal perimeter consisting of straight edges of differing lengths connected at radiused corners. In another, the perimeter comprises an unbroken series of at least three arc segments of different curvatures, with centers of the arc segments disposed at different distances from the centroid.

Abstract: A method for identifying and providing a composition or digital-work to a user. The user may explicitly and/or implicitly indicate an interest in a composition that is discovered during everyday activities.
