Abstract: A method for performing computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) based on a medical scan image includes: pre-processing the medical scan image to produce an input image, a flipped image, and a spatial alignment transformation corresponding to the input image and the flipped image; performing Siamese encoding on the input image to produce an encoded input feature map; performing Siamese encoding on the flipped image to produce an encoded flipped feature map; performing a feature alignment using the spatial alignment transformation on the encoded flipped feature map to produce an encoded symmetric feature map; and processing the encoded input feature map and the encoded symmetric feature map to generate a diagnostic result indicating presence and locations of anatomical abnormalities in the medical scan image.

Abstract: A method includes detecting a session between a mobile device and an alternative playback device. In response to detecting that the session has been established, the method also includes presenting a graphical user interface (GUI) on a screen of a mobile device of a user including a voice search GUI element representing a voice search, receiving a user selection of the voice search GUI element, receiving an audio input of the user to request a search of one or more media items, the audio input specifying one or more search criteria for the search, and submitting a textual search query derived from the audio input for processing, wherein a result of the search is to be presented to the user on a screen of the alternative playback device.

Abstract: A removable and replaceable tool storage compartment apparatus including tool storage compartments and a compartment receiver. The tool storage compartments each include a frame, a plurality of panels coupled to the frame. A closure is configured to open and close an entrance to an inside of the tool storage compartment. The compartment receiver is configured to secure to a truck and support the tool storage compartment thereon. Lift mounts are coupled to the tool storage compartment and are used to remove the tool storage compartments from the truck. A lock arm is configured to lock the compartment receiver to secure the tool storage compartments to a bay to receive storage compartment to the truck.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for identifying prospective entities to interact with. The method is executed by a device having a processor and a display, and includes providing a user interface via the display, determining a plurality of entities located within a geographic area, and filtering the plurality of entities using one or more filtering criteria to determine a subset of entities that correspond to a selected type of entity. The method also includes obtaining information corresponding to each of the subset of entities; using the information corresponding to the subset of entities to determine, for each entity, a ranking of being a prospective entity to interact with; identifying one or more of the subset of entities in the user interface, in association with the geographic area; and enabling contact to be initiated with a selected one of the one or more of the subset of entities.

Abstract: An anti-chop system for a pneumatic paintball marker that is automatically cleaned. The anti-chop eye system includes a transmitter and receiver arranged so as to sense the presence of a paintball within a breech using a beam of light. A moving member of the paintball marker automatically wipes at least one surface of the transmitter and/or receiver to remove contaminants such as paint, grease, dirt and the like. By automatically cleaning the anti-chop eye system, the reliability of the system is improved.

Abstract: Some embodiments are directed to a paintball loader having a diverter member supported within a housing of the loader. The diverter member can limit the number of paintballs which enter an outlet passageway leading to a marker inlet. In some embodiments, diverter member can have projections and channels formed in a bottom surface thereof to control the number of paintballs that can simultaneously enter the entrance to the outlet passageway.

Abstract: A multi-function grinding wheel truing mechanism that is capable of automatically imparting to the periphery of a grinding wheel either a combination radial and straight form, a radial form, a straight form, or a Gothic Arch form. A dresser unit housing swingably supports a turn post carrier which is normally biased to a first position by a spring. A turn post carrying a main diamond for dressing the periphery of a grinding wheel is rotatably supported on the turn post carrier. A single drive means is carried on the turn post carrier for moving the main diamond through a dressing path, and to accomplish all functions, including the automatic retraction of the main diamond at the end of the truing path and the automatic extension of the main diamond at the end of the return path. A cam means is operatively mounted on the turn post carrier for providing a combined rotary and swinging motion for moving the main diamond in a straight line dressing path, and for carrying out the dressing of a Gothic Arch form.
