  • Publication number: 20150240734
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for detecting hydrocarbon ingestion into an engine based on the simultaneous monitoring of cylinder imbalance and an elevated exhaust exotherm. Crankshaft acceleration data is monitored during steady-state and transient engine conditions while exhaust temperatures are estimated during non-regeneration conditions. Engine speed and load is limited to reduce further hydrocarbon ingestion.

  • Patent number: 8992895
    Abstract: The instant disclosure relates to sunscreen compositions. The sunscreen compositions include (a) at least one UV filter (b) at least one booster, (c) at least one thermosensitive polymer, and (d) at least one wetting agent. Sunscreen compositions comprising components (a)-(d) exhibit a surprisingly high sun protection factor (SPF). The disclosure further relates to methods of using the sunscreen compositions for protecting keratinous substances such as skin and hair from UV radiation.

  • Patent number: 8964045
    Abstract: Among other things, one or more techniques and/or systems are provided for quantifying blur of an image. Blur may result due to motion of a camera while the image is captured. Accordingly, motion measurement data corresponding to motion of the camera during an exposure event may be used to create a camera rotation matrix. A camera intrinsic matrix may be obtained based upon a focal length and principle point of the camera. A transformation matrix may be estimated based upon the camera rotation matrix and/or the camera intrinsic matrix. The transformation matrix may be applied to pixels within the image to determine a blur metric for the image. In this way, blur of an image may be quantified offline and/or in real-time during operation of the camera (e.g., so that the image may be re-acquired (e.g., on the fly) if the image is regarded as being overly blurry).

  • Patent number: 8938434
    Abstract: Records are obtained from various sources, including public records, and are then augmented and grouped. At least one augment key is applied to each of the records resulting in an augment key value for each record. The records are augmented based on the key value. Augmenting the records includes combining the fields of the common records into a single record and then removing the duplicate records. The augmented records are then grouped according to household. At least one household grouping key is applied to each of the augmented records resulting in a household grouping key value for each record. The records having the same household grouping key value are displayed as a household grouping.

  • Publication number: 20140186411
    Abstract: A meta-stable photoprotective composition, a product including the meta-stable composition, and a method of protecting a keratinous substrate from UV radiation by applying the product are provided. The meta-stable photoprotective composition includes at least one water-in-oil emulsifier having a hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) of less than 6, at least one non-ionic oil-in-water emulsifier having an HLB of greater than 9, at least one ionic surfactant, and at least one sunscreen active ingredient. The weight ratio of the at least one non-ionic oil-in-water emulsifier to the at least one water-in-oil emulsifier is about 0.2 to about 2.0. The meta-stable composition converts from an oil-in-water (O/W) emulsion to a water-in-oil (W/O) emulsion upon rubbing.

  • Publication number: 20140119639
    Abstract: Among other things, one or more techniques and/or systems are provided for classifying a water-body. For example, initial water-body segmentation may be used to segment imagery into water-body features or non-water-body features to create an initial water-body map. The initial water-body map may be refined based upon confidence scores assigned to pixels within the imagery. In one example, a confidence score may correspond to a confidence that a stereo matching technique produced a correct elevation for a pixel. A relatively low confidence score may indicate that the pixel corresponds to water (e.g., due to a lack of features/texture on water), while a relatively high confidence score may indicate that the pixel does not correspond to water (e.g., due to presence of features/texture, such as roads, building corners, etc.). In this way, confidence scores may, for example, be used to refine the initial water-body map to create a final water-body map.
