  • Patent number: 11361152
    Abstract: An automated content labeling system is disclosed. An example embodiment is configured to: register a plurality of labelers to which annotation tasks are assigned; populate a labeling queue with content data to be annotated; assign annotation tasks from the labeling queue to the plurality of labelers; and provide a superpixel annotation tool enabling the plurality of labelers to configure a size of a segment cluster in an image of the content data, and select each segment cluster to be included in a segmentation feature with a specified object class, the segment clusters including similarly colored pixels from the image.

  • Patent number: 8292373
    Abstract: A novel spindle nut assembly is presented comprising the following three components: a washer, a locking snap ring, and a nut. Each of these three components function together, and in conjunction with the spindle of a vehicle axle, to affix a wheel hub assembly onto the spindle of an axle. The three components comprising the spindle nut assembly incorporate design features allowing the components to interlock and resist loss of preload compression on the hub assembly.

  • Patent number: 5677116
    Abstract: The invention provides a photographic element comprising a polyester support bearing a light-sensitive silver halide photographic emulsion layer, the support having adjacent thereto a polymer-containing subbing layer, the subbing layer having adjacent thereto a layer comprising a hydrophilic binder containing dispersed droplets of a high boiling hydrophobic organic liquid, said liquid having a logarithm of its octanol/water partition coefficient (log P) value greater than 7.7. The invention also includes a process for preparing a photographic element of the invention and a process for forming an image in an element of the invention. The invention further includes a photographic element comprising a polyester support bearing a hydrophilic layer containing an antihalation agent, such as elemental silver, with or without an intervening subbing layer.
