  • Publication number: 20180144104
    Abstract: Computer-implemented methods, systems, and computer program products are disclosed for determining nutrition information of nutrition items for a user of a computer device. The method includes: (a) receiving a photograph of a nutrition item from the user computer device, the photograph being captured by a camera of the user computer device; (b) analyzing the photograph and extracting a set of features from the photograph using a nutrition item feature recognition engine, and determining a nutrition item type of the nutrition item based at least in part on the one or more extracted features; (c) determining a quantity, volume, or mass of the nutrition item in the photograph; (d) determining nutritional content information of the nutrition item based on the nutrition item type and the quantity, volume, or mass of the nutrition item; and (e) transmitting the nutritional content information to the user computer device for displaying to the user.

  • Patent number: 7702678
    Abstract: When a Web-browser user employs a hyperlink, a Web-information manager makes a log entry that includes the URL of the Web page containing the hyperlink and also lists the URL of the target Web page, to which the hyperlink refers. When the user requests that a Web page be captured for later use, the Web-information manager uses the log to find the page at the root of the hyperlink chain that led to that page. It then determines from the root page's URL whether the root page is a search-result page. If it is, the Web-information manager infers the search specification from that URL and associates it with the page to be captured.

  • Publication number: 20010001042
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for depositing braze alloy on a surface of a component that will be subsequently joined to a second component. In one form a braze alloy is sprayed by a thermal process. The braze alloy is sprayed in such a fashion that substantially all of the powder braze alloy is unmolten, but is heated to a state deformable enough to bond to the surface. One form of the spraying operation utilizes a High Velocity Oxygen Fuel spray gun.

  • Patent number: 6164917
    Abstract: A lightweight high temperature multiproperty rotor disk and method of manufacture for use in a gas turbine engine. The rotor disk of a nickel super alloy and having a plurality of lightweight high temperature single crystal blade attachment lugs bonded thereto. The single crystal high temperature rotor blade attachment lugs being cast in a substantially rectangular shape and bonded to the circumference of the disk. A method of manufacturing the rotor includes positioning the plurality of single crystal attachment lugs on a positioning ring that has locating nests formed thereon. Subsequently, the rotor disk is placed within the bonding ring and a restraining ring is placed around the entire subassembly. Upon subjecting the assembly to high temperature the rotor disk, having a coefficient of thermal expansion greater than the coefficient of thermal expansion of the restraining member, forces the components into a mating relationship.
