  • Publication number: 20250013351
    Abstract: The subject matter of this specification generally relates to providing content related to text depicted in images. In one aspect, a system includes a data processing apparatus configured to extract text from an image. The extracted text is partitioned into multiple blocks. The multiple blocks are presented as respective first user-selectable targets on a user interface at a first zoom level. A user selection of a first block of the multiple blocks is detected. In response to detecting the user selection of the first block, portions of the extracted text in the first block are presented as respective second user-selectable targets on the user interface at a second zoom level greater than the first zoom level. In response to detecting a user selection of a portion of the extracted text within the first block, an action is initiated based on content of the user-selected text.

  • Patent number: 10296935
    Abstract: A system, method, apparatus and processor readable media are described for real-time prediction of an advertising audience volume through analysis of historical audience data, and tuning of the predicted audience volume. Embodiments enable a user to specify a query for audience volume prediction. Such a query may be a Boolean combination of various audience categories. A time range may be determined that indicates the amount of historical data that is to be analyzed to make the audience volume prediction in real time. Employing the user-specified query, an audience volume prediction may be provided for a future time period, based on an analysis of retrieved historical audience data for the time range. Embodiments may also enable a user to tune the predicted audience volume through modification of the query through one or more iterations.

  • Publication number: 20050104186
    Abstract: A chip-on-film (COF) package and method for image sensor has been disclosed. According to the method a COF film with opening is provided. The COF film has an upper surface, a lower surface and at least an opening. An image sensing chip is flip-chip mounted on the upper surface of the COF film. A transparent glass is bonded to the lower surface of the COF film. The opening is clipped by the transparent glass and the image sensing chip to form a hermetic space. The active surface of the image sensing chip includes an image sensing region toward the transparent glass through the opening and is sealed in the hermetic space by a limited filling material in order to prevent the image sensing region of the image sensing chip from contamination by means of COF tape packaging method.

  • Publication number: 20050098092
    Abstract: A wafer is characterized in that the wafer has a non-uniform distribution of crystal lattice vacancies, wherein the concentration of crystal lattice vacancies in the bulk layer are greater than the concentration of crystal lattice vacancies in the front surface layer. In addition, the front surface of the wafer has an epitaxial layer, having a thickness of less than about 2.0 ?m, deposited thereon. A process comprises heating a surface of a wafer starting material to remove a silicon oxide layer from the surface and depositing an epitaxial layer onto the surface to form an epitaxial wafer. The epitaxial wafer is then heated to a soak temperature of at least about 1175° C. while exposing the epitaxial layer to an oxidizing atmosphere comprising an oxidant, and the wafer is cooled at a rate of at least about 10° C./sec.
