  • Patent number: 10015371
    Abstract: An electronic device able to receive a target frame for tracking a moving target which is included in a search reference sets at least one first detecting region in the target frame. The processor determines similarities between the search reference and the at least one first detecting regions. Then, the processor determines a specific first detecting region in the target frame and determines an actual position of the moving target based on the specific first detecting region.

  • Publication number: 20170330543
    Abstract: A system for image production in a KTV setting uses more than one display screen, a first screen for displaying a star MV and a song menu and a second screen for images of a singer as captured by cameras within the KTV setting. The system includes a capturing unit and a processing unit. The capturing unit captures images of the singer. The processing unit produces a singer MV according to the images of the single or plurality of singers, which can be enhanced with special effects, and displays the singer MV on the second screen.

  • Publication number: 20160350428
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for utilizing user behavior to immediately modify sets of search results so that the most relevant documents are moved to the top. In one embodiment of the invention, behavior data, which can come from virtually any activity, is used to infer the user's intent. The updated inferred implicit user model is then exploited immediately by re-ranking the set of matched documents and advertisements to best reflect the information need of the user. The system updates the user model and immediately re-ranks documents and advertisements at every opportunity in order to constantly provide the most optimal results. In another embodiment, the system determines, based on the similarity of results sets, if the current query belongs in the same information session as one or more previous queries. If so, the current query is expanded with additional keywords in order to improve the targeting of the results.

  • Patent number: 8933302
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the isolation of Jatropha curcas curcin genes and tissue-specific promoters and to the production of curcin-deficient Jatropha plants. More specifically, the present invention relates to the isolation of Jatropha curcas Curcin 1, Curcin 2 and Curcin 2 A. The present invention further relates to of the Curcin 1, Curcin 2 A and Curcin 2 genes and more particularly to tissue specific promoters of the Curcin 1 and Curcin 2A genes. The present invention further relates to production of curcin-deficient transgenic jatropha plants by using RNAi technology to suppress curcin gene expression.

  • Patent number: 5204073
    Abstract: This invention relates to a method for toxicity comprehensive elimination of chrome residues, comprising adding water to chrome residues, wet-grinding the same to a thick liquid, letting it react with dilute hydrochloric acid, and letting the filtrate obtained react with an additive containing barium, with sulfuric acid or magnesium sulfate, and with cream of lime or soda, so as to realize a comprehensive extraction and utilization of various elements. The hydrochloric acids can be circulated, and the filter residues can be used for iron-smelting and brick-making. By means of this method, it is possible not only to completely and permanently eliminate the toxicity of the residues, but also to realize a comprehehsive utilization of the residue resources.
