Patent number: 9142000Abstract: A content recognition system operates in conjunction with a media hosting service to identify hosted media content and ownership rights associated with the hosted content. By applying melody recognition, the content recognition system can identify compositions embodied in hosted media content even when these compositions do not precisely match any known sound recording. Thus, the content recognition system is beneficially able to detect, for example, recorded cover performances and recorded live performances embodied in hosted media content. Once identified, ownership information is determined and the media hosting service can carry out appropriate rights management policies associated with the content such as monetizing or blocking the protected content.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2013Date of Patent: September 22, 2015Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: David G. King, George Salem, Yiling Su Wang, Matthew Wiseman

Publication number: 20070088175Abstract: A process for reacting in a fluid bed reactor at least one oxidisable reactant with molecular oxygen in the presence of a catalytically active fluidised bed of solid particles. In the process a molecular oxygen-containing gas having an oxygen concentration greater than that of air is introduced into the fluidised bed whilst the fluidised bed is maintained in a turbulent regime. The process is suitable for oxidation, ammoxidation and carboxylation processes, including the production of maleic anhydride, acrylonitrile, ethylene, acetic acid and vinyl acetate.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 3, 2006Publication date: April 19, 2007Applicant: BP Chemicals LimitedInventors: Michele Fiorentino, David Newton, George Salem, Bruce Williams

Patent number: 5882201Abstract: A dental debridement tool is provided for use with a rotary dental handpiece to remove a surface contaminant from a surface of a tooth. The tool includes a shaft extending along an axis and having a proximal end and a distal end. The proximal end is sized and shaped for connection to the rotary dental handpiece. The tool also includes an operative tip being carried at the distal end of the shaft. The operative tip has a length parallel to the axis. The length is at most 8.0 millimeters and the operative tip is no wider than 4.0 millimeters at any point along the length. The operative tip is operably compressible during removal of the surface contaminant and includes an abrasive composition of matter. The abrasive composition may include polystyrene, polyethylene, polyester, acrylic, or silicone. An abrasive powder may be included in the abrasive composition. The abrasive powder may include pumice, mica, diamond, talc, aluminum oxide, tin oxide, silicone oxide, or a ceramic material.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 1997Date of Patent: March 16, 1999Inventor: George Salem
