Patent number: 10394881Abstract: Some implementations can include a computer-implemented method and/or system for automatic suggestions to share images containing people of importance to a user. The method can include determining, based on pixels of an image associated with a user account, one or more clusters associated with the image. The method can also include determining a share probability score for the image based on a probabilistic model and determining that the share probability score meets a threshold. The method can further include, in response to determining that the share probability score meets the threshold, providing a suggestion to a user associated with the user account to share the image.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2017Date of Patent: August 27, 2019Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Jason Chang, Catherine Wah, Loren Puchalla Fiore, Teresa Ko

Patent number: 10118487Abstract: The method, system, and computer-readable medium facilitates monitoring a vehicle operator during the course of vehicle operation to determine whether the vehicle operator is impaired (e.g., distracted, drowsy, intoxicated) and alerting the vehicle operator using a haptic alert delivered by a wearable computing device worn by the vehicle operator when impairment is detected. The method, system, and computer-readable medium may monitor the vehicle operator, the environment surrounding the vehicle, and/or forces acting on the vehicle using a variety of sensors, including optical sensors or accelerometers. In particular, optical sensors may monitor the vehicle operator to detect eye blinks, head nods, head rotations, and/or gaze fixation. Optical sensors may also monitor the road ahead of the vehicle to detect lane deviation, lane centering, and time to collision. Accelerometers may detect acceleration in the direction of vehicle travel and/or lateral acceleration.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2016Date of Patent: November 6, 2018Assignee: STATE FARM MUTUAL AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE COMPANYInventors: Matthew Eric Riley, Sr., Gregory Dwayne Carter, James M.

Patent number: 10046444Abstract: A tool includes a first body, a rotary member, a positioning unit and an engaging unit. By the positioning unit and the engaging unit, the rotary member is positioned relative to the first body with dual-positioning feature. When the first body is rotated, the rotary member is positioned by the positioning unit and the engaging unit. The rotary member is not likely to freely rotate because both of the positioning unit and the engaging unit fail when using the tool.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2016Date of Patent: August 14, 2018Inventor: Jason Chang

Patent number: 10025714Abstract: A computer system includes a dual in-line memory module (DIMM), such as a registered DIMM (RDIMM), and a non-volatile DIMM (NVDIMM). A central processing unit (CPU) of the computer system has internal cache memory locations for caching data for the DIMM and NVDIMM. A memory type range register (MTTR) of the CPU is set for write-back cache strategy for a range of memory locations in the DIMM and NVDIMM. The computer system includes a power supply that, in the event of a power failure, triggers a hardware non-maskable interrupt (NMI) and sustains power to the CPU to allow cached data to be saved to non-volatile memory locations in the NVDIMM before the computer system completely powers down.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2016Date of Patent: July 17, 2018Assignee: Super Micro Computer, Inc.Inventors: Donald Han, John Chen, Jason Chang

Patent number: 9864901Abstract: Implementations relate to image feature detection and masking in images based on color distributions. In some implementations, a computer-implemented method to determine a mask for an image includes determining a spatial function for a detected feature depicted in the image, the function indicating pixels of the image relative to an estimated feature boundary. A respective color likelihood distribution is determined for each of multiple regions of the image based on one or more distributions of color values in the regions, including a feature region and a non-feature region. A confidence mask is determined based on the spatial function and one or more of the color likelihood distributions. The confidence mask indicates, for each of multiple pixels of the image, an associated confidence that the pixel is a feature pixel. A modification is applied to pixels in the image using the confidence mask.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2015Date of Patent: January 9, 2018Assignee: Google LLCInventor: Jason Chang
