Patent number: 10586100Abstract: Extracting financial card information with relaxed alignment comprises a method to receive an image of a card, determine one or more edge finder zones in locations of the image, and identify lines in the one or more edge finder zones. The method further identifies one or more quadrilaterals formed by intersections of extrapolations of the identified lines, determines an aspect ratio of the one or more quadrilateral, and compares the determined aspect ratios of the quadrilateral to an expected aspect ratio. The method then identifies a quadrilateral that matches the expected aspect ratio and performs an optical character recognition algorithm on the rectified model. A similar method is performed on multiple cards in an image. The results of the analysis of each of the cards are compared to improve accuracy of the data.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2019Date of Patent: March 10, 2020Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Xiaohang Wang, Jeff Huber, Farhan Shamsi, Yakov Okshtein, Sanjiv Kumar, Henry Allan Rowley, Marcus Quintana Mitchell, Debra Lin Repenning

Patent number: 10550557Abstract: A toilet plunger and waste fracturing assembly includes a tube that has a first end and a second end and a longitudinal axis extending between the first and second ends. A cup is attached to the second end and is comprised of a resiliently flexible material and is used to force fluid down a toilet drain. A rod is positioned in the tube, extends outwardly of the second end and through an aperture in the cup. The rod has an interior end positioned within the tube and an exterior end positioned outside of the tube. The tube has an elongated slot therein extending through and along a perimeter wall of the tube. A grip extends through the slot and is attached to the internal end of the rod. The grip is movable along the slot to move the internal end toward or away from the second end of the tube.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2018Date of Patent: February 4, 2020Inventor: Jeff Huber

Publication number: 20170233269Abstract: A water treatment device (100) can include a chamber (104) having an inlet (108) to receive water contaminated with pathogens and an outlet (110) to dispense treated water. The water treatment device (100) can also include a catalytic element (130) disposed in the chamber (104) to deactivate the pathogens in the water via at least one of electrocatalytic activity and photocatalytic activity. The chamber (104) and/or the catalytic element (130) can be configured to mix the water as the water flows from the inlet (108) to the outlet (110) thereby exposing the pathogens in the water to the catalytic element (130).Type: ApplicationFiled: August 6, 2015Publication date: August 17, 2017Inventors: Swomitra Mohanty, Manoranjan Misra, Krista Carlson, Jeff Huber

Patent number: 8407927Abstract: Described is a locking stop mechanism for a riflescope that includes at least one rotatable reticle adjustment dial mounted on a scope body. It includes a stop member on the adjustment dial at a preselected position and a lock member on the scope body. The lock member is positioned to engage the stop member upon rotation of the adjustment dial to a preselected setting. The lock member is configured to prevent rotation of the adjustment dial in either direction when engaged with the stop member while allowing free rotation in at least one direction when the lock member is manually displaced and when the stop member is not engaged with the lock member at the preselected setting.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2011Date of Patent: April 2, 2013Assignee: Lightforce USA, Inc.Inventor: Jeff Huber

Patent number: 8104217Abstract: A riflescope high speed, coarse and fine adjustment assembly that includes a riflescope with an erector tube located inside a scope body. Formed on the scope body is a mounting surface with a lead screw slot located adjacent to the proximal end of the erector tube. Located over the mounting surface is an adjustment plate with a perpendicularly aligned post member located thereon. Located inside the post member is a threaded lead screw with threaded head that connects to the post member and a lower non-threaded neck that extends into a slot formed on the mounting surface. The adjustment plate is affixed along its front edge while the plate's opposite rear section is detached and free to move up or down. Disposed over the adjustment plate is a cover plate with a fine adjustment lever that selectively rises and lowers the rear edge of the cover plate. Attached to the cover plate is a detent plate. Attached over the detent plate is a coarse adjustment dial.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2009Date of Patent: January 31, 2012Assignee: Lightforce USA, Inc.Inventor: Jeff Huber
