Patent number: 11100073Abstract: The present teaching relates to methods, systems, and programming for data assignment in a distributed system. In one example, a plurality of tables is obtained. Each of the plurality of tables includes a plurality of buckets. Each of the plurality of tables is generated based on a same set of keys and a different function. The buckets in the plurality of tables are projected into different partitions. Data in the plurality of tables are assigned to a plurality of nodes in the distributed system such that data in buckets that are projected into a same partition are assigned to a same node in the distributed system.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2015Date of Patent: August 24, 2021Assignee: VERIZON MEDIA INC.Inventor: Jen-Hao Hsiao

Patent number: 10983149Abstract: An inrush current test device is adapted to receive an alternating current. The inrush current test device includes: a first isolation coupling component, a positive crossing point pulse generation circuit, an output circuit, and a control circuit. The first isolation coupling component includes a primary side and a secondary side, and is responsive to the alternating current on the primary side and conducts the secondary side. When the secondary side transits from an off state to an on state, the positive crossing point pulse generation circuit generates a positive crossing point pulse. When the control circuit is actuated and the positive crossing point pulse is detected, after delaying for a delay time, the control circuit outputs a control pulse for actuating the output circuit for a first operating time. The output circuit is configured to receive the alternating current and output the alternating current when the output circuit is actuated.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2019Date of Patent: April 20, 2021Assignee: CHICONY POWER TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD.Inventor: Jen-Hao Hsiao

Patent number: 10223727Abstract: Disclosed herein is item recommender that uses a model trained using a combination of at least visual item similarity training data and social activity training data. The model may be used, for example, to identify a set of recommended products having similar visual features as a given product. The set of recommended products may be presented to the user along with the given product. The model may be continuously updated using feedback from users to identify the features considered to be important to the users relative to other features.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2014Date of Patent: March 5, 2019Assignee: OATH INC.Inventors: Jen-Hao Hsiao, Nan Liu, Jia Li

Patent number: 9916418Abstract: Embodiments are directed to detecting and uploading measurement data of a non-connected medical measuring device. Embodiments include capturing an image of an identification object and a beginning event image of a medical measuring device and extracting identification data from the image of the identification object. Based on detecting that the identification object has been removed, an ending event image of the medical measuring device is captured. Embodiments include determining if a measurement event has occurred by comparing the ending event image and the beginning event image. Based on determining that the measurement event occurred, a measurement data of the ending event image is extracted and upload to a personal health record database.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2013Date of Patent: March 13, 2018Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Jen-Hao Hsiao, Ci-Wei Lan, Ya-Fan Yeh

Patent number: 9697442Abstract: In an embodiment, a method comprises obtaining a frequency domain representation associated with an image; obtaining one or more frequency domain representations of one or more object detection filters; generating a composite frequency domain representation based on the frequency domain representation associated with the image and the one or more frequency domain representations of the one or more object detection filters; and detecting one or more objects in the image based on the composite frequency domain representation. The frequency domain representation associated with the image may be obtained based on a forward transform performed on an image feature description. The image feature description may be obtained based on a feature extraction performed on the image. The one or more frequency domain representations of the one or more object detection filters may be obtained based on one or more Fourier transforms performed on the one or more object detection filters.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2016Date of Patent: July 4, 2017Assignee: Yahoo!
