Abstract: An ultra-thin light guide assembly includes a light guide having a maximum thickness of one millimeter, a light source disposed adjacent a portion of the light guide to emit light rays into the light guide, a reflective material disposed on at least a portion of a first side of the light guide to maximize an internal reflection of the light rays in the light guide, a light extraction feature integrated with the light guide to direct light rays through a second side of the light guide, and a flexible circuit disposed adjacent at least a portion of the light guide, the light source in electrical communication with the flexible circuit to selective energize the light source.

Abstract: A facility for rewarding the provision of useful item reviews is described. The facility receives a plurality of item reviews, each from a source. The facility publishes each of the plurality of received item reviews, and assesses the usefulness of the published item reviews. Based upon this assessment of usefulness, the facility selects one or more of the published item reviews, and provides rewards to the sources of these selected item reviews.

Abstract: A system and method of managing media content is disclosed. In one embodiment, the method includes sending a request for a media content item from a user computer to a server via an interface to an online site. The method also includes receiving the media content item at the user computer. Further, the method includes selecting a library associated with a media content player application and, upon receipt of the media content item, automatically adding the media content item to the selected library of the media content player application at the user computer.

Abstract: A cursive character handwriting recognition system includes image processing means for processing an image of a handwritten word of one or more characters and classification means for determining an optimal string of one or more characters as composing the imaged word. The processing means segments the characters such that each character is made up of one or more segments and determines a sequence of the segments using an over-segmentation-relabeling algorithm. The system also includes feature extraction means for deriving a feature vector to represent feature information of one segment or a combination of several consecutive segments. The over-segmentation-relabeling algorithm places certain segments considered as diacritics or small segments so as to immediately precede or follow a segment of the associated main character body.

Abstract: A system and method of offering media content is disclosed. In one embodiment, the method includes receiving a selection of a disaggregated media content item from a user computer at a server via an online site that offers a catalog of items. The method also includes identifying a catalog item related to the selected disaggregated media content item. Further, the method includes displaying a detail interface via the online site, the detail interface including details related to the disaggregated media content item and a recommendation of the identified catalog item. A graphical user interface (GUI) is disclosed that includes a song-level detail page including a plurality of details related to an individual song available for download via an online site. The GUI includes at least one recommendation of at least one other item associated with a performer of the individual song, where the other item(s) are offered via the online site.

Abstract: A system and a method are provided to spray sugar in fibrous form and compress the same and subsequently add medication to form a dose appropriate for ingestion by a patient. Alternatively, the sprayed sugar in fibrous form may include the medication when sprayed. The sprayed sugar in fibrous form is advanced on a conveyor system and compressed into a stream. The compressed stream may have medication added thereto if not provided in the sprayed sugar in fibrous form. The stream may be combined with a second stream and then cut into individual, uniform doses of medication.
