  • Publication number: 20230048393
    Abstract: Methods for recognizing thumbnails may include operations of receiving an identification of a thumbnail source for content, receiving the thumbnail, computing a hash value for the thumbnail, and associating the hash value with the thumbnail. Operations for content characterization may include launching an image analysis application, selecting a top level category to apply to a thumbnail, providing the thumbnail to the image analysis application, applying the selected top level category to the thumbnail to determine if the thumbnail satisfies the top level category, if satisfied, associating the top level category with the thumbnail, and repeating the one or more of the above operations with respect to a second category. Operations may include receiving an identification of a node to receive a thumbnail, obtaining a node selected category, receiving a proposed thumbnail to provide to the node, and determining if the proposed thumbnail has been previously recognized and categorized.

  • Publication number: 20080006640
    Abstract: A mop bucket that saves, water, cleaning liquid, time and effort includes a bottom, an outer wall inclined to facilitate stacking, and either a T-wall defining three compartments not in communication with each other or an X-wall defining four such compartments. The interior walls have an inverted ā€œVā€-shaped cross-section meeting at a rounded edge, the first leg and the second leg rotationally related by a highly acute angle to facilitate stacking. The method involves providing the bucket, placing cleaning liquid into the first clean compartment and fresh water into the one or two rinse compartment, dipping the mop in the cleaning liquid, washing the floor with the mop, and the repeated steps of rinsing the mop in the rinse compartments, draining the mop so that dirty water drains into the drain compartment, dipping the mop in the cleaning liquid, washing the floor with the mop.
