Abstract: A gamified application is provided for users to feed animated virtual characters with images of real-world food items. The images fed to the virtual characters are to be uploaded to a data store in a cloud environment, for use in training a custom machine learning model. A server in the cloud environment receives a photo of a food item fed to a virtual character in an augmented reality environment in the gamified application executing on a user device, invokes the custom machine learning model to generate classification information for the photo, sends the classification information to the user device for verification by a user, and stores the verified information to the data store used for periodically training the machine learning model. Over time, the data store would include a large volume of food images with label data verified by a large number of users.

Abstract: Managing an image storage space is provided. A number of processor units identifies a benchmark image in a similar images group. A number of other images not identified in the similar images group as the benchmark image is a set of similar images. The number of processor units creates an image mapping tree. The image mapping tree has a root block for the benchmark image and blocks arranged in a set of layers below the root block based on the set of similar images; the blocks represent portions of the benchmark image; and a plurality of lower blocks in the blocks in a lower layer correspond to subdivisions in an upper block in the blocks in an upper layer. The number of processor units stores a set of selected blocks in the set of similar images that have differences from a set of corresponding blocks in image mapping tree for the benchmark image.

Abstract: An oil bearing structure of a fan includes a shaft seat, a rotating shaft, and an oil bearing. The shaft seat includes a boss. A middle portion of the boss defines a slot. One end of the rotating shaft is inserted into the slot. Another end of the rotating shaft is a free end. The oil bearing is sleeved on an outer periphery of the rotating shaft. An axis of the rotating shaft and an axis of the oil bearing are perpendicular to the shaft seat. An effective length of the oil bearing and the rotating shaft is 50%-70% of a length of the fan.

Abstract: The present invention relates to solid forms of a substituted benzoxaborole compound, specifically crystalline forms of a compound of formula I, compositions comprising crystalline forms of the compound of formula (I), and methods of their use.

Abstract: A video is received. One or more subtitles are determined for the video. Whether a word found in a background of the video is similar to a word found in the one or more subtitles is determined. Responsive to determining the word found in the background of the video is similar to the word found in the one or more subtitles, one or more updated subtitles are generated. The one or more updated subtitles include the word found in the background of the video and remove the word found in the one or more subtitles that is similar. A metric for the one or more updated subtitles is calculated. Whether the metric is larger than a threshold is determined. Responsive to determining the metric is larger than the threshold, the video is updated to include the one or more updated subtitles.

Abstract: The present invention provides oxaborole ester compounds and compositions thereof which are useful to treat diseases associated with parasites, such as Chagas Disease and African Animal Trypanosomosis.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for radiotherapy planning. The systems may obtain a delineation of a region of interest (ROI) in an image of an object. The ROI may include at least one target region. The systems may obtain modified delineation of the ROI based on one or more modifications to the delineation of the ROI. The systems may determine a target radiotherapy plan of the object by performing a radiotherapy dose optimization on the ROI. The modifications of the delineation of the ROI and the radiotherapy dose optimization of the ROI may be performed at least partially overlap temporally.

Abstract: A cooling fan creating a more stable airflow for heat-removing purposes, with reduced noise of operation, comprises a rotor hub and preferably an odd number of blades mounted on periphery of the rotor hub in unequal intervals. Adjacent blades are configured with different shapes, reducing the noise generated during operation without affecting the cooling effect.

Abstract: Provided herein are energy absorbing composites including a thermoplastic resin, a dilatant, a compatibilizer, a reinforcing filler, and optionally an antioxidant and methods of preparation thereof.

Abstract: Disclosed is a sludge three-dimensional electroosmosis drainage reinforcing method based on a novel electric geotextile complex, and belongs to the field of soft soil foundation reinforcement. A novel electric geotextile complex is adopted, and a designed multidirectional three-dimensional continuous electroosmosis drainage method is adopted to perform rapid drainage reinforcement treatment on sludge, wherein the electric geotextile complex is prepared by combining fibers and conductive materials with a flexible drainage plate and has the effects of electric conductive, drainage, corrosion resistance and reinforcement. The proposed drainage method can realize the electroosmotic drainage in vertical and horizontal directions. Through layer by layer electroosmosis from bottom to top, the consolidation drainage effect of sludge in the lower layer can be enhanced by the increasing loading pressure from the upper sludge.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to processing irregularly arranged characters. An image is received. An irregularly arranged character within the image is detected. A direction of the irregularly arranged character is modified to a proper direction to obtain a properly oriented character. The properly oriented character is recognized to obtain a first identified character. The image is then rebuilt by replacing the irregularly arranged character with the first identified character, the first identified character in a machine-encoded format.
