  • Publication number: 20140236968
    Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure may include methods, systems, and computer readable media with executable instructions. An example method for determining document structure similarity can include segmenting path sequences (206) of Document Object Model (DOM) trees (120, 462) from a number of web pages (202) into B components (561). Path signals (210) corresponding to the path sequences (206) are determined based on a count of the occurrences of particular paths in the Bth component (571), and unique path signals (210) are transformed into discrete wavelet signals (214)(572). The discrete wavelet signals (214) are analyzed at multiple DOM tree resolution levels (573).

  • Patent number: 8662775
    Abstract: A cosmetic device includes a barrel, a first transmission unit, a dispensing unit, a cover and a second transmission unit. The first transmission unit is co-rotated with the collar by rotating the mounting member to move the piston downward. The cosmetic liquid in the first room in the barrel flows out from the outlet of the dispensing unit. The mounting member is rotatable in one direction relative to the barrel by the engagement of the ratchet teeth portion of the collar and the pawl of the barrel. The reception tube of the second transmission unit is rotated to co-rotate the collar to let the rod spirally move in the inner tube to protrude the lipstick.

  • Publication number: 20140014536
    Abstract: A biosensor that is capable of detecting the presence and/or concentration of an analyte or biomarker includes at least one electrically conductive electrode operatively coupled to an impedance analyzer for measuring the change in the resistive impedance ?ZRe of the electrode in response to an applied alternating current at a plurality of frequencies. In one embodiment, at least one electrode is covered with a self-assembled monolayer that is chemically bonded to a surface. A plurality of virus particles such as phage viruses are immobilized on the self-assembled monolayer and may be exposed to a test or sample solution. The virus particles may be obtained from phage-displayed libraries to detect a wide variety of targets including, for example, DNA, RNA, small molecules, and proteins or polypeptides. In another embodiment, the virus particles are electrostatically bound to a substrate in between a pair of elongated electrodes disposed on a substrate.

  • Publication number: 20140003033
    Abstract: An optical lens is adapted for used in a light source that has an optical axis, and includes a light-entering surface, a light-exiting surface, and a modified reflection surface. The light-entering surface has two first ends. The light-exiting surface defines a light-exiting surface profile that is concave toward the light source and that has two second ends. The modified reflection surface defines two modified reflection surface profiles. Each of the first ends is connected to a corresponding one of the second ends by a corresponding one of the modified reflection surface profiles. The modified reflection surface profiles are concave in the same direction as the light-exiting surface profile.

  • Patent number: 8523474
    Abstract: A liquid dispensing device with ratchet is provided with a container, a transmission assembly, a dispensing assembly, and a cap. A pulling of the cap away from the container bounces a carrier and unblocks an inlet opening. A further turning of the sleeve toward a predetermined direction co-rotates both the rotation ring and the externally threaded pipe to move the plunger toward bottom of the container along the externally threaded pipe in order to push the liquid to flow to the application head via the channel, the inlet opening, and the passage.

  • Patent number: 8481917
    Abstract: A system and a method for calibrating an ambient light sensor (ALS) are disclosed. The ALS, an adjustable resistor and a switch are located on a first surface of a printed circuit board (PCB), and the adjustable resistor and the switch are connected in series between an adjustable probe of the ALS and the ground. A resistor is connected between two pads located on a second surface of the PCB via two probes touching the pads. A controller connected to the PCB reads a light sensitivity of the ALS and calculates a calculated resistance value of the adjustable resistor by a formula “detected light sensitivity/resistance value of the resistor=objective light sensitivity/resistance value of the adjustable resistor”, wherein the objective light sensitivity and the resistance value of the resistor are given.

  • Publication number: 20130169621
    Abstract: An input 2D face image is uploaded from a client device with low computation ability to a web server with high computation ability. The web server is configured to provide a parametric model associated with the transformation of a specific facial attribute according to an input 2D face image received from the client device. The client device may thus perform real-time facial feature transformation efficiently.
