Abstract: A bucket funnel has a funnel body which clips onto a bucket with a top flange. The funnel body has a semicircular lower edge which has about the same radius of curvature as the bucket, but only extends about halfway around. There are outer tabs with inward facing channels at the ends of the lower edge of the funnel body to clip into the flange of the bucket. There is also a spring loaded release clip at about the middle of the lower edge to clip onto the outer flange of the bucket. An inner apron extends down from the lower edge of the funnel body to form a seal against the inner wall of the bucket. An interchangeable conical nozzle attaches to the funnel body for dispensing of fluids of various viscosities, such as glue, paint or fresh concrete.

Abstract: The invention relates to a system and a method for determination of a value for at least one parameter describing microbial activity of individual biological organisms in a liquid sample. Images, wherein individual biological organisms may be identified, are combined to provide optical sectionings of the biological organisms and the optical sectionings are analyzed to determine the value for said at least one parameter describing microbial activity of said individual biological organisms in each sample container.

Abstract: Computer-implemented methods and systems for automatically classifying businesses from imagery can include providing one or more images of a location entity as input to a statistical model that can be applied to each image. A plurality of classification labels for the location entity in the one or more images can be generated and provided as an output of the statistical model. The plurality of classification labels can be generated by selecting from an ontology that identifies predetermined relationships between location entities and categories associated with corresponding classification labels at multiple levels of granularity. Confidence scores for the plurality of classification labels can be generated to indicate a likelihood level that each generated classification label is accurate for its corresponding location entity. Associations based on the classification labels generated for each image can be stored in a database and used to help retrieve relevant business information requested by a user.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a method includes training a deep neural network using training images and data identifying one or more business storefront locations in the training images. The deep neural network outputs tight bounding boxes on each image. At the deep neural network, a first image may be received. The first image may be evaluated using the deep neural network. Bounding boxes may then be generated identifying business storefront locations in the first image.

Abstract: The invention relates to products, containing a solid biocide and a composite material (11) for the absorption of contaminants and the release of active ingredients as a composite preparation for the simultaneous, separate or programmed sequential application on sterilization and long-term conservation of a liquid (6) for purification. According to the invention, the activity of the solid biocide can be maintained by additionally treating the liquid (6) with the composite material (11), which absorbs (5.1, 5.2) from which the liquid and/or contaminants simultaneously releases active ingredients (13.1, 13.2) for sterilizing and/or reducing the contaminants (5.1, 5.2) in the liquid (6). The products and the method are particularly suitable for sterilizing and long-term conservation of water/oil emulsions which are contaminated by sulphur-containing compounds.

Abstract: A flame spray pyrolysis process for the preparation of ultrafine titania particles coated with a smooth, homogeneous coating of one or more metal oxides is provided. The metal oxide coating is achieved by contacting the titania particles with a metal oxide precursor downstream of the titania formation zone, after the titania particles have formed. The process provides titania particles with a high rutile content and a smooth and homogeneous coating of a metal oxide.
