Abstract: Systems and methods for object-based content recommendation are described. A camera feed comprising a plurality of image frames is caused to be displayed at a client device. An object is detected within an image frame from the camera feed, the object corresponding with an object category. Responsive to detecting the object, an icon associated with the object category is selected and displayed at a position upon the camera feed. The icon corresponds with a media collection related to the object category. An input is received selecting the icon. Responsive to the input, a presentation of media items from the media collection is displayed at the client device. By detecting real-world objects and surfacing relevant virtual icons that link to associated media, an augmented reality experience is provided allowing virtual content to be overlaid and anchored to objects in reality.

Abstract: Techniques for image-based search using touch controls are described. An apparatus may comprise: a processor circuit; a gesture component operative on the processor circuit to receive gesture information from a touch-sensitive screen displaying an image and generate a selection area corresponding to the gesture information; a capture component operative on the processor circuit to extract an image portion of the image corresponding to the selection area; and a search component operative on the processor circuit to perform an image-based search using the extracted image portion. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: Metal object detection may be performed in a wireless power system by monitoring the 5th or other order harmonic current of a dual-frequency power transmitter driven by a voltage-fed inverter with square-wave output. While power transfer is maintained by tuning at the fundamental frequency, the transmitter circuit is tuned simultaneously at the 5th order frequency or other harmonic frequencies to increase or decrease the flow of the harmonic current for when a metal object is present. The receiver circuit may include a notch filter to filter out the 5th order frequency. With the dual-frequency tuning configuration, the presence of a metal object causes a significant drop of the increase in the harmonic current at the transmitter side while the receiver behaves as an open circuit with no effect on power transfer. The harmonic tuning circuit may be switched off as necessary to leave only the fundamental frequency for power transfer.

Abstract: A literary recommendation engine is used to receive an object of interest to a user and make a recommendation based on the received object. For example, a user may provide a name of a book or author and receive a list of recommendations that a services determines to be responsive to the user's interests based on a profile for the “seed” book (or author) and/or the user profile.

Abstract: Described are granules composed at least of a substantial amount of ibuprofen, at least one pharmaceutically-acceptable super disintegrant, and at least one pharmaceutically-acceptable binder different from the super disintegrant(s), the super disintegrant(s) being substantially uniformly dispersed throughout the granules. The methods for preparing such granules are described. The granules are useful in forming solid dosage forms such as filled capsules or compressed solid dosage forms.

Abstract: Concentrated pourable potassium ibuprofen liquid compositions and their preparation are described. They are comprised of (i) potassium ibuprofen, (ii) water; and (iii) methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, 2-propanol, 1,1-dimethylethanol, or a mixture of any two or more of them. The amount of dissolved potassium ibuprofen in the composition is in the range of about 60 to about 90 wt %. These compositions are suitable for use in the preparation of pharmaceutical dosage forms such as liquid-filled soft gelatin capsules, syrups, elixirs, suspensions; solid dosage forms such as tablets or caplets; and topically-applied products such as lotions, creams or ointments.
