  • Patent number: 10445387
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for identifying and recommending electronic content to consumers. In accordance with an implementation, one or more elements of electronic content are identified based on video graph data. In an exemplary method, information associated with a first element of video content is received, and corresponding video graph data is obtained. One or more second elements of video content that are similar to the first element of video content are identified based on the obtained video graph data. A subset the first and second elements of video content is subsequently identified for delivery to the user.

  • Patent number: 9766260
    Abstract: A sensor device for contactlessly determining a revolution rate and a direction of rotation of a component that rotates during operation of the component, the component having, on at least one peripheral region, a circumferential structure of web-shaped or tooth-shaped radial protrusions and interposed grooves or tooth gaps includes: a threaded segment configured to positionally fix an arrangement of the sensor device so that the circumferential structure of the component is movable past the sensor device; a magnetic field generating device; and a magnetic field detecting device having at least three magnetic field sensors that are not arranged in alignment along a line. A distance between the magnetic field sensors that are the farthest apart from each other is less than or equal to a width of the grooves or tooth gaps of the component.

  • Patent number: 9641879
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for identifying and recommending electronic content to consumers. In accordance with an implementation, one or more elements of electronic content are associated to generate video graph data. In an exemplary method, information associated with first and second elements of video content is obtained and decomposed into corresponding first and second segments. A value indicative of an association between the first and second elements of video content is generated when the similarity measure satisfies at least one association rule.

  • Publication number: 20100088967
    Abstract: The invention relates to a sealing gate (1) for strips for sealing a first chamber (2) in relation to a second chamber (3), a strip (4), in particular a metal strip, passing through both chambers (2, 3) and at least one sealing element (5) being provided for sealing the chambers (2, 3). The aim of the invention is to achieve an effective sealing action. To achieve this, the sealing element (5) has at least two gate elements (6, 7, 8, 9) that can be displaced in relation to one another and that have at least one sealing surface (10, 11, 12, 13), which is adapted to the edge contour of the strip (4) to be sealed.

  • Publication number: 20060230011
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method is provided for searching for files on the Internet. In one embodiment, the method may provide an application crawler that assembles and dynamically instantiates all components of a web page. The instantiated web application may then be analyzed to locate desired components on the web page. This may involve finding and analyzing all clickable items in the application, driving the web application by injecting events, and extracting information from the application and writing it to a file or database.

  • Publication number: 20020144077
    Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided that enable a central processing unit (CPU) to extend the protection schemes afforded to virtual memory beyond that which an existing translation lookaside buffer within the CPU is capable providing while at the same time preserving compatibility with legacy operating system software. The apparatus includes a translation lookaside buffer (TLB) and extended protection logic. The translation lookaside buffer (TLB) stores a plurality of TLB entries, where each TLB entry of the plurality of TLB entries has a flags field and an extended flags field. The extended protection logic is coupled to the TLB. The extended protection logic specifies legacy access restrictions according to the flags field, and specifies the extended access restrictions according to the flags field in combination with the extended flags field. Specification of the legacy access restrictions preserves compatibility with a legacy virtual page access protocol.
