Abstract: Example implementations described herein are directed to systems and methods for document capture, which can involve detecting, from a plurality of frames of a recording of an application window that comprises a document, document content of the document and screen activity of the application window; and generating a web-based copy of the document based on the document content and the screen activity. Further example implementations can involve recording screen activity such as mouse cursors, text annotations, scrolling actions and other activity, and then providing an application layer to replay the screen activity onto the captured document.

Abstract: A system for relieving stress on a turbine rotor blade dovetail in a gas turbine is provided. At least one turbine rotor blade includes a dovetail that is axially insertable into a correspondingly-shaped slot defined in a turbine disk. At least one axially-extending tang is defined on the dovetail. At least one stress relief surface is defined in the at least one tang. The at least one stress relief surface extends along a central portion of a length of the tang. Accordingly, contact between the at least one tang and an inner surface of the slot is precluded, along the central portion, such that stresses generated by radially-directed forces along the central portion are reduced.

Abstract: Method, apparatus and system for improving navigation using mobile devices by adding previously captured media to navigation maps provided by mobile device. Added media include still images and video clips. Media captured at the same location using various camera orientations are available in an image database. Images in database include metadata indicating location, orientation and other parameters associated with each image. User location and pose are matched against metadata indicating location and camera orientation of captured images. User motion may also be matched to metadata indicating camera motion of stored video clips. Other parameters like lighting, seasonal factors, and tasks of walking, biking or driving may also be matched. User pose may be derived from an accelerometer embedded in the mobile device. Some or all of user parameters desired by user may be directly input to mobile device by user instead of being automatically detected by mobile device.

Abstract: Systems and methods of performing a process are provided, including receiving a live document video stream of a remote collaboration session, detecting a cursor action in the live document video stream, classifying the detected cursor action into an action category, detecting key frames of the live document video stream, indexing the detected key frames based on the action category, detecting a keyword in the indexed key frames, indexing the key frames using the category, visualizing the cursor action in the key frames based on the action category, and displaying the visualized cursor action.

Abstract: Compounds and methods for treating diseases mediated by a P2X3 and/or a P2X2/3 receptor antagonist, the methods comprising administering to a subject in need thereof an effective amount of a compound of formula (I): or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate or prodrug thereof, wherein X is O, D, Y, R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, R7 and R8 are as defined herein.

Abstract: A post includes a hollow elongate tubular pipe. The post has an open upper end and an open lower end. The post has an upper portion and a lower ground engaging portion joined to one another. The upper portion is adapted to predominately extend above the ground and the lower ground engaging portion is adapted to be fully inserted into the ground. The upper portion and the lower ground engaging portion are separated by a protruding region immediately adjacent to where the upper portion and lower ground engaging portion join together.
