  • Publication number: 20190343126
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a formula or composition for use in reducing a honey bee parasitic mite infestation that may comprise, for example, a liquid, solid, or paste composition, comprising about 5-20% beta acids (about 5-75% by weight), about 5-75% by weight propylene glycol, about 5-75% by weight polysorbate 60, about 0.5- 35% of a thixotropic material, such as fumed silica, and/or about 0.5-5% pf an antioxidant, such as ascorbic acid, the composition is active against parasitic mites for more than about 14 days in the bee hives. Compositions of the present invention provide effective control, treatment, or prevention of honey bee parasitic mite infestation by inclusion of, for example, certain excipients that retard beta acid oxidation, prolong availability of active ingredient for bee uptake, improve convenience for beekeepers, or both retard beta acid oxidation and prolong the availability of active ingredient for bee uptake.

  • Patent number: 10431939
    Abstract: Over-voltage protection systems and methods are disclosed. In one aspect, a biasing circuit is added to a pre-existing clamp required by the Universal Serial Bus (USB) Type-C specification at a configuration control (CC) pin. The biasing circuit turns the pre-existing clamp into an adjustable clamp that dynamically adjusts to over-voltage conditions. In an exemplary aspect, the biasing circuit may include a biasing field effect transistor (FET) and a pair of switches that selectively couple the pre-existing clamp and the biasing FET to fixed voltages such that the CC pin is maintained at an acceptable voltage. In another exemplary aspect, the biasing circuit may omit the biasing FET and rely on two switches that selectively couple the pre-existing clamp to fixed voltages such that the CC pin is maintained at an acceptable voltage.

  • Patent number: 10423654
    Abstract: The overall architecture and details of a scalable video fingerprinting and identification system that is robust with respect to many classes of video distortions is described. In this system, a fingerprint for a piece of multimedia content is composed of a number of compact signatures, along with traversal hash signatures and associated metadata. Numerical descriptors are generated for features found in a multimedia clip, signatures are generated from these descriptors, and a reference signature database is constructed from these signatures. Query signatures are also generated for a query multimedia clip. These query signatures are searched against the reference database using a fast similarity search procedure, to produce a candidate list of matching signatures. This candidate list is further analyzed to find the most likely reference matches. Signature correlation is performed between the likely reference matches and the query clip to improve detection accuracy.
