  • Patent number: 11829448
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method and apparatus for processing astronomical survey data. The method comprises: a data distribution step: delivering a spectral data file to be processed to a distributed file system, dividing the spectral data file into a plurality of data blocks, and distributing the data blocks to computing nodes; a data computing step: performing a spectral classification of spectra to be measured in the data blocks, with a template matching method; the data computing step comprises: reading template spectra, and extracting template universal operators; reading the spectra to be measured; performing spectral matching, and computing Chi-square error values for flow rate values of the template spectra multiplied by the polynomial and flow rate values of the spectra to be measured; and finding corresponding minimum Chi-square error and corresponding redshift for each of the template spectra, so as to determine classifications of the spectra to be measured.

  • Patent number: 10236638
    Abstract: An electrical connector includes an insulative housing having a base and a tongue, an upper and lower rows of contacts mounted in the insulative housing and exposed upon the tongue and a pair of grounding pieces separated from each other and retained in the insulative housing between the two rows of contacts. Each grounding piece includes a securing portion disposed in the mating tongue and defines an abutment exposed upon corresponding side face of the mating tongue. The pair of grounding pieces are far away from corresponding power contacts along the transverse direction thereby resulting that the grounding pieces are wholly offset from the power contacts in the vertical direction so as to avoid the power contacts from electrical sparkle.

  • Patent number: 9871317
    Abstract: An electrical connector includes an insulative housing, a number of terminals retained in the insulative housing, a shielding shell attached to the insulative housing, and an insulator insert-molded with a rear end of the shielding shell. The terminals have a number of soldering portions extending out of a rear surface of the insulative housing. The shielding shell has a tail portion located at a rear end thereof. The insulator at least wraps partly an external surface of the tail portion to seal up a rear end of the insulative housing and extend the soldering portions of the terminals through the insulator to expose a rear surface thereof.

  • Patent number: 9430478
    Abstract: Anchor images and information associated therewith are accumulated during a Web crawling operation. One or more rules are applied to the accumulated candidate anchor images to filter out candidate anchor images that are not appropriate for use as the anchor image for a particular target video. The remaining candidate anchor image is then selected as the anchor image for the particular video.

  • Patent number: 8645354
    Abstract: Video entity templates defining common features that relate to various metadata types shared among a group of video Web pages are generated for target Web sites. Metadata associated with videos contained within Web pages belonging to a particular target Web site can then be automatically and accurately extracted using a video entity template generated for the particular target Web site. This metadata can then be indexed for use by video search applications in providing video search results.

  • Patent number: 8606780
    Abstract: Search queries for images are received from users. An original order of responsive images to the query is determined. Duplicate images and words associated with the duplicate images are identified for each of the responsive images. Common words associated with the duplicate images are identified. The responsive images are annotated with the common words and an annotated order is determined. A re-ranked order is determined based on the original order and the annotated order. Responsive images are presented to the user in the re-ranked order.

  • Patent number: 8473574
    Abstract: A classifier may be integrated into a pipeline of a general web crawler. The classifier may classify crawled webpages as either video pages or non-video pages. Video pages and information regarding domain importance may be aggregated. Ones of the domains of the video pages may be selected based on domain importance rankings. Webpages of the selected domains may be randomly sampled. The sampled webpages may be structurally analyzed and hint information may be generated with respect to each of the selected domains. The hint information may guide a deep crawling operation for discovering all video pages within the selected domains. Video links within the video pages may be found, one or more videos may be downloaded, and one or more representations of the one or more videos may be indexed.
