Abstract: Foreground objects of interest are distinguished from a background model by dividing a region of interest of a video data image into a grid array of individual cells. Each of the cells are labeled as foreground if accumulated edge energy within the cell meets an edge energy threshold, or if color intensities for different colors within each cell differ by a color intensity differential threshold, or as a function of combinations of said determinations.

The first and second plurality of conductors are arranged in parallel along a second axis (i) perpendicular to the first axis and (ii) parallel to the plane on which the substrate lies. The first plurality of conductors respectively lie on a plurality of planes (i) perpendicular to the first axis and (ii) parallel to the plane on which the substrate lies. The second plurality of conductors respectively lie on the plurality of planes. Capacitances are formed along the plurality of planes between the first plurality of conductors and the second plurality of conductors.

Abstract: Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in males and one of the leading causes of cancer death. Although treatment options have increased for some patients, overall progress has been modest. Thus, there is a great need to develop new treatments. This invention relates to a method for treating cancer comprising using an anti-cancer compound of formula (I): More particularly, it relates to said anti-prostate cancer compound that can be isolated from Garcinia esculenta or chemically synthesized and its specific anticancer/antitumor activity. The invention has a specific application in treating human prostate cancer.

Abstract: In aspects of a low phase noise technique for use with a crystal oscillator, a bias control circuit sets a bias voltage on the gate of a first transistor needed to sink or source an amount of current corresponding to a sensed common mode signal. The sensed common mode signal is sensed with a common mode sense circuit that is coupled across two ports of the crystal oscillator, and current is provided by a current source. The bias voltage is set by a bias controller that uses a second transistor coupled to the common mode sense circuit and the first transistor.

Abstract: Cervical cancer is one of the most common malignancies and is associated with a dismal prognosis. The most common therapeutic option for cervical cancer consists of surgery in early stages, and chemotherapy or radiotherapy in more advanced stages of the disease. Although treatment options have increased for some patients, overall progress has been modest. This invention relates to a method for treating cancer comprising administering an anti-cancer compound. More particularly, the present invention relates to an anti-cervical-cancer compound for treating human cervical cancer and tumor.
