Abstract: Architecture that addresses page information lost as part of a selection process in a search engine framework. An aggregation process collects all page or document information from the same image cluster and uses the aggregated page information to annotate one or more selected image-page pairs within the same image cluster. Once the entire set of descriptive terms is received, the entire set of descriptive terms or only an optimum set of top N descriptive terms of the entire set is for annotation of one or more of the representative images in the cluster.

Abstract: A processor within a networked distributed drafting platform generates a public key-value context file that includes initial default key-value mappings between keywords and values for use in a distributed drafting project. Refined project-level key-value mappings are elected by considering differences between the initial default key-value mappings and personal key-value mappings within a set of distributed personal key-value context files each maintained by different drafters of the distributed drafting project. The initial default key-value mappings of the public key-value context file are updated with the elected refined project-level key-value mappings within the networked distributed drafting platform.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a gaming system and method providing a plurality of different player-selectable wager alternatives if a credit balance of a player is less than a designated wager amount (such as a cost to cover a play of a wagering game or a maximum wager amount for the play of the wagering game) and greater than or equal to a lowest eligible credit balance (such as 1 credit). Generally, selecting one of the different wager alternatives when the player's remaining credit balance is less than the designated wager amount and greater than or equal to the lowest eligible wager amount enables the player to utilize the player's remaining credit balance (or any suitable portion thereof) in a manner that is different than, separate from, and in addition to wagering on one or more plays of the wagering game.

Abstract: A system and method for evaluating subjects using MRI and a contrast agent that overcomes the low sensitivity nature of previous detection methods is provided by using a 3D golden-angle-based radial sampling approach. In one configuration, direct detection of metabolic H217O generated from mitochondrial respiration may be imaged. Radial encoding allows for the use of ultra-short echo-time to compensate for signal loss due to the short T2 relaxation time of 17O and other contrast agents. In addition, the golden-ratio-based sampling scheme has the flexibility of enabling various undersampling schemes and retrospective selection of temporal resolution for dynamic imaging. A 3D radial sampling scheme may also give rise to additional SNR gain by further shortening the echo-time.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to example terminal unlocking methods. One example method includes controlling, by at least one processor of a terminal using an analog front end (AFE), a transmit electrode of the terminal to send a bioelectric current. A communications connection is established between the terminal and a band when a receive electrode receives the bioelectric current. The terminal then receives an unlocking password sent by the band and performs unlocking according to the unlocking password.

Abstract: A parallelized multiple dispatch ordered queue including an ordered queue, qualify logic, ordered select logic, and dispatch logic. The ordered queue stores candidates in order from oldest to youngest into multiple entries. The ordered queue is divided into N groups in which an i'th group includes every i'th entry of every N entries of the ordered queue, wherein i is an integer less than or equal to N. The qualify logic determines whether any candidate is ready to be dispatched. The ordered select logic respectively determines the oldest candidate in each group that is ready to be dispatched. The dispatch logic dispatches the oldest ready candidates in parallel. The shift logic shifts the stored candidates in the ordered queue to fill any vacant entries between remaining ones of the stored candidates without changing an order of the remaining ones of the stored candidates in the ordered queue. The ordered queue may have any size or depth and N is any suitable integer determining the number of candidates (e.g.
