Abstract: A method for extracting key phrases based on extracting both informative and readable phrases from documents. The method includes separating documents into sentences to extract sentence-level phrases and separating the documents into segments of a fixed length to extract segment-level phrases. The method further includes using a PMI and entropy model to also extract readable phrases from the documents. The method includes comparing the sentence-level phrases, the segment-level phrases, and the readable phrases to generate key phrases for the documents.

Abstract: Provided herein are antibodies that bind signal regulatory protein SIRP? and methods of making and using such antibodies. In some embodiments, the antibodies comprise an Fc, and are useful for preferential depletion of certain SIRP? expressing cells. In some embodiments, the antibodies provided herein are useful for treating a disease or condition associated with the dysregulation of cells (e.g. overactivation or aberrant proliferation of T-cells).

Abstract: The present invention comprises a system and a computer-implemented method designed for measuring the visible colon surface area that has been seen from a colonoscope, and for displaying the results of the measurement. The method estimates the orientation of the camera of the colonoscope, estimates the travel distance of the scope camera from the axial vector lengths coming from or headed towards the focus of expansion point, and visualizing the percentage of the visible surface of the entire colon.

Abstract: Described is a computing system comprising: a quantum computer comprising a quantum computer controller; and one or more quantum processors; and a classical computer comprising: a memory storing machine-readable instructions; and a processor for executing the machine-readable instructions. When the processor executes the machine-readable instructions, it configures the classical computer to model a physical system; and to implement the steps in said computing system of: transforming a plurality of non-linear equations into differential equations whose non-linear terms are defined by polynomials; encoding the polynomials as probability amplitudes of a quantum state of a quantum system; evolving the quantum system into a new quantum system comprising message qubits and at least one ancilla qubit; and utilizing a quantum iterative optimization algorithm to solve the plurality of differential equations.

Abstract: Pneumonia due to the fungus Pneumocystis jirovecii is a life-threatening infection that occurs in immunocompromised patients. The inability to culture the organism as well as the lack of a sequenced genome has hindered antigen discovery that could be useful in developing effective vaccines, therapeutic antibodies and diagnostic methods. A method of surface proteomics of Pneumocystis murina that reliably detects surface proteins that are conserved in Pneumocystis jirovecii is described. In particular, eight identified P. murina surface proteins are described. Methods of eliciting immune responses against the identified proteins, generating therapeutic antibodies against the identified proteins, as well as diagnostic methods based on the identified peptides are described.

Abstract: Techniques describe submitting a video clip as a query by a user. A process retrieves images and information associated with the images in response to the query. The process decomposes the video clip into a sequence of frames to extract the features in a frame and to quantize the extracted features into descriptive words. The process further tracks the extracted features as points in the frame, a first set of points to correspond to a second set of points in consecutive frames to construct a sequence of points. Then the process identifies the points that satisfy criteria of being stable points and being centrally located in the frame to represent the video clip as a bag of descriptive words for searching for images and information related to the video clip.

Abstract: Provided are a pan-tilt video camera and a linkage camera having the pan-tilt video camera. The pan-tilt video camera includes a video camera, a pan and tilt head, a pan-tilt holder and a reflector arranged on the pan-tilt holder. An optical axis of the camera is collinear with a center of the reflector; the pan and tilt head is used for receiving moving object information, and driving, according to the moving object information, the reflector to rotate; and the camera is used for shooting a moving object reflected by the reflector. By adopting the solution provided in the present application, the response speed of rotation can be improved, thereby performing fast-tracking and shooting on a fast moving target.

Abstract: A surface protein of the murine fungal pathogen Pneumocystis murina can be used to generate an immune response in a recipient animal or human that provides prophylactic protection and an anti-fungal activity in subjects already infected with a Pneumocystis species. Further, the disclosure provides novel polypeptides or peptides derived from the P. murina surface protein Surface Peptidase 1 (SPD-1) that are useful, alone or in combination with the SPD-1 polypeptide, in compositions and methods for the generation of an anti-Pneumocystis immune reaction by a recipient subject. The compositions and methods of the disclosure provide advantageous alternatives to available immunogenic determinants for the treatment or prevention of fungal pneumonia.

Abstract: A photovoltaic-thermoelectric hybrid device is disclosed, which comprises a bi-layer silicon substrate, an electrode unit having a first electrode and a second electrode disposed on and connected to the bi-layer silicon substrate, and an external circuit connecting to the electrode unit, in which an electric current is set up between the first electrode and the second electrode and flows through the bi-layer silicon substrate as the first electrode is either heated or illuminated more than the second electrode.

Abstract: Described herein is a dental filler material having a core made of a core material and a shell made of a shell material, where the shell material coats or covers at least a portion of the core.

Abstract: A reminding apparatus includes: a reminding module, configured to determine reminding time of the reminding apparatus and a reminding event corresponding to the reminding time, and trigger the reminding event when the reminding time is up; a background miming module, configured to indicate an operation system of the data processing device to trigger the reminding apparatus to enter a background running state after detecting a switch instruction; a battery level checking module, configured to check battery level of the data processing device when the reminding apparatus runs in the background; and a battery level protecting module, configured to write a local notification into the operation system when the battery level is lower than a predefined threshold, set triggering time of the local notification as the reminding time, and trigger the reminding apparatus to enter a pending state. The local notification can be triggered automatically by the operation system.

Abstract: A system of video stream transitioning includes an interface and a video stream transitioner. The interface is to receive an indication for changing from a current video stream to a target video stream. The video stream transitioner is to determine key frame information in the target video stream; determine a specific key frame to switch to; and provide a request for target video stream starting at the specific key frame.
