Abstract: A method that includes collecting, by a computer, social network posts by social network friends of a user containing images. The method further includes identifying, by the computer, images within the social network posts containing the user through facial image recognition based on an image of the user in a user social network profile and determining, by the computer, information from the identified images containing the user within the social network posts for inclusion in the user social network profile. The method may further include updating, by the computer, the profile information of the user social network profile to include the information from the identified images containing the user within the social network posts.

Abstract: A rotary tool assembly includes a rotary tool having a body with a working end and a rear end, a motor disposed within the body, and a drive shaft rotatably driven by the motor. A base of the rotary tool assembly includes a battery receptacle configured to receive a battery pack and a stand for supporting the rotary tool when the rotary tool is not in use. The stand includes two arms defining a tool receptacle therebetween in which the rotary tool is supported. A power cord extends between the base and the rotary tool to transfer electric power from the base to the rotary tool to selectively power the motor. The battery pack is received in the battery receptacle for form a foot of the base.

Abstract: An encryption and decryption system is provided, which includes a transmitting device and a receiving device. The transmitting device is configured to store original images and a correspondence table. The receiving device is connected to the transmitting device for storing the correspondence table, wherein the transmitting device generates an encrypted string. The transmitting device selects a representative morphed image from multiple morphed images according to the encrypted string. The transmitting device transmits the representative morphed image to the receiving device and does not transmit the encrypted string to the receiving device. The receiving device recognizes the first original image serial number and the second original image serial number from the representative morphed image. The receiving device looks up the correspondence table according to the first original image serial number and the second original image serial number to generate the encrypted string.

Abstract: A method for selecting good quality images from raw images of a patterned substrate. The method includes obtaining a plurality of raw images (e.g., SEM images) of a patterned substrate; determining a raw image quality metric (e.g., an image score, an average slope, distance between contours) based on data associated with one or more gauges or one or more contours of one or more features within each image of the plurality of raw images, the raw image quality metric being indicative of a raw image quality; and selecting, based on the raw image quality metric, a sub-set of raw images from the plurality of raw images. The sub-set of raw images can be provided for performing more accurate measurements of the one or more features within an image.

Abstract: According to examples, an apparatus may include a processor and a memory on which are stored machine-readable instructions that when executed by the processor, may cause the processor to track traffic events and user interface (UI) events in parallel and record a first event of a hybrid test script. The first event may be recorded in a traffic mode to record one or more of the traffic events. The processor may transition from the traffic mode to a UI mode and, responsive to the transition from the traffic mode to the UI mode, may share session data between the traffic events and the UI events. Based on the session data, the processor may record a second event of the hybrid test script in the UI mode.

Abstract: In a method and device for extracting joint line of shoe, a contact end of a contouring tool is provided to contact a joint contour of a shoe sample, an encoder is provided to generate a plurality of first trajectory coordinate signals of the contact end while the contact end is moved along the joint contour, and a signal processor is provided to receive the first trajectory coordinate signals to create a digital joint line.

Abstract: A circuit design includes a flexible film, an electrode pattern, and a connecting circuit. The flexible film has a visible area and a bending area and includes an external conductive connection. The electrode pattern is disposed in the visible area of the flexible film. The connecting circuit is electrically connected to the electrode pattern and disposed in the bending area of the flexible film. The bending area has a first portion and a second portion. The first portion is located between the visible area and the second portion. A width of one end of the second portion connected to the first portion is smaller than a width of the first portion. The external conductive connection is electrically connected to the connecting circuit and located at another end of the second portion.
