Abstract: A feeding device includes a housing, a first conveying mechanism mounted on the housing, and a distribution mechanism. The housing forming a receptacle space includes a top surface defining a receiving opening communicated with the receptacle space. The distribution mechanism includes a slide platform slidably mounted on the top surface, a distribution member, and elastic members. The slide platform defines an unloading opening communicated with the receiving opening and a mounting groove adjacent to the unloading opening. The distribution member is movably mounted in the mounting groove. The elastic member elastically resists the distribution member to protrude out from the unloading opening. The stacked feeding trays resist the distribution member to move away from the unloading opening. When the top feeding tray is moved above the distribution member, the distribution member retracts by an elastic force to separate the top feeding tray from the stacked feeding trays located below.

Abstract: In this invention, the first refraction groove and the second refraction groove, which are located on two opposite ends of the reflection lens, are set on the same central axis. The said lens features a translucent shell and is of a horn-shaped appearance. The horn or cone-shaped mouth points from the first refraction groove to the second refraction groove. The outer surface is designed to have multiple reflection sections. When the LED light source is positioned at or in the first refraction groove, the light emitted from LED is refracted by the first refraction groove and then is sent out from the cone mouth at the second refraction groove. Meanwhile, the light which gets through the translucent lens shell is refracted by the multi-section reflection surface and then is also projected from the cone mouth.

Abstract: Co-selected images are labeled based on a topic score that is a measure of relevance of the co-selected image to a first topic to which a reference image belongs. The first topic to which the reference image belongs is identified based on a reference label associated with the reference image. The co-selected images are images that are selected for presentation subsequent to selection of the reference image during a user session. The co-selected images are identified based on selection data for user sessions in which the reference image was selected for presentation. The topic score is generated based on a frequency of selection of the co-selected image. Image search results for a second topic can be filtered to remove images that are labeled as belonging to the first topic or the image search results can be reordered to adjust the presentation positions at which images are referenced based on the topic to which the images belong.

In one embodiment, at least one angiogram frame is received and preprocessed. Bottom-up filtering of the preprocessed angiogram frame and top-down segmentation of the preprocessed angiogram frame are performed based on the results of the bottom-up filtering.

Abstract: A computer-implemented video analyzing method includes dividing a video into a plurality of sections. The similarity value of the first frame and the last frame of each section is greater than zero. A representative frame is selected from each section, and the similarity value of each two representative frames is computed. Two sections the similarity of whose representative frames is the greatest are combined into one section. The recording time of the first frame and the recording time of the last frame of each section is determined if the similarity value of representative frames of each two adjacent sections is zero.
