  • Patent number: 9715630
    Abstract: A method of searching an image, which is disclosed in the present invention, includes selecting a first timing and a second timing to generate a first period, obtaining a plurality of first images from a first video streaming within the first period, and setting a second period according to at least one first image so as to obtain a plurality of second images from the first video streaming within the second period. The method of searching the image further includes simultaneously displaying a plurality of third image from a second video streaming within the second period, enlarging a selected image of the second images or the third images, and simultaneously enlarging another image that is captured at the same time as the time when the enlarging selected image is captured. The two enlarging images respectively belong to the first video streaming and the second video streaming.

  • Patent number: 9614211
    Abstract: Provided is a lithium ion battery including a battery can, a battery core received in the battery can, electrolyte filled in the battery can, and a battery cover assembled to the battery can. The battery can or the battery cover is provided with a pressure relief valve, and the pressure relief valve is coupled with a mesh cover defining a number of through holes therein. According to the present invention, when thermal runaway occurs to the lithium ion battery, the pressure relief valve breaks timely. Only gases and electrolyte vapor can pass through the mesh cover. Solid particles cannot pass through the mesh cover. Therefore, ignition of the flammable gases, the electrolyte vapor and the high temperature solid particles in the surrounding air afar from the pressure relief valve is avoided and the safety performance of the lithium ion battery can be improved remarkably.

  • Patent number: 9336316
    Abstract: Architecture that includes a junk (unwanted) image detection algorithm which performs junk image detection of unwanted images before the images are actually downloaded for indexing. Features are employed related to image location information and host websites, such as image path descriptor (e.g., URL-uniform resource locator) pattern features, webpage content features, click features, and image aggregated information in a machine learning based framework to predict the probability that an image is unwanted (or wanted) before the images are downloaded. The framework is then applied to build a statistical model and predict junk scores. By removing image URLs marked as “junk” from the work list of an automated indexer (e.g., crawler), the indexer bandwidth is significantly improved with a corresponding improvement in the publish rate.

  • Publication number: 20150232926
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a set of biomarkers, microarrays that provide for detection thereof, an expression signature comprising 16 genes or a subset thereof, and the use thereof in determining the regulation status of IL-6/STAT3 signaling pathway in a cell sample or subject, as well as compositions for the detection thereof. The regulation status of IL-6/STAT3 signaling pathway in a cell sample or subject may be assayed based on the level of expression of one or more of these genes. The methods and compositions provided herein may be used to evaluate IL-6/STAT3 pathway regulation status in a sample; classify a cell sample as having a deregulated or regulated IL-6/STAT3 signaling pathway; determine whether an agent modulates the IL-6/STAT3 signaling pathway; predict the response of a subject to an agent that modulates the IL-6/STAT3 signaling pathway; assign treatment to a subject; and/or evaluate the pharmacodynamic effects of therapies designed to regulate IL-6/STAT3 pathway signaling.

  • Patent number: 9070046
    Abstract: Architecture that performs image page index selection. A learning-based framework learns a statistical model based on the hyperlink (URL-uniform resource locator) previous click information obtained from the image search users. The learned model can combine the features of a newly discovered URL to predict the possibility of the newly-discovered URL being clicked in the future image search. In addition to existing web index selection features, image clicks are added as features, and the image clicks are aggregated over different URL segments, as well as the site modeling pattern trees to reduce the sparse problem of the image click information.

  • Patent number: 8873845
    Abstract: Dominant color names may be extracted from an image by analyzing spatial-context of pixels contained in the image. A dominant color region may be defined by taking a double-threshold approach that addresses ambiguous color regions and a degree of confidence that each pixel belongs in the dominant color region. Affiliation maps and binary maps may be used to generate the dominant color region. Images may be converted to a saliency map, from which a region of interest may be assigned a dominant color name. Image search results may be filtered by the dominant color name associated with the image.
