A visual query is received from a client system, along with location information for the client system, and processed by a server system. The server system sends the visual query and the location information to a visual query search system, and receives from the visual query search system enhanced location information based on the visual query and the location information. The server system then sends a search query, including the enhanced location information, to a location-based search system. The search system receives and provides to the client one or more search results to the client system.

An apparatus for storing a chain of a chain saw includes a lower element and an upper element. The lower element includes at least one pair of pegs for receiving a chain. At least one peg of the at least one pair of pegs is moveably mounted with respect to the lower element. The upper element is pivotally coupled to the lower element for movement between an upper position and a lower position.

A debris containment system for use with a litter box for containing litter tracked from the litter box by an animal's paws includes a collection pan for collecting the litter. The collection pan is formed to include a funnel portion to facilitate quick and easy disposal of the litter. Preferably, the litter containment system also includes a grid member which cooperates with the collection pan to extract debris which is otherwise trapped between the paws of the animal. Further in the preferred embodiment, the collection pan is constructed of a flexible rubber and can be folded about a centerline when litter is being emptied therefrom.

A method and apparatus for surfacing content during a photo sharing process is described. The method may include detecting the initiation of a social networking photo sharing process for a digital image. The method may also include transmitting digital image data corresponding to the digital image to a content surfacing server to locate content relevant to the digital image. The method may also include receiving one or more items of data relevant to the digital image from the content surfacing server. Furthermore, the method may include presenting a notification, before the digital image is uploaded to a social networking system by the social networking photo sharing process, to a user to indicate that content relevant to the digital image has been received.

Antimicrobial and algaecidal products are disclosed. In general, the antimicrobial or algaecidal products can be adhered to structural components of buildings and include particles that, when combined with water, produce a solution that is toxic to organisms such as algae. The products provide an algaecidal wash as water percolates on, or through the product, and can prevent or control growth of unsightly algae and other microbes.

An intervertebral implant has a fusion body with at least one keel that anchors the implant into cancellous bone of at least one vertebral body. A method for implantation includes lateral implantation of the implant.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for enabling virtual tags is described. The method may include receiving a first digital image data and virtual tag data to be associated with a real-world object in the first digital image data, wherein the first digital image data is captured by a first mobile device, and the virtual tag data includes metadata received from a user of the first mobile device. The method may also include generating a first digital signature from the first digital image data that describes the real-world object, and in response to the generation, inserting in substantially real-time the first digital signature into a searchable index of digital images. The method may also include storing, in a tag database, the virtual tag data and an association between the virtual tag data and the first digital signature inserted into the index of digital images.
