Abstract:
Methods and apparatus to generate templates from web images for searching an image database are described. In one embodiment, one or more retrieved images (e.g., from the Web) may be used to generate one or more templates. The templates may be used to search an image database based on features commonly shared between sub-images of the retrieved images. Other embodiments are also described.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for the performing of handover in a communication system. In the method a transport connection establishment request is sent from a first network node to a second network node. A node name is obtained for the second network node. A handover condition is detected by the first network node. A new address is obtained for the first network node. The new address for the first network node is updated to a name service node. A transport connection migration request is sent from the first node to the second network node. The transport connection migration request comprises a token, which identifies the connection.
Abstract:
An acoustic energy cleaning system and method which fosters micro-bubble formation for effective cleaning while buffering micro-bubble growth which would otherwise damage the wafer. In one embodiment, the invention includes combining a first frequency signal and a second frequency signal having a positive amplitude bias component so as to form a combined signal. The combined signal, which has a positive amplitude offset, is applied to a transducer system that converts the combined signal into acoustic waves. The acoustic waves can be applied to the object to be cleaned in a cleaning fluid.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a megasonic cleaning apparatus configured to provide effective cleaning of a substrate without causing damage to the substrate. The apparatus includes a probe having one of a variety of cross-sections configured to decrease the ratio of normal-incident waves to shallow-angle waves. One such cross-section includes a channel running along a portion of the lower edge of the probe. Another cross-section includes a narrow lower edge of the probe. Another cross-section is elliptical. Another cross-section includes transverse bores originating in the lower edge of the probe. As an alternative to, or in addition to, providing a probe having a cross-section other than circular, the present invention may also provide a probe having a roughened lower surface.
Abstract:
A fermentation method for producing coenzyme Q10 is provided, including stepwisly culturing of microbial strains capable of producing coenzyme Q10, wherein key promoting factors are added in each stage of culture, and in the stage of culture in a fermentor, dissolved oxygen feedback-fed batch culture technique is adopted to realize the feedback regulation of the production of coenzyme Q10, so as to improve the yield of coenzyme Q10.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for determining point-to-point distances from 3D image data. In some embodiments, two measure points, for example specified by a user, represent endpoints on an object of interest within an image frame. Assuming all points lying between these endpoints also belong to the object of interest, additional 3D data associated with points that lie along a measurement line defined by the measure points may be leveraged to provide a robust distance measurement. In some embodiments, total least squares fitting is performed, for example through Robust Principal Component Analysis (RPCA) to identify linear structures within the set of the 3D coordinates on the measurement line. In some exemplary embodiments, the minimum covariance determinant (MCD) estimator of the covariance matrix of the data is computed for a highly robust estimate of multivariate location and multivariate scatter.
Abstract:
Network connection is provided by a method is performed in a control node. An indication pertaining to at least partly transfer a data transmission service of a wireless device from using a first network access method to using a second network access method associated with a network node is received. The network node is associated with a compatibility version. The indication comprises a compatibility version of the wireless device for the second network access method. The compatibility version of the wireless device is compared to the compatibility version of the network node. It is determined if there is a version mismatch between the compatibility version of the wireless device and the compatibility version of the network node. If so, an expected performance impact of the wireless device using the second network access method is determined. Based on the determined performance impact, it is indicated whether or not the wireless device is allowed to establish a connection to the network node.
Abstract:
A device for holding disk-shaped articles and a method thereof are provided. The device comprises a rotatable chuck body and at least two groups of clamping elements arranged at the edge of the chuck body. Each of the clamping elements is mounted to a pivot with the chuck body respectively by means of the rotation of the clamping element with respect to the chuck body. A radial compression spring is connected between the bottom of the clamping element and the chuck body to provide a clamping force for the clamping element. The clamping elements in the same group are provided with magnets with the same polarity, while the clamping elements in different groups are provided with magnets with the opposite polarity. Two sets of electromagnets are arranged on the chuck body and spaced apart evenly.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides isolated binding molecules that bind to the human OX40R, nucleic acid molecules encoding an amino acid sequence of the binding molecules, vectors comprising the nucleic acid molecules, host cells containing the vectors, methods of making the binding molecules, pharmaceutical compositions containing the binding molecules, and methods of using the binding molecules or compositions.
Abstract:
Apparatuses, systems, media and methods may provide for environment actuation by one or more augmented reality elements. A location module may determine a location of one or more networked devices in a real space and/or establish a location of the one or more augmented reality elements in a virtual space, which may be mapped to the real space. A coordinator module may coordinate a virtual action in the virtual space of the one or more augmented reality elements with an actuation event by the one or more networked devices in the real space. The actuation event may correspond to the virtual action in the virtual space and be discernible in the real space.
