    摘要: Systems and methods for collaborative illumination estimation for mobile mixed-reality devices are provided. Embodiments described herein compose an illumination estimate using video data capturing an environment which includes a reflective object, such as a light probe. Radiance samples are computed from light reflections from the reflective object, which are then interpolated to compose a realistic estimation of physical lighting of the environment. Robust illumination estimation is provided in a computationally efficient manner, supplying real-time updates to facilitate integration with augmented reality (AR) systems and other image processing applications. The computational efficiency of this approach allows for implementation in lower-resource environments, such as mobile devices. In some examples, multiple devices can collaborate to capture the environment from different viewpoints and enhance realism and fidelity in their illumination estimates.

    摘要: A “Cross-Lingual Unified Relevance Model” provides a feedback model that improves a machine-learned ranker for a language with few training resources, using feedback from a more complete ranker for a language that has more training resources. The model focuses on linguistically non-local queries, such as “world cup” (English language/U.S. market) and “copa mundial” (Spanish language/Mexican market), that have similar user intent in different languages and markets or regions, thus allowing the low-resource ranker to receive direct relevance feedback from the high-resource ranker. Among other things, the Cross-Lingual Unified Relevance Model differs from conventional relevancy-based techniques by incorporating both query- and document-level features. More specifically, the Cross-Lingual Unified Relevance Model generalizes existing cross-lingual feedback models, incorporating both query expansion and document re-ranking to further amplify the signal from the high-resource ranker to enable a learning to rank approach based on appropriately labeled training data.

    摘要: The hierarchical approach may start at the bottom of the hierarchy. As it moves up the hierarchy, knowledge from children and cousins is used to classify items at the parent. In addition, knowledge of improper classifications at a low level are raised to a higher level to create new rules to better identify mistaken classifications at a higher level. Once the top of the hierarchy is reached, a top down approach is used to further refine the classification of items.

    摘要: Measuring duplication in search results is described. In one example, duplication between a pair of results provided by an information retrieval system in response to a query is measured. History data for the information retrieval system is accessed and query data retrieved, which describes the number of times that users have previously selected either or both of the pair of results, and a relative presentation sequence of the pair of results when displayed at each selection. From the query data, a fraction of user selections is determined in which a predefined combination of one or both of the pair of results were selected for a predefined presentation sequence. From the fraction, a measure of duplication between the pair of results is found. In further examples, the information retrieval system uses the measure of duplication to determine an overall redundancy value for a result set, and controls the result display accordingly.

    摘要: Improved polymeric devices are disclosed which slowly and gradually release drugs or other chemicals, for use as wound dressings that gradually release antibiotics, analgesics, or other useful drugs directly onto the surfaces of wounds. These polymers also provide other sustained-release devices, such as capsules that will gradually release a drug the entire time they remain in the digestive system, until the inert polymer is excreted in feces. These devices are created by reacting: (1) a hydrophilic polymer such as poly(2-hydroxy-ethyl-methacrylate); (2) a solvent such as polyethylene glycol; (3) a plasticizing agent that promotes hydrogen bonding, such as dimethylsulfoxide in a quantity which is substantially reduced compared to prior formulations; and (4) the drug or chemical that is to be slowly released by the final device. The quantity of DMSO has been reduced from about 5%, in previously-known polymer systems, to about 0.1% in these improved devices. This reduction in DMSO content, combined with certain other improvements, doubles the shelf life from 1 year to 2 years, while also eliminating the need to refrigerate these devices until use. The improved polymers also have reduced odors, and reduced discoloration during storage. The new methods and recipes also allow the use of “curing ovens” to accelerate the curing of a liquid slurry into a solidified device. This allows faster, simpler, and more reliable and consistent manufacturing of commercial-scale quantities of these devices.

    摘要: An apparatus and method is described for applying epidermal growth factor (EGF) for achieving healing enhancement at a wound site. The human source of epidermal growth factor, designated as hEGF, is applied from the synthetic resin matrix system of this invention, and which comprises a polymer, such as poly(2-hydroxyl ethyl methyl methacrylate), referred to as PHEMA, an organic solvent, such as polyethylene glycol (PEG), and a hydrogen binding plasticizer, such as dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO). The plasticizer regulates the set-up time of the synthetic resin, so that the more plasticizer present, the shorter the set-up time. The dressing, once formed, and having the healing enhancer contained therein, may be sealed within various backing sheets, in order to preserve its aseptic condition. When ready for use, one of the backing sheets may be peeled away to expose the resin pad with the emobodied healing enhancer, ready for application to the wound site.

    摘要: An anti-microbial sensitivity test and testing stratum is disclosed for evaluating the sensitivity of different anti-microbial agents relative to identifiable microbial contaminants. The test stratum comprises a polymer such as poly(2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate) referred to as PHEMA, an organic solvent, such as polyethylene glycol (PEG), a hydrogen binding plasticizer, such as dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), an an anti-microbial agent such as silver sulfadiazine, mafenide, nystatin, nitrofurazone, silver nitrate, bacitracin, gentamicin, amphotericin B, cesium nitrate, or other anti-microbial agents. The test includes positioning testing stratum of the type described, each having a different anti-microbial agent therein, on a sterile plate or on an agar substrate and spaced in fixed relationship to one another. The testing stratum are self adhering and remain fixed on a sterile plate, or on an applicator, even when the sterile plate, is inverted. The testing stratum further provide a sustained release of the anti-microbial agent incorporated therein. The testing stratum are then subjected to samples from the wound site, often containing microbial contaminants, and after a predetermined period of incubation, evaluation indicative of microbial contamination can then be made and examination of the zones of inhibition over and around each of the anti-microbial testing stratum will determine effectiveness of each anti-microbial agent contained in the test system.
