    摘要: A specification defining allowable luma and chroma code-values is applied in a region-of-interest encoding method of a mezzanine compression process. The method may include analyzing an input image to determine regions or areas within each image frame that contain code-values that are near allowable limits as specified by the specification. In addition, the region-of-interest method may comprise then compressing those regions with higher precision than the other regions of the image that do not have code-values that are close to the legal limits.

    摘要: A system for remediation of a fluid is provided. The system has an inlet configured to supply the fluid to a remediation channel, an injection port in fluid communication with the remediation channel, the injection port configured to inject at least one substance into the liquid, at least on air actuator in fluid communication with the remediation channel downstream from the injection port, the air actuator configured to generate a cavitation pocket, a vortex plate disposed within the remediation channel, and configured to create a swirl in the fluid and further increase the number of cavitation pockets within the liquid. A method of remediating a fluid is also provided herein.

    摘要: A payment processing system for mobile point-of-sale transactions from a mobile point of sale terminal including a payment card reader having a card interface configured to read data from a payment card, the payment processing system includes an automated support system for proactively generating and presenting support messages for merchants using a mobile point-of-sale terminal. The automated support system generates the support message using a current account context for the merchant account and a plurality of rules that indicate a problem with the merchant account. The automated support system is further configured to generate a plurality of rules for detecting merchant account problems using a knowledge database of support tickets that include a human generated response to a merchant account problem and a corresponding merchant account context at the time of the human generated response.

    摘要: Methods and systems facilitate facilitating notifying a user of potential savings associated with a parts order. According to various implementations, an order file containing order information associated with a first part is received. A determination is made, based on inventory information, that the first part is available from each of a first and second part sellers. Based on a price matrix, a potential cost savings is determined associated with ordering the first part from the first part seller rather than the second part seller, and a savings beacon associated with the part, and indicating the potential savings, is generated and provided to the user.

    摘要: The present concept is a method for surveying brand preference which includes the steps of providing a participant with a unique identification data card and code. The participants input personal information into a database through an interactive electronic surface device for administering a product taste challenge, wherein the surface device in communication with the identification card and the database. Additionally there is provided an algorithm which based on information in the database corresponding to the identification card selects a product challenge test and a product challenge test selected by the participant is administered and the results of product challenge results are displayed. Personal information includes personal data and personality data, wherein personality data includes answers to survey questions regarding likes and dislikes of selected foods, beverages and tastes.
