20150118643 | ANTIBACTERIAL DENTAL CLEANING APPARATUS - A combination which augments and renders a forceful water stream apparatus an effective antibacterial device using only ordinary tap water. A micro-bubble generator is configured as an addition to the water stream apparatus so that the water stream comprises a large number of micro-bubbles. The micro-bubble generator produces air bubbles having diameters in the range of about 20 μm to about 50 μm. The small bubble diameter provides a high density and large number of micro-bubbles which produce many negative ions causing minute foreign particles to adsorb to the micro-bubbles and also creates a slightly alkali effect which also promotes sterilization. The micro-bubbles promote penetration into small periodontal and periimplant pockets where an ordinary water stream could not penetrate. Moreover, the ionization effect of high density micro-bubble water provides a germicidal effect which kills bacteria hidden in such pockets and in the gingival sulcus. | 04-30-2015 |

Ratings are determined subjectively by individual users. Claaang keeps comparisons as simple as possible by representing each one with a single number. Some existing websites allow users to make consumer comparisons, but do not allow users to rate the relationships between items. Additionally, some sites provide a user the ability to compare naturally similar things only. Claaang allows for any combination of objects to be given a rating, whether they are commonly or naturally similar or not. This may reveal insights about human perception. Claaang accepts user input or votes about similarity, uses votes to adjust overall similarity ratings, and displays current ratings when prompted. Claaang is best implemented from a single server on the internet, so that it is a worldwide project. | 03-19-2015 |

During normal operation, the system scores objects in the field of view based on their ranking. | 08-22-2013 |
20140301635 | END-TO-END VISUAL RECOGNITION SYSTEM AND METHODS - We describe an end-to-end visual recognition system, where “end-to-end” refers to the ability of the system of performing all aspects of the system, from the construction of “maps” of scenes, or “models” of objects from training data, to the determination of the class, identity, location and other inferred parameters from test data. Our visual recognition system is capable of operating on a mobile hand-held device, such as a mobile phone, tablet or other portable device equipped with sensing and computing power. Our system employs a video based feature descriptor, and we characterize its invariance and discriminative properties. Feature selection and tracking are performed in real-time, and used to train a template-based classifier during a capture phase prompted by the user. During normal operation, the system scores objects in the field of view based on their ranking. | 10-09-2014 |
20140341476 | ASSOCIATING CLASSIFICATIONS WITH IMAGES - One or more devices may receive multiple images; determine one or more classifications for each of the multiple images; generate a confidence score for each classification of the one or more classifications for each of the multiple images. The confidence score may include a value between two numbers and may identify the likelihood that that a particular classification, of the one or more classifications, correctly corresponds to a particular image, of the multiple images. The confidence score may be based on information, associated with a user, and pixel-based classification information. The one or more devices may sort the multiple images by the one or more classifications and by corresponding confidence scores to form sorted multiple images; and provide the sorted multiple images. | 11-20-2014 |

20140019884 | ENHANCED SYNCHRONOUS COMMUNICATION CHANNEL FOR INTERACTIVE COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN PARTICIPANTS - A system for enabling interactive communications between participants is described. The system includes a website, a first web-browser client, a second web-browser client, a synchronous communication channel, a spontaneous transmit message and a spontaneous receive message. The first web-browser client corresponds to a first participant accessing the website and receiving computer instructions from a first participant. The second web-browser client corresponds to a second participant accessing the website and receiving computer instructions from a second participant. The synchronous communication channel between the first browser client and the second browser client is configured to enable near real-time communications between the first participant and the second participant. The spontaneous transmit message is transmitted from the first web-browser client and the spontaneous transmit message received by the second browser client. | 01-16-2014 |

20090097728 | System and Method for Detecting Tagged Material Using Alpha Matting - A method for computer-aided object classification, soft segmentation and layer extraction in computed tomographic colonography includes providing a contrast enhanced computed tomography (CT) digital image of the colon, finding a foreground region of voxels with an intensity higher than a pre-defined foreground threshold, creating a 3D trimap of the colon where the image is segmented into the foreground region, a background region, and an unknown region between the foreground and background, starting from the background, extracting successive layers of the unknown region until the foreground region is reached, and classifying each extracted layer as background or foreground, and generating a foreground matte, a background matte, and an alpha matte, where alpha indicates a mixing ration of foreground and background voxels. | 04-16-2009 |

20090277572 | FABRICATION AND ATTACHMENT OF MULTI-PART APPLIQUES - A method of attaching a multi-part appliqué to a substrate fabric including: cutting a multi-part appliqué pattern into appliqué fabric; removing waste appliqué fabric, leaving a multi-part appliqué; applying a clear plastic sheet with a tacky glue surface to the appliqué, glue side down; turning the appliqué and plastic sheet over; applying thermosetting glue to the uncovered side of the appliqué; placing the appliqué glue side down, on a substrate fabric; hot pressing the appliqué to the substrate fabric; removing the plastic sheet from the appliqué; and allowing the assembly to cool to room temperature. Preferably the thermosetting glue is applied with a silk screen. Preferably the thermosetting glue is applied in beads of approximately 3 mm width and approximately 1 mm height. Preferably hot pressing is done at about 360°±10° F. with minimal pressure for about 6-10 seconds. | 11-12-2009 |

20100113235 | Exercise Apparatus - An exercise apparatus may include a swivel and one or more elongated members, such as ropes or cords, suspended from the swivel with a support, such as a bar, for the user suspended between either ends of a single elongated member, or between two elongated members. The height of the support can be adjusted by placing ends of the support bar in loops formed along the elongated member. Hand holds and foot holds may also be mounted on the loops. In addition, the support may be prevented from rotating along its longitudinal axis. | 05-06-2010 |
