US Patent:

20050076562, Apr 14, 2005

Filed:

Sep 29, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/674589

Inventors:

Chen Chin Huang - San Martin CA, US

International Classification:

A01G017/06

US Classification:

047044000

Abstract:

An embodiment of the present invention is a maneuverable topiary frame for instant application to topiary related shrubs, trees, plants, and foliage. The embodiment allows for instant use to already existing plants thereby significantly reducing the time required for filling out the topiary frame as required of conventional topiary frames used for plants in their early stages of growth. The frame of the embodiment of the present invention is maneuverable, having extremities or extensions hinged about the frame to allow for opening and closing; and is thereby adapted to meet the needs of manipulating grown branches of mature plants or growing plants very easily within the frame to fill in extremities or extensions of the frame designs. In addition, a method of manufacturing of maneuverable topiary frames is described comprising forming rigid support pieces, separated into members; smoothly weaving a mesh framework around the support pieces; forming hinged connections to connect separated members; and permanently attaching clip mechanisms to release and secure members.

Abstract:

Methods and corresponding systems for automatic frequency capping provide an automated decision-making process that decides dynamically how often the content of electronic communications from an entity should be sent to any specific customer or potential customer for a particular campaign. An individual customer's or potential customer's optimal electronic communication frequency is determined using machine learning and is based on behavior data. The method may comprise receiving from an entity, content and an audience, that includes at least a particular customer or potential customer, for use for generating electronic communications for the particular campaign; training a model to learn a personalized frequency for sending the electronic communications to each of the audience; based on the trained model, the content, and the audience, creating electronic communications to send to each of the audience; and causing the electronic communications to be sent to each of the audience at a frequency that is personalized.

Abstract:

Systems and processes for metric learning distillation are disclosed herein. In accordance with one example, a method includes, at an electronic device, at an electronic device having one or more processors and memory, receiving a first plurality of vectors from a first model, receiving a second plurality of vectors from a second model, determining a first plurality of vector distances based on the first plurality of vectors, generating a first matrix based on the first plurality of vector distances, determining a second plurality of vector distances based on the second plurality of vectors, generating a second matrix based on the second plurality of vector distances, comparing the first matrix with the second matrix, and adjusting the second model based on the comparison of the first matrix and the second matrix.

Abstract:

The present invention provides a salience-based media manipulation method and system for inserting contents into video presentations. The method includes establishing an advertisement-element pool containing a plurality of advertisement elements provided for insertion; obtaining an input video presenting at least one scenes and containing a plurality of original frames; and performing shot grouping and primary scene analysis on the input video to acquire scenes with static background and limited camera motion. The method also includes detecting white-space candidates in the acquired scenes for inserting at least one advertisement element and adjusting alignment between the white-space candidates and the at least one advertisement element. The adjusted alignment increases a salience gain of the advertisement elements and limit salience change of the scenes without insertion. The method further includes generating an output video by inserting the advertisement elements into the white-space candidates according to the adjusted alignment between the white-space candidates and the advertisement elements.
