Assignee:

Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. - Houston TX

International Classification:

G06F 13/00

US Classification:

715723, 715719

Abstract:

A system and method for merging scenes in a video sequence and constructing a keyframe to represent the underlying merged video content includes decomposing a video sequence into a series of component scenes, merging component scene pairs until a predetermined number of scene sets remain, extracting a keyframe from each scene set containing a single component scene, and constructing a new keyframe for each scene set containing a plurality of component scenes.

International Classification:

H03K 19/173

US Classification:

326 46, 326 40

Abstract:

A programmable input/output device for use with a programmable logic device (PLD) is presented comprising an input buffer, an output buffer and programmable elements. The programmable elements may be programmed to select a logic standard for the input/output device to operate at. For instance, a given set of Select Bits applied to the programmable elements may select TTL logic, in which case the input and output buffers would operate according to the voltage levels appropriate for TTL logic (e. g. , 0. 4 volts to 2. 4 volts). For a different set of Select Bits, the GTL logic standard would be applied (e. g. , 0. 8 volts to 1. 2 volts). The invention enables a single PLD to be used in conjunction with various types of external circuitry.

International Classification:

US Classification:

707 4, 707 3, 715200

Abstract:

A system and method for location-specific searching. The invention correctly identifies explicit and implicit locations in a search query, and provides an appropriate dominant location. Top search results are obtained and analyzed to determine which terms in the query often appear in combination, and the query is tokenized based on the analysis. An explicit location indicating a location intent is most likely treated as an individual token, and the explicit location is treated as the dominant location of the query. In the case of a false positive, wherein the explicit location in a query is not the location intent, the explicit location is likely to be present with other terms that provide context. A token will likely include these terms together. The explicit location will therefore not be used to generate location-specific results in the case of a false positive.

Abstract:

While interacting with a messaging interface, keywords or other search criteria are automatically identified and used to perform a search. Search results and sponsored links (or advertisements) are displayed to the user within the messaging interface. To alleviate privacy concerns, this process will not be performed unless the user has explicitly opted-in to the search feature. In another embodiment, the user can highlight keywords in an outbound or inbound message to trigger a search without leaving the messaging interface. In another embodiment, the user can input a search keyword or phrase to trigger a search without leaving the messaging interface.

Assignee:

Siemens Aktiengesellschaft - Munich

International Classification:

G06K 9/00

US Classification:

382132

Abstract:

A method and system for segmenting diaphragm regions in a chest X-ray radiograph is disclosed. The diaphragm regions are segmented based on left and right lung lobe regions and a heart region in the chest X-ray radiograph. A right diaphragm region is segmented in the chest X-ray radiograph based a boundary of the right lung lobe. A left diaphragm region is segmented in the chest X-ray radiograph based on the heart region and a boundary of the left lung lobe.

US Classification:

382132, 382128, 382131, 382287, 382291, 382293

Abstract:

A method and system for locating an opaque region, such as a heart region in a chest X-ray radiograph is disclosed. In order to segment a heart region in a chest X-ray radiograph, a heart region boundary is generated based on lung boundaries in the chest X-ray radiograph and an average heart region model. A location of the lower boundary of the heart region in the chest X-ray radiograph is then determined. Left and right portions of the heart region boundary are independently registered to corresponding portions of the lung boundaries, and upper and lower portions of the heart region boundary are adjusted based on the left and right portions in order to form a smooth contour.
