Title: Visual attribute determination for content selection
Inventor: ABHIMANYU SALOKHE
IPC: G06F16/583
Filed: 2019-10-23
Abstract: Content can be located for items that are stylistically similar to an item of interest. The item of interest can be represented in a query image, which is analyzed to determine one or more regions having an item represented therein. The classification of the item is determined, enabling identification of a trained model to be used to process image data for the region(s) of the query image. The trained model outputs a set of attributes, relating to visual or stylistic attributes, and corresponding confidence or prominence values for the attributes. These attributes and values can be compared against a data repository to locate items determined to be similar based on corresponding attributes and values. A similarity determination algorithm can identify similar items and rank those items by similarity. Content for the most similar items is returned as a result for the query image.

Title: Radio synchronization
Inventor: WEI LI
IPC: H04L27/26
Filed: 2021-07-29
Abstract: A radio receiver configured to determine whether a received digital radio signal includes a predetermined cyclic preamble. An input portion of the receiver samples the received signal and generates a plurality of samples, which are stored in a buffer. A first autocorrelator 202 correlates first and second subsets of the plurality of samples to generate a first correlation metric, the second subset having being stored in the buffer earlier than said first subset by an even integer multiple of half of the period of the preamble. A second autocorrelator 204 correlates first and third subsets of the plurality of samples to generate a second correlation metric, the third subset having being stored in the buffer earlier than said first subset by an odd integer multiple of half of the preamble period. A processing portion of the receiver calculates a difference between the correlation metrics and determines that the radio signal includes the predetermined cyclic preamble when the difference is greater than a threshold value. The preamble may be palindromic, and a demodulator may be enabled only after determining that the digital radio signal comprises the preamble.
