Inventor: GROVER DOUGLAS M
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2010-07-23
Abstract: A search term is generated based on an object containing a plurality of items. The object may be a text object 110, e.g. a document, containing text items 111. At least one, but not all, of the text items are selected based on a user-defined profile 108 and parsed to generate the search term.

The parser 104 may parse selected items by eliminating common words, ranking words, or based on terms in the profile. Alternatively, the profile may contain an instruction to identify, for example, a car in an image object. Search terms may be sent to a search engine 106 to generate search results. A user may drag and drop a graphical representation of the object into a search engine icon to automatically perform a search based on the profile.

Title: Diaphragm valve assembly with control chamber and lid
Inventor: MILLER ANDREW NEIL
IPC: A61M16/20
Filed: 2011-01-10
Abstract: A diaphragm valve assembly 10 for a respiratory system is provided, comprising a valve housing 12 having a first port 16 arranged for fluid communication with a fluid supply and an outlet 30 spaced from the first port by a valve chamber 68. A diaphragm member 50 selectively controls the flow between the first port and the outlet. The valve housing has an opening 34 across which the diaphragm extends. A lid 14 cooperates with the valve housing to trap the diaphragm member at 50A, forming a seal, and defines and isolates a control chamber 70 between the diaphragm member and the lid. Pin 60 in recess 48 aids in aligning the lid and valve. The lid may have a control port connector formation integrally formed therein. In use, high pressure in the conduit 32 (e.g. from exhalation) lifts the valve sealing flange 52 and support flange 54 off the valve seat 42 and the fluid can exit through the valve chamber 68 to outlet 30. When the pressure in the conduit 32 is lower than the pressure in the control chamber 70, the diaphragm deforms and sealing flange 52 contacts the valve seat 42, closing the valve.

Title: Method and apparatus for borehole wall resistivity imaging with full circumferential coverage
Inventor: ITSKOVICH GREGORY B
IPC: G01V3/20
Filed: 2009-10-19
Abstract: A logging tool for performing resistivity measurements on the sidewall of a borehole in an earth formation is provided with a circumferential series of evenly-spaced measurement electrodes providing complete circumferential coverage of resistivity measurements. In one embodiment, the measurement electrodes are carried on a conductive pad circumferentially surrounding an elongate mandrel or tubular. The conductive pad is held at a voltage adapted to focus measurement current into the sidewall of the borehole. Preferably, the pad has dimensions relative to the measurement electrodes and a standoff distance between the measurement electrodes and said borehole wall to effectively focus the measurement current into the bore-hole wall. In accordance with one aspect of the invention, the measurement electrodes are spaced apart by a distance that is less than the width of each measurement electrode, thereby ensuring full circumferential resolution.

Title: Determining a fluid level in an internal combustion engine fluid tank
Inventor: ZANETTI IGOR
IPC: G01F23/00
Filed: 2011-06-28
Abstract: A method and system for determining a fluid level value in a fluid tank of an internal combustion engine equipped with a discrete level sensor, for example a fuel tank or an urea tank containing urea solution used in exhaust gas treatment, especially when small movement of the vehicle are enough to cause the fluid to slosh in the tank. The discrete level sensor, for example a magnetic float level sensor 510, is configured for generating a first electrical signal when a fluid level is above or equal a first predetermined fluid level threshold value, generating a second elecÂ­trical signal when the fluid level is above or equal a second predeÂ­termined fluid level threshold value, the second predetermined fluid level threshold value being greater than the first predetermined fluÂ­id level threshold value. The method comprises the steps of monitorÂ­ing a number of occurrences of the first and of the second electrical signal over a time interval and calculating the fluid level in the fluid tank as a function of the monitored number of occurrences of the first and second electrical signals over the time interval.

Title: Apparatus and method for splitting wood into kindling
Inventor: CLARKE DANA S
IPC: B26B23/00
Filed: 2010-07-21
Abstract: A specialized wood splitting tool and chopping block, used together, enable cutting kindling from ordinary firewood in an effective and safe manner. The splitting tool uses leverage in addition to downward momentum of the cutting head to split wood. The metal handle and metal cutting head are preferably formed from a single piece of steel, in a perpendicular configuration similar to an adze. A splitting wedge blade within the handle exerts transverse shear forces to enhance splitting, and flat upper surfaces of the cutting head and the handle near the joint provide a striking surface. A complimentary chopping block for bracing logs of various diameters in a steady upright position has a V-shaped recess that is open on one end. The chopping block provides resistance to the unique leverage of the splitting tool during the splitting action.

Title: Wind/water turbine with rotational resistance reduced by wind vane blade
Inventor: TAMATSU YOSHIJI
IPC: F03B7/00
Filed: 2011-06-07
Abstract: A vertical axis type wind/water turbine mainly consists of rotationally symmetric vanes which are secured at both ends thereof to supporting plates, the vane being made up of several blades, the blade having one vertical side being attached to a blade rotating shaft, the other free side being individually allowed to rotate freely in the shape of a sector between both the adjacent blade rotating shafts. When the vane of the wind/water turbine is convex against a wind/water flow, the blades are pushed and opened by the wind/water flow to reduce rotational resistance. When the vane is further rotated to be concave, the blades block between the blade rotating shafts and allow the entire face of the vane to be subjected to a wind/water pressure, providing a high rotational force with the rotational resistance reduced. To avoid risk, the foot of all the blades can be only wound around or retreated to the blade rotating shaft to make the horizontal sides of the blade shorter than the interval between both the adjacent blade rotating shafts. This allows the blades to freely rotate 360 degrees about the blade rotating shaft to lose the rotational force of the wind/water turbine, thereby significantly reducing the overall resistance and thus making it possible to avoid risk.
Patent GB-2512828-A (GB)
Title: Method and apparatus for encoding or decoding an image with inter layer motion information prediction
Inventor: GISQUET CHRISTOPHE
IPC: H04N19/30
Filed: 2013-04-05
Abstract: The invention concerns motion vector prediction in a scalable video encoder / decoder. Motion information predictor is determined in the enhancement layer of a scalable encoding scheme also known as motion derivation process. Either the prediction of motion information in the reference layer from temporal motion information is used in addition to motion information predictors based on motion information of other image blocks belonging to the enhancement layer, or alternate motion information (e.g. null motion vector) is generated, depending on whether the reference layer uses temporal motion vector predictors. Also, scalable motion information is determined for an area of an image of an enhancement layer of a video sequence where part of the scalable motion information is determined from motion information used for temporal prediction in the corresponding area of the reference layer. For this, the determination of the part of scalable motion information from motion information used for temporal prediction in the corresponding area of the reference layer is adjusted if the motion information in the reference layer is not available for the area of the reference layer.
