20150161482 | REFINING IMAGE RELEVANCE MODELS - Methods, systems and apparatus for refining image relevance models. In general, one aspect of the subject matter described in this specification can be implemented in methods that include re-training an image relevance model by generating a first re-trained model based on content feature values of first images of a first portion of training images in a set of training images, receiving, from the first re-trained model, image relevance scores for second images of a second portion of the set of training images, removing, from the set of training images, some of the second images identified as outlier images for which the image relevance score received from the first re-trained model is below a threshold score, and generating a second re-trained model based on content feature values of the first images of the first portion and the second images of the second portion that remain following removal of the outlier images. | 06-11-2015 |

20130053939 | METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING CYLINDRICAL NITINOL OBJECTS FROM SHEET - An article cut from a metallic sheet, has a first pattern of struts forming a plurality of inner apexes situated substantially within a plane that contains the plurality of the inner apexes. There is a second pattern of struts forming a plurality of outer apexes that are situated substantially within the plane containing the inner apexes. Each outer apex has at least one strut in common with an adjacent inner apex. There is also described a method of forming a non-planar three dimensional structure by patterning a planar sheet of material to form an article having a plurality of inner apexes, a plurality of outer apexes with a common curvilinear strut between an inner apex and an adjacent outer apex. Thereafter, everting the article into a non-planar three dimensional structure with the inner apexes at one end of the structure and the outer apexes at another end of the structure. | 02-28-2013 |

20110113517 | WEAR-LESS OPERATION OF A MATERIAL SURFACE WITH A SCANNING PROBE MICROSCOPE - A method and a scanning probe microscope (SPM) for scanning a surface of a material. The method and SPM have a cantilever sensor configured to exhibit both a first spring behavior and a second, stiffer spring behavior. While operating the SPM in contact mode, the sensor is scanned on the material surface and a first spring behavior of the sensor (e.g. a fundamental mode of flexure thereof) is excited by deflection of the sensor by the material surface. Also while operating the SPM in contact mode, excitation means are used to excite a second spring behavior of the sensor at a resonance frequency thereof (e.g. one or more higher-order resonant modes) of the cantilever sensor to modulate an interaction of the sensor and the material surface and thereby reduce the wearing of the material surface. | 05-12-2011 |
