| 20150352707 | CLEANING DEVICE - A cleaning device having a cleaning head assembly and a handle assembly is provided. The assemblies are removably attached to one another by a locking mechanism that includes a female attachment portion having a receptacle and being affixed to a cleaning head, and a male attachment portion having a locking projection and being affixed to a handle and adapted for removable engagement with the female attachment portion. The locking projection on the male attachment portion is biased to engage the receptacle in the female attachment portion so as to releaseably lock the cleaning head and the handle together. | 12-10-2015 |

| 20100208987 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR FOREGROUND DETECTION USING MULTI-MODALITY FUSION GRAPH CUT - A method for foreground detection using multi-modality fusion graph cut includes the following steps. A video frame of a video sequence is inputted. A foreground region in the video frame is designated using adaptive background Gaussian Mixture Model and a threshold value. The foreground region is segmented using a multi-modality fusion graph cut procedure. A computer program product using the method and a system for foreground detection using multi-modality fusion graph cut are also disclosed herein. | 08-19-2010 |

| 20130301938 | HUMAN PHOTO SEARCH SYSTEM - A human photo search system is provided. A user can search for a human photo using a canvas interactive interface on a user device, such as a touch panel or a computer. The user composes his/her impression of a desired photo on a query canvas to generate query semantics, which are then sent to a photo search server. The photo search server then searches a human photo database for candidate photos corresponding to the query semantics, and ranks the candidate photos according to relevance. Finally, the photo search server sends the sorted candidate photos back to the user device for display. Accordingly, the human photo search system of the present invention can search possible photos by the positions, the sizes, and the human attributes of the people in the desired photo, for which the user composes his/her impression on the query canvas without entering any text tags. | 11-14-2013 |

| 20100262375 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR FORMING A HOMEOSTATIC LOOP EMPLOYING AN APTAMER BIOSENSOR - A novel architecture solid-state biosensor for label-free detection of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) hybridization is presented. The new device is realized by forming a matrix array of parallel capacitors, thus allowing the realization of low-cost, portable, fully integrated devices. The detection mechanism is based on an electrochemical binding of circulating VEGF to an immobilized VEGF aptamer; whereby binding of these two compounds modulates the threshold voltage of a novel circuit, changing the impedance (capacitance) of the circuit. This novel circuit is further characterized by an electrode coded with a p-Si substrate, enhancing the affinity between the VEGF molecules and the aptamer. An apparatus forming a fluid cell is configured so as to enable the flow for delivering VEGF samples onto the active surface of the chip. The device has an array of parallel capacitors which act as an integrated, individual counter-electrode, computational apparatus which employs the sensory output over the time domain so as to enable detection, reporting and formation of a homeostatic loop for VEGF measurements. Moreover, this detector is able to provide an accurately measured and quantifiable rate of change of the VEGF molecules in-vivo, providing real time feedback of this important biomarker which may be used to measure response of the tumor to delivered chemotherapeutic agents and biological response modifiers (BRMs) for the purpose of determining tumor burden. | 10-14-2010 |
