Abstract:
The present invention is related to constructing a search-result caption that represents content of a search result (e.g., webpage). Information that is extracted from the webpage and/or other webpages is categorized and ranked based on a perceived relevance to a user context. Extracted information is then compared for inclusion in the search-result caption in order to provide a caption that accurately reflects content of the webpage and that is relevant to a context of the user

Abstract:
A method for biometric identification for use with a computing device is provided herein. The method includes capturing a temporal sequence of images of the face of a user at different locations within a three-dimensional interaction space. The method further includes extracting one or more face descriptors from the images and generating a biometric template compiling the face descriptors.

US Classification:
707748, 707E17014
Abstract:
Methods and computer-readable media for determining relevant search categories, such as images, videos, news, health, maps, products, etc., and subcategories that are associated with the search categories based on a query submitted by a user on a search page and displaying the relevant search categories and subcategories on an initial search results page. A query may be inputted by a user and may be received. A set of suggested refinement links, which may include search categories and subcategories, may be identified as being relevant to the query. Further, the subcategories, when selected, may return narrower search results than when a selection is made of a search category. Additionally, the initial search results page may be generated and may include the set of suggested refinement links determined to be relevant to the query, as well as search results.
Methods And Devices For Improved Signal Detection From Biological Samples
- Healdsburg CA, US Toan Huynh - Mountain View CA, US
International Classification:
G01N 21/33 G01N 33/49
Abstract:
Methods and devices are provided to provide clean signals even in the presence of spectral interference. At least some of these methods can be applied for cases when interfering signals are to be accounted for. These cases include, but are not limited to, hemolysis detection, icterus detection, and assays. They can be implemented in with data collected with spectrophotometers, instruments that can collect absorbance values at the few wavelengths of interest, and, in the case of the method based on background subtraction, simple imaging setups with only two filters (such as but not limited to narrow-band and wide-band) per absorption peak of interest.

International Classification:
B01L 3/00 C12M 1/00 C12M 1/12
Abstract:
Embodiments include assay devices within a single use, disposable cassette for biochemical assays with at least one fluid well and at least one capillary valve. The capillary valve in combination with motion of porous sheets within the assay leads to addition of liquid reagents at different times to the assay although a user adds the liquid reagents to the cassette simultaneously.

Credentials and other sensitive strings can undergo automatic rotation before each transmission or storage of those credentials. String modification, which can utilize a key stretching algorithm, can be used to modify the credential before transmission. This can be for an initial sign up, a subsequent login, or another such action. A random number can be generated to determine the number of iterations for the key stretching algorithm to be applied. For subsequent actions, a new random number can be added to the prior iteration number in order to create a new string that can be generated using the previously utilized iteration number and the new random number, with only the new random number being transmitted with the modified credential string. This increases security, as the transmission itself cannot be used to recover the original plaintext credential if recovered.
