Assignee:

Google Inc. - Mountain View CA

International Classification:

G06F 7/00
G06F 17/00

US Classification:

707765, 707769

Abstract:

A computer-implemented method includes providing location factors for first phrases in a collection of phrases, where each location factor for a first phrase is associated with a likelihood that a second phrase of a search query is associated with a location when the first phrase and the second phrase are used in the search query. A search query is received, where the received search query includes a first phrase from the collection of phrases and a second phrase. Whether the second phrase of the received search query refers to a location is determined based, at least in part, on the location factor for the first phrase of the search query.

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707748, 707724

Abstract:

One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that automatically determines if a location is a standalone location, which can be unambiguously identified by a name for the location alone. During operation, the system determines a name score for the location which indicates a popularity of the name for the location. The system also obtains a signature for the location, wherein the signature is a set of combinations of location specifiers, wherein each combination of location specifiers refers to the location. The system then determines a signature score for the location which indicates a popularity of the signature for the location. Finally, the system determines whether the location is a standalone location based on the name score and the signature score.

International Classification:

H04N 714

US Classification:

348 14

Abstract:

A graphical user interface for a videophone in a cable television system allows the user to access the videophone functionalities with an input control device and a television monitor. The user can place a call, receive a call and store/access/call addresses using a remote in conjunction with the graphical user interface display screens. The videophone has several elements including a user interface, a graphics engine, a network interface, a remote control interface, and an output audio/video line connected to a television monitor. The user interface receives and processes control inputs using a microprocessor and the graphics engine generates the display screens using a DSP. Depending on processing requirements, the DSP may implement the user interface rather than the microprocessor. Also, anti-aliasing fonts are used to generate a high quality display. To save processing cycles, the anti-aliasing fonts may be retrieved from a look-up table rather than being generated in real time.

Abstract:

Coating compositions having a polymeric binder and a stabilizer composition including at least one of a UV absorber, a hindered amine light stabilizer (HALS), or an inorganic UV blocker are provided herein, wherein said coating compositions are more resistant to discoloration when exposed to UV-C (190-280 nm) light compared to the coating compositions in the absence of the stabilizer composition. Thus, a method of stabilizing a coating composition against the deleterious effects of UV-C (190-280 nm) light includes adding to the coating composition an effective amount of such a stabilizer composition, wherein the coating composition is made more resistant to discoloration when exposed to UV-C (190-280 nm) light compared to the coating composition in the absence of the stabilizer composition. Coated articles can be made from the coating composition, and methods of making stabilized coating films include adding the stabilizer composition to the coating composition.

Abstract:

In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides a probiotic applicator, having a handle and a head affixed to the handle. The head is configured to scrape the surface of a tongue. The head includes a plurality of orifices for dispensing a fluid onto the surface of the tongue. The applicator includes a reservoir configured to contain a probiotic composition. The reservoir is in fluid communication with the plurality of orifices. An actuator is configured to allow probiotic composition to flow from the reservoir and through the plurality of orifices when actuated. In another aspect, the present disclosure may be embodied as a method for applying a probiotic composition to a tongue. The method includes scraping a surface of the tongue using a probiotic applicator having a scraping head; and applying the probiotic composition to the scraped surface of the tongue by dispensing through orifices of the probiotic applicator.
