Appl. No.:

8/603508

Inventors:

William A. Saperstein - San Carlos CA
David B. Townsley - Cupertino CA
Daniel G. Miranda - Campbell CA

Assignee:

Apple Computer, Inc. - Cupertino CA

International Classification:

G06F 1300

US Classification:

395308

Abstract:

An apparatus and method to accomodate a card designed to operate, with an alternate bus standard within a computer designed to operate with a primary bus standard, where the primary bus standard and the alternate bus standard are not directly compatible. The card is designed to fit within the computer in the available physical space and to connect to a card connector as required for the primary bus. However, the card is designed to be electrically compatible with the alternate bus standard. In a preferred embodiment the card draws power and any other signals, perhaps including clock, that are useful to both bus standards, but the address, data and control bus signals for the alternate bus are delivered to the card through an independent channel. This independent channel can be a separate connector to carry any signals needed for the alternate bus standard, which according to the application may or may not repeat signals already available through the primary bus.

Abstract:

The present disclosure relates to an image merging system that automatically and seamlessly detects and merges missing people for a set of digital images into a composite group photo. For instance, the image merging system utilizes a number of models and operations to automatically analyze multiple digital images to identify a missing person from a base image, segment the missing person from the second image, and generate a composite group photo by merging the segmented image of the missing person into the base image. In this manner, the image merging system automatically creates merged group photos that appear natural and realistic.

Abstract:

Object search techniques for digital images are described. In the techniques described herein, semantic features are extracted on a per-object basis form a digital image. This supports location of objects within digital images and is not limited to semantic features of an entirety of the digital image as involved in conventional image similarity search techniques. This may be combined with indications a location of the object globally with respect to the digital image through use of a global segmentation mask, use of a local segmentation mask to capture post and characteristics of the object itself, and so on.

International Classification:

G06F 17/30
G06Q 30/06
G06N 99/00

Abstract:

A query for one or more resources is received. One or more tokens associated with the query is identified based on running the query through a learning model. The one or more tokens correspond to one or more terms that the query shares context similarity to based on a history of user selections. One or more search result candidates are scored based at least on the context similarity between the one or more tokens and the query.

International Classification:

G06F 17/30
G06N 7/00

Abstract:

Various methods and systems for providing query result items using an item title demand model are provided. A query is received at a search engine. Based on receiving the query, an item title demand engine is accessed. The item title demand engine operates based on an item title demand model which uses token weights, representing skip probabilities of tokens in item titles, to determine title scores for result item titles for corresponding queries. Based on accessing the item title demand engine, one or more result item titles for the query are identified from items in an item database. An identified result item title is identified based on a title score determined using the item title demand model and a highest skip probability of a token in the result item title. The one or more result item titles are communicated to cause display of the one or more result item titles.
