Stemming reduces inflected words to their stem or root form.
For example the words fishing, fished,fish, and fisher are reduced to the root word,fish,
so a search for fisher returns all the different variations
Returns only one member of a family of patents

A system such as a vehicle may have control circuitry that controls a steering and propulsion system. The control circuitry may use the steering and propulsion system to park the vehicle in a parking space. Wireless power may be transferred from a wireless power transmitter in the parking space to a wireless power receiver coupled to a vehicle body in the vehicle. The control circuitry may use sensors to make sensor measurements during parking events. The control circuitry may also gather information on wireless power transfer efficiency. Historical vehicle-to-wireless-power-transmitter alignment information may be updated based on the sensor measurements and corresponding wireless power transfer efficiency measurements and may be used to park the vehicle in an optimal location during subsequent parking events. Vehicle parking position may be intentionally varied over a series of parking events to gather additional alignment information.

A waterproof speaker module may include a membrane formed from at least one waterproof and elastic material and a supporting structure. The membrane may include an outer surface, an inner surface, and at least one concave region that is indented toward the inner surface. The supporting structure may be coupled to the membrane and include a support structure that mates with the concave region of the membrane when the speaker is subjected to a hydrostatic load. When the speaker is not subjected to a hydrostatic load, the support structure may contact the concave region. In this way, the membrane may be resistant to tearing or rupture due to hydrostatic load.

Conductive transparent electrodes (28A, 28B) may be formed from multilayer structures (40A-40F). The multilayer structures may include layers on a substrate. Each layer may include a seed layer (46, 56), a metal layer (48, 54) on the seed layer, and a protective layer (50, 52) on the metal layer. The protective layer may be an oxide. The conductive transparent electrodes may pass visible light and block infrared light. An electrochromatic device may be formed from an electrolyte (32) sandwiched between first and second layers of electrochromic material (30, 34). The electrodes may be formed adjacent to the first and second layer of electrochromic material. A thin-film heater may be used to heat the electrochromic device to speed ion diffusion and chemical reaction rates, thereby enhancing electrochromatic device switching speeds. The thin-film heater may be controlled based on feedback from a light transmission sensor that is monitoring the transmission level of the electrochromic device.

One embodiment of the disclosure includes an electronic device including an enclosure (214), a button (106), and a processing element (not shown). The button is connected to the enclosure and includes a button cap (234) defining a user input surface, a flexible member (238) having an interior surface (270) and exterior surface. The flexible member is aligned with the button cap and is connected thereto. The button further includes a strain sensor (244) connected to the interior surface of the flexible member, the strain sensor is in communication with the processing element. When a force is exerted on the button cap, the flexible member bends and the strain sensor detects a user input corresponding to the force and provides a signal to the processing element corresponding to the user input. In some embodiments, the button may be substantially or completely waterproof.

An organic light-emitting diode may have transparent electrodes. An organic emissive layer may be interposed between the electrodes. The emissive layer may emit light in response to current injected from the electrodes. The organic light-emitting diode electrodes may cover an electrode area. The electrode area may be square or may have other shapes. To enhance brightness uniformity, portions of the electrodes in a peripheral region (H1, H2) of the electrode area may have higher sheet resistances than a central portion of the electrode area. The electrode area may be square and may have four corners. The higher sheet resistances may be associated with regions of the electrode area adjacent to the corners. Elevated sheet resistances may be produced by forming the electrodes with different thicknesses in different areas or by providing supplemental conductive structures (104) in selected areas of the electrode area.

Implementations described and claimed herein provide localization systems and methods using surface imaging. In one implementation, a raw image of a target surface is captured using at least one imager. The raw image is encoded into a template using at least one transform. The template specifies a course direction and an intensity gradient at one or more spatial frequencies of a pattern of the target surface. The template is compared to a subset of reference templates selected from a gallery stored in one or more storage media. A location of the target surface is identified when the template matches a reference template in the subset.
