Title: Identifying object colour from an image
Inventor: Shaun Anthony Hall
IPC: G06T7/90
Filed: 2020-03-12
Abstract: This invention relates to identifying object colour from an image; in particular identifying skin tone from an image. The method comprises obtaining image data; correcting the colour balance of the image data to obtain corrected image data, wherein the correcting is based on colour reference data in the image data; obtaining regional image data in the corrected image data; analysing the regional image data to identify one or more colour values representative of the pixel colour values; weighting the colour values according to the distribution of that pixel colour value in the regional image data; generating an item colour profile from the regional image data wherein colour profile comprises a set of the weighted colour values. Preferably a make-up product (e.g. foundation) is selected from a database based on the user’s skin tone profile. Preferably the colour values and information are CIELAB values and are analysed with a clustering algorithm such as a mean-shift algorithm.

Title: System and method for language translation
Inventor: RENXIAN ZHANG
IPC: G06F40/51
Filed: 2020-08-07
Abstract: A computer implemented method of language translation comprises receiving an input text element 302 in a first language at a machine selector module 306. The machine selector module selects one of a plurality of machine translation models 308, which translates the text element to a first translated text element 312 in a second language. A post-editor module 310 predicts a post-edit of the first translated text element to produce a second translated text element 314. A quality evaluation module 318 evaluates a quality metric corresponding to both the first and second translated text elements, then uses these quality scores to select the best translation to be used as an output text element 322. The selected machine translation model may be domain specific. The method may include determining at a rule-based translator 304 if the input text element matches a translation rule, and if so, the output text is determined using the translation rule.

Title: Large intestine-washing instrument
Inventor: BAZOS PANAGIOTOU DIMITRIOS
IPC: A47K7/08
Filed: 1999-07-14
Abstract: The invented enema-type instrument is meant for washing up the large intestine of the man and, occasionally, that of pets.  It can be used by individuals with no assistance. The said instrument is half-an-inch in diameter, and screwable on the shower head having the same diameter. The head of the instrument cone is fitted in the rectum and, thanks to the water pressure and the long deep breaths, it can fill the large intestine with the proper quantity of warm water destined, when eliminated, to sweep the waste and noxious matter from the body. The enema can be repeated until the large intestine is completely clean and the water gets out clear from the rectum. The daily use of said instrument dispenses the user from constipation, cures the existing haemorrhoids or prevents the eventual formation thereof, and protects the large intestine from cancer. The results are evident if the bath side can be used by the user as a seat.
