Title: Method and system for determining colour from an image
Inventor: LINGS BENJAMIN BUCHANAN
IPC: G06V10/56
Filed: 2011-01-17
Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to the determination of the colour of a colour sample from an image of the colour sample. In one embodiment a colour sample capture card is provided having printed thereon colour samples of known colour (for example, XYZ tri-stimulus values). An image of the test colour sample is then captured using domestically available equipment, such as a consumer digital camera or camera-equipped mobile telephone, the image also containing the colour sample capture card. In one embodiment the image is then transmitted to a remote colour determination service for colour sample colour determination. Regression analysis is then performed using the RGB colour samples in the image and known XYZ colours thereof to characterise the colour capture response of the image capture device, taking into account spatial brightness variations across the image. Having characterised the image capture device the XYZ colour of the unknown colour sample can be determined from the RGB colour thereof in the image.

Abstract: A device for estimating the acceleration of a vibrational component acting on a vehicle body in a lateral direction when a railway vehicle having a vehicle body tilting device runs in a curve section includes a sensor for detecting the acceleration acting on the vehicle body in a lateral direction, a calculation unit for acquiring track information at a running point, a running speed, and ON/OFF information of vehicle body tilting operation, and calculating a theoretical excess centrifugal acceleration .alpha.L acting on the vehicle body by the following Equations, and a calculation unit for deriving the acceleration of the vibrational component acting on the vehicle body based on the acceleration detected by the sensor and the acceleration .alpha.L determined by the calculation unit. In the case where the vehicle body tilting operation is turned ON: .alpha.L  = .eta.ON × (V2/R - g × C/G), and in the case where the vehicle body tilting operation is turned OFF: .alpha.L = .eta.OFF × (V2/R ¨ g × C/G). In the above both Equations, .eta.ON and .eta.OFF  denote correction coefficients, V denotes a running speed, R denotes a curvature radius of the track, g denotes gravitational acceleration, C denotes a cant amount of the track, and G denotes a track gauge. Thereby, a vibration generated in the vehicle body in a lateral direction is suppressed, so that the acceleration of the vibrational component can be estimated with a simple system configuration.

In a power saving management mode the productive recirculation of water by the recirculating arrangement is stopped when each sensed control parameter has reached its target level. Instead in a minimum run time mode the productive recirculation is only stopped when this minimum run time has been completed and each sensed control parameter has reached its target level. A management system (10) for installation on a reservoir to carry out the method is also disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to compositions and methods for transdermal drug delivery. The compositions can be used in a variety of applications, including treating erectile dysfunction or sexual dysfunction, treating wounds, or causing or promoting hair growth. For example, in one aspect, the present invention is generally directed to compositions for delivery of nitric oxide, transdermally and/or to a mucosal surface. The composition may include nitric oxide. The nitric oxide may be present within a first phase comprising a lecithin, such as phosphatidylcholine. In certain embodiments, the lecithin is present in liposomes, micelles, or other vesicles containing nitric oxide. The composition can take the form of a gel, a cream, a lotion, an ointment, a solution, a solid "stick," etc., that can be rubbed or sprayed onto the skin, e.g., onto the penis, vulva, or other suitable portion of the skin. The composition can also be applied to a mucosal surface in some instances. In some embodiments, a composition comprising nitric oxide is unexpectedly stable and can be stored long-term. Thus, for example, a composition of the invention may exhibit a long shelf life, with little loss or reaction of nitric oxide. This may be particularly useful for certain applications such as consumer products, including those described herein. Other aspects of the present invention are generally directed to methods of making or using such compositions, methods of promoting such compositions, kits including such compositions, or the like.
