Title: Apparatus and method for determining an intended target
Inventor: HARDY ROBERT
IPC: G06F3/041
Filed: 2015-04-16
Abstract: The intended target of a pointing gesture in a human machine interaction (HMI) may be determined using a claimed intended target determination method. A location of the object (e.g. finger or stylus) is determined at time intervals, together with a metric associated with each of the targets. The metric is indicative of a respective target being the intended target of the object. The metric is determined based upon a model and the location of the object at the plurality of time intervals, and may determine the trajectory of the object. A Bayesian reasoning process is then used to determine the intended target from the plurality of targets based on the metric associated with each of the plurality of targets. The intended target may be an item on a graphical user interface (GUI) or a physical control. The model may be a Bayesian intentionality prediction model, nearest neighbour model, a linear or nonlinear destination reversion model, a equilibrium reverting model or mean reverting diffusion model or a bridging model (such as a Markov bridging model). Environmental information (e.g. indicating the acceleration of an associated vehicle) may also be received and used as in the model.

Title: Method for determining degree of modified potency of a medicament
Inventor: OLEG ILIICH EPSHTEIN
IPC: G01N33/68
Filed: 2014-03-18
Abstract: The invention comprises a method for determining degree of modified potency of a medicament. A medicine is a medicament comprising a therapeutic component and a homeopathic, i.e., activated-potentiated, component, wherein the activated-potentiated component has some physical, chemical or biological affect on the therapeutic component and/or the pharmacological efficacy thereof. The therapeutic component is biologically related to the starting substance of the homeopathic component. An analytical measurement of at least one characteristic parameter of the therapeutic form is made prior to its interaction with the activated-potentiated form. The same analytical measurement(s) are made and after interaction between the therapeutic and activated-potentiated forms. This data is used to confirm the presence of any modified potency is caused by the presence of molecular form in the activated-potentiated form. Further, the claimed analytical measurement of at least one characteristic parameter of the therapeutic form prior to its interaction with the activated- potentiated form and again after such interaction serves to quantify the degree of modifying potency associated with the activated-potentiated form in relative dimensionless activity units (release activity).
