Abstract: Body fluid sampling device comprising a skin-piercing element having a collection zone for receiving body fluid, the device further comprising a fluid receiving means remotely spaced apart from the collection zone so that body fluid in the collection zone will not contact the fluid receiving means initially. The collection zone takes up a very small volume of body fluid of about to 500 nl in a very short time period of less than 0.5 seconds. The fluid receiving means may have a test zone for performing an analytical reaction. Fluid sample from the collection zone is automatically or manually transported to the fluid receiving means to contact the fluid with the test zone.

Abstract: Tennis elbow, or lateral epicondylitis, is an orthopaedic condition in which the wrist extensor muscles are over-worked leading to a tendinopathy of the common wrist extensor tendon originating on the lateral epicondyle of the humerus. There are many factors that can lead to excessive workload for the extensor muscle group.  Neck, shoulder, elbow, and wrist biomechanical impairments may contribute.  Lower cervical nerve root facilitation is often important. Muscle strength and flexibility imbalances may contribute, as well. Also ergonomics, technique and repetitive tasks are important factors. Regardless, all contributing factors lead to the wrist extensor muscle group becoming overworked. All contributing factors should be addressed.  Some factors must be treated by a skilled therapist. Whereas other factors such as activity modification, exercise and bracing are managed by the patient. This invention, which can be self-applied by the patient, is a brace with elastic properties that acts on the forearm to assist the muscle action of the over-worked wrist extensor muscles.

Abstract: Techniques are described for modeling layered facial reflectance consisting of specular reflectance, single scattering, and shallow and deep subsurface scattering. Parameters of appropriate reflectance models can be estimated for each of these layers, e.g., from just 20 photographs recorded in a few seconds from a single view-point. Spatially-varying specular reflectance and single-scattering parameters can be extracted from polarization-difference images under spherical and point source illumination. Direct-indirect separation can be employed to decompose the remaining multiple scattering observed under cross-polarization into shallow and deep scattering components to model the light transport through multiple layers of skin. Appropriate diffusion models can be matched to the extracted shallow and deep scattering components for different regions on the face. The techniques were validated by comparing renderings of subjects to reference photographs recorded from novel viewpoints and under novel illumination conditions. Related geometry acquisition systems and software products are also described.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method and system to implementing telephony user account billing which incentivises shared phone usage. The owner of a phone, or other device capable of making telephony calls, would receive a credit to their phone account balance, from the telephone service provider, when they share their phone with another user and allow that user to make a phone call or other transaction by logging into their account using the shared phone, making the phone call or other mobile transaction and then returning the phone. Once the phone call or other transaction is complete the caller's own virtual account balance would be decremented as normal, but in addition a credit would be applied to the phone owner's account. The credit would be given to the phone owner from the telephone service provider and would either be a fixed amount, or an agreed percentage revenue share of the cost of the call or transaction.
