Abstract: The electric heater for clothes drying devices, object of the present invention, does not require the large dimensions currently required to provide high powers. Moreover, the particular shape of the resistive element reduces the vibrations transmitted to the apparatus and, therefore, the noise perceived by the user. The particular zigzag shape of the heater determines a lesser tendency for dust to be deposited on the heating element and increases safety against short circuits in case of filament breaking and/or wire deformation occurring when the same is subjected to high operating temperatures.

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.
