Title: Method for determining glossiness of a portion of a skin of a user
Inventor: ANDREAS BOCK
IPC: G01N21/57
Filed: 2019-11-22
Abstract: A system for determining a glossiness value of a skin of a user 200 emits polarized light 220 from a portable light source 211 directly towards the skin 201 of the user. The light source is arranged on a handheld device 210. Reflected light 230 that has interacted with the skin is measured using a sensor 212 arranged on the handheld device. A ratio between properties of the emitted polarized light and properties of the measured reflected light is determined using a processor of the handheld device. The determined ratio is used to determine the glossiness value of the portion of the skin of the user and the glossiness value is output. The handheld device may be a mobile phone, tablet or smart watch, and may use an integral light source or the display and the camera as the light source and sensor. Different parts of the display (310,320,330 Fig. 3) may be activated sequentially. A skin care product may be recommended based on the measurement of glossiness.

An object’s information is therefore associated with a person upon interaction between them, to improve re-identification using the object information in addition to person information. Multiple cameras (3a, 3b) (e.g. video cameras) may acquire the images from surveillance sub-areas (2a, 2b). The correlated object information from at least two sub-areas in the images may be compared and a person may be re-identified in the event of a match. The person’s action may comprise taking the object across two different surveillance sub-areas.

Title: Method for generating slice data for the layerwise manufacture of 3D objects from particulate material
Inventor: Christopher Pleass
IPC: B29C64/386
Filed: 2022-06-08
Abstract: A method for generating slice data from a virtual build volume for the additive manufacture of one or more objects within an actual build volume, comprises the steps of: receiving one or more object models; (b) positioning the model(s) in the virtual build volume; (c) generating slice data by dividing the virtual build volume into groups of parallel planar slices stacked in the vertical direction, each slice corresponding to a layer within the actual build volume; wherein the slice thickness is progressively increased, preferably non-linearly, from one group to the next, such that the slice thickness of an upper group is greater than the slice thickness of a lower group with respect to the vertical direction. The slice thickness of upper layers may be more than the intended layer thickness in the actual build volume; the intended layer thickness is constant. The increase in slice thickness may be determined empirically or may be determined from a model based on one or more build parameters to determine a non-linear expansion function. The method allows for better compensation to dimensional inaccuracies caused by shrinkage and compression of lower layers.

Title: Systems and methods for new radio (NR) cell addition measurement
Inventor: SRIRAM SUBRAMANIAN
IPC: H04W52/02
Filed: 2023-01-05
Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for a user equipment (UE) connected to a network using FR1 and configured for mmWave beam measurement to communicate using FR2. The UE receives, from a base station, measurement configuration information including an indication of measurement opportunities. The UE determines that a current data traffic type is associated with mmWave communication. In response to the current data traffic type being associated with the mmWave communication, the UE performs an FR2 cell addition measurement decision. The FR2 cell addition measurement decision may be based on one or more of signal quality feedback, sensor input, UE motion state, and geographic (geo) location information associated with FR2 cell information. Based on the FR2 cell addition measurement decision, the UE suppresses or selects a next measurement opportunity of the measurement opportunities for measuring one or more mmWave signals.

IPC: A61B17/02
Filed: 1991-11-19
Abstract: An insert (50) is provided to be attached to a shield (24) on a surgical trocar obturator handle (30). The insert is actuated by the surgical trocar cannula handle (30) so that it causes the shield to expose the sharpened obturator tip after insertion of the obturator and shield within the cannula. After usage, the insert is deactivated so that the shield again covers the obturator. The obturator can then be removed from the cannula handle and obturator shield, and the obturator handle can be discarded safely. <IMAGE>
