Abstract: Provided is a method for determining depth motion relative to a time-of-flight camera in a scene sensed by the time-of-flight camera. The method includes determining a first auxiliary depth image from a first set of phase images out of a sequence of phase images of the scene. The sequence of phase images is taken by the time-of-flight camera for a single time-of-flight depth measurement. Further, the method includes determining a second auxiliary depth image from a second set of phase images out of the sequence of phase images. The phase images of the second set of phase images are different from the phase images of the first set of phase images. Additionally, the method includes determining information about depth motion relative to the time-of-flight camera for at least part of the scene based on a comparison of depth values represented by pixels in the first auxiliary depth image and the second auxiliary depth image.

Abstract: It is described a system for measuring the length of a road section, comprising two on-board devices installed on board respective vehicles. Each on-board device comprises an overtaking sensor providing information indicative of any overtaking between the vehicle on board of which it is installed and the other vehicle, a traveled distance meter and a processing unit. When it detects that the vehicle has overtaken the other vehicle on the basis of the information provided by the overtaking sensor, the processing unit enable a measurement of the distance that the vehicle is traveling along the road section by the traveled distance meter. When it detects instead that the vehicle has been overtaken by the other vehicle on the basis of the information provided by the overtaking sensor, the processing unit disables the measurement of the distance that the vehicle is traveling along the road section by the traveled distance meter.

Inventor: WENSVOORT GERT
IPC: G01N33/68
Filed: 2018-02-05
Abstract: The invention shows that inflammation in metabolic syndrome is augmented by a hitherto overlooked lock- and-key activation of the elastin receptor, a protein involved in vascular (blood vessel) inflammation and elastin repair, with the C-peptide, a small protein that is produced in a 1:1 ratio alongside with widely known insulin. The elastin receptor is the lock that is activated by a key motif of amino acids (PG-domain) found in C-peptide and in breakdown products (PG- domain-fragments) thereof. Until now, no one has ever discovered this lock-and-key interaction between the two, now providing novel inroads in diagnosis, prevention and development of novel compounds for treatment of metabolic syndrome, exploiting the finding that not only the normal keys of the elastin receptor (elastin peptides), but also the C-peptide, a peptide we produce together with insulin every time glucose rises in our blood after a meal, interacts in a lock-and-key mode with the elastin receptor.

Abstract: A process for the treatment of a hydrocracking unit bottoms recycle stream, and preferably the fresh hydrocracker feed to remove heavy poly-nuclear aromatic (HPNA) compounds and HPNA precursors employs, in the alternative, an adsorption step which removes most of the HPNA compounds followed by an ionic liquid extraction step to remove the remaining HPNA compounds, or a first ionic liquid extraction step which removes most of the HPNA compounds followed by an adsorption step to remove the remaining HPNA compounds. Ionic liquids of the general formula Q + A -  are identified for use in the process; organic polar solvents are identified for removal of the HPNA compounds in solution. Suitable adsorbents are identified for use in packed bed or slurry bed columns that operate within specified temperature and pressure ranges.

Abstract: Systems and methods may support identification and redesign of critical thin segments in a 3D model that are below 3D printer resolution. Identification of critical thin segments may include segmenting cross-sectional slices of the 3D model into printable segments and non-printable segments and using a machine learning model trained using geometrical features computed on thin regions to classify the non-printable segments as critical or non-critical. Redesign of critical thin segments may include thickening the critical thin segments such that the segment size of the critical thin segments satisfy a thickening criterion with respect to the printer resolution and smoothing sharp corners added to the cross-sectional slice at an intersection between the critical thin segment and a neighboring printable segment. Redesign of the critical thin segments may account for tolerable overhang.

Abstract: Described in the present application are methods of producing silane-crosslinked polymer membranes at moderate temperatures using acid catalysts that, in certain embodiments, result in membranes with unexpectedly high permeabilities and selectivities. In certain embodiments, grafting and crosslinking of the silanes occur by immersing a preformed membrane in a solution comprising a silane and an acid catalyst. Alternatively, in certain embodiments, grafting of silanes to a polymer occurs in the presence of acid catalyst in solution and subsequent casting and drying produces crosslinked membranes. In certain embodiments, an acid catalyst is a weak acid catalyst. Also described in the present application are asymmetric crosslinked polymer membranes with porous layers. In certain embodiments, crosslinked cellulose acetate membranes have permeability up to an order of magnitude greater than the permeability of unmodified cellulose acetate membranes. The membranes have porous layers with a high porosity due to their processing in moderate conditions.
