Title: Method of measuring and sizing objects from an image of a human face using iris size
Inventor: SHANLEY MICHAEL P
IPC: G01B11/00
Filed: 2001-06-15
Abstract: A method for determining one or more dimensions of an object in a two- dimensional image (25), wherein the image includes the iris (10) of a human being. A size ratio is estimated between the dimension of the object and the  diameter (20) of the visible iris, by analyzing the two-dimensional picture.  Then, the dimension of the object is approximated based upon the size ratio and also based upon the invariant iris diameter. Use is made of the fact tha t the diameter of a human iris is substantially identical for all humans above  the age of two, and thus an image which includes someone's iris furnishes a measuring device for determining other dimensions in the image. The present invention is especially suited for examining, virtually trying on, and purchasing eyewear from a remote location.

Patent CA-2393320-A1 (CA)
Inventor: COLLISTER BRIAN J
IPC: B41C1/10
Filed: 2002-07-15
Abstract: An inkjet method is used to make a negative working offset lithographic printing master by imagewise application of liquid inkjet droplets that form a mask on a layer of positive-working radiation imageable material pre-coated on a hydrophilic lithographic base. The masked layer is then subjected to a developer and developed. After development, only the masked areas of the positive working imageable material remain. Since this material is hydrophobic the resulting imaged layer on the hydrophilic lithographic base may be employed as a wet offset lithographic master. Since the image that is printed by the printing master coincides directly with the image printed by the inkjetting process on the imageable material, the method is inherently negative-working. By the method of the present invention positive-working radiation imageable media is therefore employed to make a negative-working printing master.      The combination of positive working radiation-imageable medium and masking fluid of this invention may be used in the fully on-press fabrication of a negative working lithographic master, which may optionally may also be made on a re-usable base.

Title: Solar funnel shaped reflector
Inventor: CHEN CHI-GON
IPC: F21V5/00
Filed: 2002-11-20
Abstract: The present invention provides an illumination device having a curved reflector for use with a light-emitting device. The illumination device includes conical or funnel shaped lens having a top section, a bottom section, an outer.surface and an inner surface. The bottom section is enlarged and contains a hollow interior formed by the lens inner surface to receive a curved reflector. The top section contains a cavity adaptable to receive a light-emitting device so that when the light is illuminated, light is transmitted through the reflector lens. As light travels towards the bottom section, the curved reflector deflects light in the horizontal direction through the lens to prevent light from being absorbed by the base. The reflector lens outer and inner surfaces contain ridges to form a grid-like pattern to disperse light. This configuration provides an efficient means to transmit light to illuminate a surrounding area.
