Title: Automated analysis of image contents to determine the acquisition location of the image
Inventor: MOULON PIERRE
IPC: G06T19/00

Granted: 2023-01-12
Abstract: [0093] Techniques are described for using computing devices to perform 
automated operations for determining the acquisition location of an image using 
an analysis of the image's visual contents. In at least some situations, images 
to be analyzed include panorama images acquired at acquisition locations in an 
interior of a multi-room building, and the determined acquisition location 
information includes a location on a floor plan of the building and in some cases 
orientation direction information - in at least some such situations, the 
acquisition location determination is performed without having or using 
information from any distance-measuring devices about distances from an 
image's acquisition location to objects in the surrounding building. The 
acquisition location information may be used in various automated manners, 
including for controlling navigation of devices (e.g., autonomous vehicles), for 
display on one or more client devices in corresponding graphical user 
interfaces, etc.

Title: Skin therapy device
Inventor: NELSON LLOYD
IPC: A61H23/02
Filed: 2022-01-27
Granted: 2023-11-02
Abstract: Skin therapy device 
Abstract 
The skin therapy device combines the mechanical stimulation and 
cleansing in the form of vibration with optical stimulation from LEDs.  
5 The device combines these two elements without sacrificing the 
effectiveness of either the mechanical cleansing/stimulation or optical 
stimulation by passing the light through the mechanical elements that 
are in contact with the skin. The light from the LEDs does not pass 
around the mechanical elements, such as around opaque brush fibers, 
10 but passes through the mechanical elements.

Abstract: There is described a thermal recording system which utilizes a donor element comprising a substrate and a thermal transfer material layer having a dye-containing phase which is amorphous and wherein the dye or dyes present in the amorphous phase form a continuous film. Imagewise heating of the medium transfers portions of the transfer layer to a receiver sheet, thus forming an image. The transfer layer may also include a non-dye phase comprising a thermal solvent. During the heating of the donor element, the crystalline thermal solvent melts and dissolves or liquefies at least a portion of the dye-containing phase, thereby lowering the temperature at which transfer of the transfer layer occurs.
