Title: Optical power modulation
Inventor: BORGOS THOMAS A
IPC: A61B5/022
Filed: 2007-11-21
Granted: 2014-01-16
Abstract: A vital sign measurement device includes a sensor fixation device, a sensor frame held by the sensor fixation device, an optical sensing system 104 held by the sensor frame, and an output unit. The sensor fixation device is adapted to be placed against an anatomical location of a subject, within which is an artery. The optical sensing system 104 includes an optical waveguide, an optical source device to supply optical energy to the optical waveguide, and an optical detector to detect an amount of optical energy exiting the optical waveguide. The optical sensing system 104 senses an arterial pulse from the compression or flexing of at least a portion of the optical waveguide, which results in a reduction of the amount of light exiting the optical waveguide. The output unit generates a measure of the vital sign based at least in part on a received signal from the optical detector.

Title: Detection of objects represented in images
Inventor: OVERETT GARY
IPC: G06K9/00
Filed: 2009-06-03
Granted: 2015-09-24
Abstract: The invention relates to computer vision, in particular detection and classification of objects captured in a video stream of images. The invention provides a memory efficient method of storing images that have been pre-processed for use in object detection. The method is based on using histograms of orientation. The invention also includes methods for training and using weak classifiers that use this pre-processing of images. A first weak classifier uses the total count of two orientation values in a histogram as an index to a two dimensional confidence table to determine a confidence value. The second weak classifier projects one or more total counts of orientation values in a histogram into a scalar value that is then used in a one dimensional confidence map to determine a confidence value. Aspects of the invention include methods, computer systems and software.

Title: Approach in controlling DSP scale in the Bayer process
Inventor: LA TIMOTHY
IPC: C01F7/47
Filed: 2010-04-05
Granted: 2015-06-25
Abstract: The invention provides a method of controlling silica in the liquor circuit of the Bayer process. The method involves addition of a promoter material to enhance the precipitation of DSP and includes adding one or more silica dispersion materials or dry silica forms to those parts of the circuit where precipitation of DSP and removal of silica from solution is desirable; for example the desilication stage of a Bayer process plant. The removal of DSP from solution reduces silica concentration in the liquor and thereby enables better control of process issues such as silica contamination in alumina product and DSP formation in later stages of the process where precipitation as scale onto vessel walls and equipment is problematical. As a result, the invention provides a significant reduction in the total cost of operating a Bayer process.
