Title: Image pickup apparatus, control method therefor and image pickup system
Inventor: SUZUKI SATOSHI
IPC: H04N5/3745
Filed: 2013-01-10
Abstract: In an image pickup apparatus using an image pickup element including a plurality of photoelectric conversion means sharing a microlens, the number of pixels to be read is switched between the case of normal photographing and the case of live view driving. In the case of live view driving, only pixels positioned near the center of the optical axis of the microlens, the number of which is smaller than that in the case of normal photographing, are read. The image pickup apparatus realizes both normal photographing capable of acquiring an image in which the depth of field is small and which can be refocused, and live view photographing capable of displaying an image with a large depth of field and the high frame rate, thereby allowing the framing of the photographed image to be confirmed.

Title: Nuclear fusion device
Inventor: TARAS VASILOVICH STANKO
IPC: H05H1/16
Filed: 2015-10-25
Abstract: A nuclear fusion device with magnetic confinement in radial directions and the electrostatic confinement in a longitudinal direction. The positively charged anode electrode 3 is used to accelerate electrons emitted from cathode electrode 10 into the hollow space within the anode, said electrons being electrostatically trapped therein in the longitudinal direction. Ions of nuclear fusion fuel isotopes are also injected directly into the interior of the anode by ion injection means 8. Both ions and electrons are confined radially within the device by the magnetic field generated by magnet 3, said field being greater in a longitudinally central region of the anode than in the end regions thereof. The ions oscillate in within the hollow anode due to the clustering of electrons in the longitudinally central region, the speed/energy of the ions being enough for nuclear fusion.

Title: Electronic vaporiser system
Inventor: IAN MURISON
IPC: A24F40/53
Filed: 2016-09-01
Abstract: An electronic cigarette vaporiser includes a heating element 36 and a microcontroller; the microcontroller measures the airflow speed or pressure drop over an air-pressure sensor 59 or other sensor and uses that as an input to control the power delivered to the heating element. The microcontroller may compensate for a very strong inhalation by applying more power during that inhalation as compared to a very light inhalation to ensure that the heating element is kept at its optimal heating temperature. The vaporiser may comprise a module that monitors the resistance of the heating element, infers the temperature of the element from said resistance, and uses the derived temperature as a control input, or may use the resistance directly. The relationship between temperature and resistance may be empirically derived and stored in the module. The vaporiser may use multiple techniques to ensure the heating element is at its optimum temperature. The vaporiser may be approximately the same size as a cigarette and include no control buttons, and may be refilled when inserted into a refilling case, possibly via a piezoelectric pump. The vaporiser may be refillable from a cartridge.

Title: Analyzing consumer behavior using electronically-captured consumer location data
Inventor: ERIC H WEISS
IPC: G06Q30/02
Filed: 2010-10-22
Abstract: A method for performing consumer analytics comprises determining settings visited by consumers and producing inferences and/or predictions of consumer characteristics. Settings can include locations such as places of work, residences, and business or shop locations. The step of determining settings visited comprises obtaining location data, indicating geographic location over time, from a mobile device associated with a consumer, and comparing the location data with at least one location of a known setting to determine settings visited; and determining, from the settings visited, paths which consumers visited the settings between identified end point settings which are of personal relevance to the consumer. Producing inferences and/or predictions comprises analysing visits to settings in context of paths and based on this analysis, generating inferences or predictions of consumer characteristics. The method may include identifying a deviation from a pattern of behaviour previously determined and an inference may be made as to whether the deviation in behaviour results from action by a business, such as an advertisement.
