Title: Dual sensitivity browser for optical sorting machines
Inventor: HAMID GABRIEL
IPC: B07C5/342
Filed: 2010-07-05
Abstract: Inspection apparatus comprises a feed system for delivering a stream of articles to an imaging zone (6 fig. 1) at which a camera (10 fig. 1) generates image data from the stream at the imaging zone for processing by a computer (12 fig. 1) using a pattern recognition system (29 fig. 2) for identifying defects and for ranking identified defects. The computer (12 fig. 1) is coupled to a graphical user interface (14 fig. 1) to display such areas as thumbnails on the interface. The thumbnails are displayed in a space defined by at least two related defect criteria. Each thumbnail is located on a locus defined by the severity of the respective defect, and its displayed position on the locus is determined by a rule. The locus will normally trace the points in the space at which the thumbnail is classified as a defect. The graphical user interface (14 fig. 1) may display thresholds for the defect criteria. The rule may locate each thumbnail at a point on the locus at which the sum of the distances from the threshold levels is maximum, with the point further from a selected threshold being chosen if the sum is the same at more than one point. The rule may locate each thumbnail at a point on the locus at which the distance from a chosen point in the space is a maximum, the chosen point being the intersection of the lines defining the thresholds. The rule may locate each thumbnail at a point on the locus at which the distances from the thresholds satisfy a chosen formula.

Title: Cage with floating heat sink for use with a parallel optical communications device
Inventor: MCCOLLOCH LAURENCE RAY
IPC: G02B6/42
Filed: 2010-08-17
Abstract: A floating heat sink device 20 is provided that attaches to a cage 10 in a floating configuration that enables the heat sink device to move, or "float", as the parallel optical conmiunications device 71 secured to the cage moves relative to the cage. a cage housing; a heat sink having a surface 30b disposed in an opening (11) of the cage housing; and a spring clip 50 in contact with the heat sink for retaining the heat sink in contact against the cage housing while allowing the heat sink to move relative to the cage housing. Because the heat sink device floats with movement of the device, it maintains continuous contact with at least one surface of the heat sink device (20) at all times. Ensuring that these surfaces are maintained in continuous contact at all times ensures that heat produced by the parallel optical communications device will be transferred into and absorbed by the floating heat sink device.

Title: Communication terminal with situation based configuration updating
Inventor: PAPESCHI FRANCO
IPC: G06F9/44
Filed: 2010-10-21
Abstract: The invention concerns managing the functionalities of a mobile communications terminal (such as mobile phone, PDA, netbook, or laptop), part of a communications network, by detecting 10 a situation such as an event for or state of the terminal; determining 12 a functionality relevant to the situation; updating 13 the terminal configuration to make it dependent on the situation based on the relevant functionality. Routine acts and situations are recognised and associated with particular functionalities of the terminal. The invention provides a method 11 of learning to recognize and associate different situations with particular functionalities. Once a particular situation/functionality combination is determined, it can then be used on the terminal to enhance user experience. More specifically, by monitoring the terminal's inputs and outputs for the occurrence of the particular situation, the terminal can display the particular functionality associated with that situation in anticipation of its use by the terminal user. Updating the terminal configuration can include updating the configuration of the graphical user interface (GUI), while the detected situation can comprise: location of the terminal; registration to a remote service, such as social networks; communication data being sent or received; data indicating motion of the terminal (e.g. from accelerometers).

The road shape learning apparatus computes a radius of a circular arc which passes through the post-amendment entrance coordinate (A1), the post-amendment middle coordinate (B1), and the post-amendment exit coordinate (C1) and designates the computed radius as a curvature radius of the curve. This computed radius is stored in a learned data storage device as a designated curvature radius which is associated with map data stored in the map data storage device.

Title: Access control system detecting exposure to possible threat materials
Inventor: MACKLIN JON D
IPC: G01N21/25
Filed: 2012-03-23
Abstract: An access control system for sensing exposure to items of interest of a person associated with a unique identifier of a media such as a fare card or ticket is disclosed. The access control system includes a unique identifier that is associated with the media, an exposure detector, a processor and an access control point. The exposure detector detects exposure of the media to an item of interest based upon a detected optical change in a detection material of the media. The processor flags the unique identifier when exposure to an item of interest is detected and a message is communicated away from the processor to a remote location when the unique identifier is flagged. The access control point can read the unique identifier of the media and can deny entry based upon the flag. Items of interest may be chemical compounds, nuclear materials, radiological materials, biological agents or explosives. The optical change may be a change in colour or a change in reflective photoluminescence. The system can therefore detect a ticket user has been exposed to explosives, and therefore the user may pose a terrorist threat, based upon an optical change in the detection material of their ticket.
