Abstract: A number of devices co-located at a geographic location can broadcast and receive tokens. Tokens can be exchanged using a communication link having limited communication range. Tokens that are received by a device can be stored locally on the device and/or transmitted to a trusted service operating remotely on a network. In some implementations, the tokens can be stored with corresponding timestamps to assist a trusted service in matching or otherwise correlating the tokens with other tokens provided by other devices. The trusted service can perform an analysis on the tokens and timestamps to identify devices that were co-located at the geographic location at or around a contact time which can be defined by the timestamps. A group can be created based on results of the analysis. Users can be identified as members of the group and invited to join the group.

Abstract: A plurality of mass points are generated on a designed virtual garment and stable conditions of the plurality of mass points are simulated by elastic force acting between the mass points and force acting between a human body model and each of the mass points. A result of the simulation is displayed on a display unit (6) and, when the design is changed, a distance at which the elastic force becomes zero is changed so that a re-simulation of the stable conditions of the mass points is carried out. Thus, even if the design of the garment is changed, a real time and precise simulation can be carried out.

Title: Method and arrangement for the time-resolved spectroscopy using a photon mixing detector
Inventor: CORRENS NICO
IPC: G01J3/28
Filed: 2009-02-21
Abstract: The present invention relates to a solution for time-resolved spectroscopy, wherein the sample to be analyzed is illuminated by a modulated light source, and the spectrum reflected therefrom is recorded in a time-resolved manner and evaluated. In the method according to the invention for time-resolved spectroscopy, a sample to be analyzed is irradiated by a modulated light source having short light pulses, and the radiation emitted by the sample is represented via imaging optical elements and a spectral-selective element on a sensor disposed in the image plane, and the signals thereof are evaluated by a control and regulating unit, and/or stored. The sensor disposed in the image plane is a PMD sensor, which in addition to the intensity values also determines the running times of the radiation emitted by the sample, and forwards the same to the control and regulating unit. Although PMD sensors were originally intended for object recognition, particularly in traffic, the use thereof in many other technical fields is conceivable and advantageous. The solution provided herein describes the use of PMD sensors in spectroscopy, particularly for the time-resolved analysis of samples. However, the use of PMD sensors is also possible in Raman spectrometry, or for the measurement of luminescence, such as for differentiating phosphorescence and fluorescence light.
