Title: Method for detecting defect in material and system for the method
Inventor: NAKAGAWA JUNICHI
IPC: G01N25/72
Filed: 2008-09-17
Abstract: A defect on the surface or in the surface layer of a moving material can be detected by using a method comprising steps of: heating the surface of the material, obtaining thermal image data of the surface of the material using an infrared thermography camera while the surface of the material is being heated up at the heating step or being cooled down after heating, and detecting the defect by calculating Laplacian with respect to temperature of the surface represented by the thermal image data. When the thermal image data is obtained while the material is being heated up, a heating device and the camera is arranged so that thermal energy emitted from the heating device is reflected by the material to come into the camera.

Inventor: GURURAJAN PREM
IPC: G06Q10/04
Filed: 2011-07-27
Abstract: A system is provided for processing yield management and casino table data.  The system provides a graphical presentation of each games table spread, and where the game is overspread or under spread, and by how much. The table spread opportunities can also be aggregated to determine whether what is observed is a trend so that the operator can act on that trend to remedy it. An interactive graphical representation of this data combined with an ability to drill down to the underlying data to verify trends makes it possible to find opportunities to close games, open games and add or remove tables to the gaming floor so as to improve profitability. Displaying graphically how pricing of tables could be changed is particularly useful so that managers can know where opportunities exist to change pricing in order to improve profitability. An ability to drill down to a floor view makes it possible for the manager to verify the casino floor and visually see how the players are seated on tables. Displaying graphically the time periods when an opportunity to price a game differently than the current pricing to improve profitability also helps the manager understand when this happens, how long it lasts and at which price points. Displaying graphically the time periods when an unmet demand exists also helps the manager understand when this happens, how long it lasts and for which price points.

Title: Chaining animations
Inventor: GEISNER KEVIN
IPC: G06T7/20
Filed: 2010-03-02
Abstract: In applications that display a representation of a user, it may be reasonable to insert a pre-canned animation rather than animating a user's captured motion. For example, in a tennis swing, the ball toss and take back in a serve could be a pre-canned animation, whereas the actual forward swing may be mapped from the user's gestures. An animation of a user's gestures can be chained together into sequences with pre-canned animations, where animation blending techniques can provide for a smoother transition between the animation types. Techniques for blending animations, that may comprise determining boundaries and transition points between pre-canned animations and animations based on captured motion, may improve animation efficiency.  Gesture history, including joint position, velocity, and acceleration, can be used to determine user intent, seed parameters for subsequent animations and game control, and determine the subsequent gestures to initiate.

Title: Fermentation method to produce a lignocellulose-based sugar stream with enriched pentose content
Inventor: GEERTMAN JAN-MAARTEN A
IPC: C12P1/02
Filed: 2010-08-30
Abstract: A method for producing a fermented solution enriched in xylose is provided. The sugar stream that is fermented results from the hydrolysis of a lignocellulosic feedstock and comprises at least a hexose and a pentose. The method comprises fermenting the sugar stream resulting from the hydrolysis of the lignocellulosic feedstock with a microorganism that preferentially ferments the hexose over the pentose. The fermenting is conducted under aerobic conditions and comprises continuously feeding the sugar stream to a fermentation reactor at a dilution rate that converts the hexose to cell mass preferentially over the pentose, thereby reducing the concentration of the glucose in the sugar stream so that the fermented solution thus produced is enriched in the pentose relative to said sugar stream.
