Abstract: Disclosed are systems and techniques for extracting user body shape (e.g., a representation of the three-dimensional body surface) from user behavioral data. The behavioral data may not be explicitly body-shape-related, and can include shopping history, social media likes, or other recorded behaviors of the user within (or outside of) a networked content delivery environment. The determined body shape can be used, for example, to generate a virtual fitting room user interface.

Abstract: There is provided a particle detection apparatus (30) comprising: a channel (32) including an inlet and at least one channel wall, the inlet permitting light to be introduced into the channel (32), the or each channel wall being arranged to define a channel path through which light may propagate; a light source (34) configured to introduce light into the channel (32) via the inlet, the channel (32) being shaped to guide the light to propagate along the channel path for illuminating a particle or a plurality of particles located in the channel path; and a monitoring device (36) configured to detect scattered light that is created by the illumination of the or each particle by the guided light and that leaves the channel (32) by passing through the or each channel wall.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods, compositions, kits and reagents for determining the prognosis of a clinical response in a human patient to a medicament which acts in the central nervous system (CNS) and which is a substrate of the ABCB1 protein. Further, the invention relates to a combination of medicaments for the treatment of human patients having specific polymorphisms in the ABCB1 gene.

Abstract: A heat shield for high thermal loading and particularly pulse heat loading n fusion reactors e.g. as first wall, plasma physics installations, particle accelerators, etc. contains a cooled support plate carrying a large number of shielding or limiter members on its side facing a heat source, e.g. a hot plasma. The shielding or limiter members are detachably connected to the support plate by a good thermally conducting seat, e.g. a bevel, ball or flat seat. By suitably shaping and arranging the limiter members, it is possible to substantially cover the surfaces of practically any desired shape such as, e.g., the inner wall of a toroidal vacuum vessel. As a result of their limited size, the limiter members can be adapted in a optimum manner to locally differing requirements. The size and shape of the support member can be adapted to widely differing boundary conditions.
