  • Patent number: 11578191
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the production of cellulose from coffee or cocoa husks. The cellulose extracted can be used to produce paper, card stock, and cardboard. In addition, a composite material also comprising a material that allows the release of aromas is manufactured using said cellulose. Said material is used to manufacture a laminated product for use in primary, secondary and tertiary packaging applications. Said type of article allows printing on the outer surface thereof, is biodegradable and biocompatible.

  • Patent number: 10574980
    Abstract: A video evaluation device is coupled to a video source, such as a set-top box, that obtains video data, and to a display device that presents video data received from the set-top box. Content received by the video source is communicated to the testing device, which communicates the video data to the display device for presentation to a user and generates a copy of the video data. The video evaluation device applies one or more computer vision methods and machine learned models to the copy of the video data to generate metrics identifying quality of the video data from characteristics extracted from the copy of the video data and likely user interaction with the video data. The video evaluation device testing device also communicates with an online system that combines metrics determined by the video evaluation device as well as data from other sources to identify video data quality.

  • Patent number: 8892378
    Abstract: The present application relates to a tool for detecting perforations in hydrocarbon pipelines based on the sensing system thereof. The function of said tool is to pass longitudinally through a pipeline of specific diameter, monitoring the thickness thereof and detecting any hole over the path followed and, in accordance with the data obtained, establishing the distance at which the holes are located, calculated from the starting point, the time at the instant of detection and also the circumferential position and size thereof, all the aforesaid as part of an online process implemented as the tool progresses through the target pipeline. At the end of the run, the information may be downloaded to a computer where it is available for use and for the corresponding decisions concerning integrity.

  • Publication number: 20130178933
    Abstract: The present invention describes an ocular device comprising a magnetic eye implant and a ferrofluid. The products of the invention solve the problems of the patients' position and contribute to the increase in the success rate of the surgical procedure for correcting retinal detachment, problems of severe proliferative diabetic retinopathy in those incapable of maintaining posture, of infectious retinitis, problems resulting from traumatisms and endophthalmitis. It is also possible to use the device as an auxiliary surgical element, e.g., for extracting subretinal fluid.

  • Publication number: 20110008106
    Abstract: A device for recovering the energy of sea waves, which comprises at least one floating structure intended to float on the surface of the water. Said floating structure carries at least one member (2) suspended above the surface of the water, the structure of which is designed to generate recoverable energy through the variation in height of the surface of the water relative to said member, under the effect of the ascending and descending movement of the waves. Application to recovering wave energy.
