Abstract: There is provided a frame structure for stereoscopic imaging. First and second cameras may be mounted to the structure to respectively record first and second images which may be combined to produce a three-dimensional image. The frame structure comprises a casing sized and shaped to receive a beam splitting device therein and first and second camera supports mounted to a sidewall of the casing for respectively holding the first and second cameras. Each camera support comprises an outer frame defining an internal cavity to receive a corresponding camera therein, and attaching means which comprise at least three connecting portions contacting the casing sidewall and positioned around an opening of the casing sidewall. This configuration substantially prevents deformation of the frame structure due to bending.

Abstract: A method of managing water is provided, in which the water is discharged from an aggregate plant, and therefore contains a large number of fines. The water is first passed through a mesh screen to remove large particles and then collected in a sump. From the sump the water is pumped to a centrifugal cyclone, where some of the fines are separated from the water. Flocculent is then applied to the water, before the water is collected in a pond.

Abstract: An adjustable width guideway assembly for use in a conveyor for conveying articles having different widths. The assembly comprises a first moveable guide and a second fixed guide parallel to the first guide, the first and second guides defining the guideway therebetween. The first guide is moveable towards or away from the second guide between a first position, a second position and at least one intermediate position The disclosure is particularly directed towards an adjustable width guideway assembly for use in an air conveyor conveying light plastic bottles suspended in the guideway by a flange located on the bottle neck.

Abstract: A computer-based graphical user interface for graphically controlling processing of hydrological data, comprising a display menu interface listing executable tools from the group comprising one or more of: hydrological data input, hydrological data validity checking and correction, and hydrological modeling, a GUI for selecting and arranging tools from the display menu in a graphical display area to construct a hydrological process, the selected tools each being represented by icons on the graphical display, and for establishing a connection between at least one output of a first tool and an input of a second tool said tools by graphically displaying the connection between said tools representative icon and input means for receiving user input to arrange and execute said constructed hydrological data processing process.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method for differentiating between multiple sclerosis subtypes in a patient. The method comprises a) determining an amount of an IAP gene expression level in a blood sample obtained from the patient; and b) correlating the amount of the IAP gene expression level in the blood sample with the presence of a multiple sclerosis subtype in the patient.

Abstract: An efficient and non-iterative 3D post processing method and system is proposed for mosquito noise reduction, block localization and correction in DCT block-based decoded images. The 3D post processing is based on a simple classification that segments a picture in multiple regions such as Edge, Near Edge, Flat, Near Flat and Texture regions. The proposed technique comprises also an efficient and shape adaptive local power estimation for equivalent additive noise and provides simple noise power weighting for each above cited region. Temporal filtering configurations using Minimum Noise Variance Criterion are proposed for reducing temporally varying coding artifacts. A Minimum Mean Square Error or Minimum Mean Square Error-like noise reduction with robust and effective shape adaptive windowing is utilized for smoothing mosquito and/or random noise for the whole image, particularly for Edge regions.

Abstract: The present invention generally pertains to a single ram baler for baling recycled material. More specifically, the single ram baler of the present invention comprises a ram operable to move between a retracted position for receiving the recycled material and a tying position for allowing the compacted material to slightly expand before wiring the same.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a rig for a stereoscopic camera system. More specifically, the present invention pertains to a modular stereoscopic rig system. The modular rig system comprises a plurality of interchangeable bases, a first camera mounting module for mounting a first camera to one base and a second camera mounting module for mounting a second camera to the same base.

Abstract: An exercise apparatus including: a pair of platforms, each of the pair of platforms having: a base including a lower surface and a pair of opposed flanges extending upwardly from the lower surface; roller units received side-by-side in the base and being independently rotatable, each of the roller units extending between the pair of opposed flanges of the base and including at least two roller bodies spaced from one another by a groove, each of the at least two roller bodies including an outer surface, at least a portion of the outer surface being in continuous contact with the lower surface of the base; a retainer coupled to the base for maintaining the rollers units on the base; and a connector for coupling the pair of platforms to one another to provide a surface for sliding.

Abstract: A method for communicating from a first processing unit located on a first network to a second processing unit located on a second network, through a wireless network, comprising a plurality of nodes, wherein a plurality of routes is dynamically established between a first gateway and the second processing unit.

Abstract: An eye tracking apparatus includes a first image detector for capturing scene images, a second image detector fixed relative to the first image detector for capturing eye images including a pupil of a person and a reference object located within an image detection field, a processor for receiving the scene images and the eye images and outputting eye tracking images, each of the eye tracking images including a gaze point corresponding to a line of sight of the person, the processor for determining a location of the gaze point based on a calibration mapping that maps pupil location within the image detection field to the scene images and a correction mapping that corrects for movement of the reference object within the image detection field of the second image detector. Wherein the first image detector and the second image detector are coupled to a wearable accessory and movement of the reference object within the image detection field corresponds to movement of the wearable accessory relative to the person.
