  • Publication number: 20240087142
    Abstract: A method of tracking a user's toothcare activity comprises receiving video images of a user's face during, e.g. a toothbrushing session, and identifying, in each of a plurality of frames of the video images, predetermined features of the user's face. The features include at least two invariant landmarks associated with the user's face and one or more landmarks selected from at least mouth feature positions and eye feature positions. Predetermined marker features of a toothcare appliance, e.g. a brush in use are identified in each of the plurality of frames of the video images. From the at least two invariant landmarks associated with the user's nose, a measure of inter-landmark distance is determined. An appliance length normalised by the inter-landmark distance is determined. From the one or more landmarks selected from at least mouth feature positions and eye feature positions, one or more appliance-to-facial feature distances each normalised by the inter-landmark distance is determined.

  • Patent number: 11910804
    Abstract: An objective of the disclosure is to provide compositions containing vegetable oils and an anti-oxidant system to prevent oxidation of the triglycerides in the vegetable oil in food products, in particular in products which are often stored for a long time. The antioxidant system should not give an undesired colour, and neither an undesired taste, to a food composition. Additionally, it should be a natural compound and/or common food ingredient, and fitting to the food composition with regard to taste and colour. This has been achieved by providing a food composition containing vegetable oil and apple cider vinegar, wherein the weight ratio of citric acid and malic acid to total organic acids in the apple cider vinegar is more than 2%.
