Abstract: Video cyclic sexual movement detection and synchronisation apparatus (10) includes a selector (12), an analyser (14) and a output generator (16). In use, the apparatus (10) receives an input signal (18) which comprises a sequence (94) of video frames (20), each frame (20) comprising a plurality of image areas (22). In a selection phase, the selector (12) selects one of the image areas (22) as a subject area (24) and another of the image areas (22) as a reference area 26. In an analysis phase, the analyser (14) analyses a set (28) of the video frames (20) to determine a subject speed parameter (30) which relates to the speed of movement of the subject area (24) relative to the reference area (26). In a synchronisation phase, the output generator (16) generates an output signal (38) which comprises a speed signal (40) which is dependent on the subject speed parameter (30).

Abstract: The present invention provides organic compounds which are capable of releasing carbon monoxide under physiological conditions or pH trigger, and to the use of such compounds for conditioning a cell, tissue or organ, for example, to protect against ischaemic injury during a transplant event.

Abstract: According to an aspect of the present disclosure, a stimulator apparatus is configured for providing stimulation to a human or animal body. In some embodiments, the stimulator apparatus includes a control housing; an electrical power source; contact connection; an object sensor within the control housing adapted to detect at least one control feature of proximity, gesture, movement and colour of an object and/or body part within a motion detection distance range of the control housing; and control circuit means adapted to distinguish the control feature or features of the object or body part in order to vary one or more stimulating parameters of the electrical output of the stimulator apparatus.

Abstract: Tents and canopies are ubiquitous for outdoor recreation and gatherings. Tents and canopies are poorly lit, especially during night time. Camping lights such as lanterns are ineffective for lighting the entire space of a tent or canopy. To address these issues, a lighting apparatus can improve the quality of lighting inside a tent or a canopy by lighting a tent using a plurality of flexible strips having lighting elements thereon and providing a housing enclosing a lighting controller circuit for controlling the lighting elements. The flexible strips are electrically coupled to the lighting controller and extends away from the lighting controller. The housing can be hung inside, near the top center point of the tent or canopy to illuminate not only the area inside the tent or canopy, but also the tent or canopy itself. The lighting apparatus has a unique physical design suited for tents, canopies, and automobiles.
