Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of treatment of ocular pathologies by administration of a NGF, which comprises more than 50% by weight of the NGF isoform of SEQ ID NO: 1. Said NGF is particularly useful in the treatment of ocular pathologies where the proliferation and survival effect of NGF is desired and where the proapoptotic effect of p75NTR is detrimental.

Abstract: A cabinet lock includes a cabinet-door latch and a cabinet-door catch. The cabinet-door latch is configured to be fixed to a cabinet panel for movement with the cabinet panel between a closed position blocking access to a cabinet opening and an opened position exposing the cabinet opening. The cabinet-door catch is configured to engage selectively with the cabinet-door latch to block the cabinet panel from moving from the closed position to the opened position.

Abstract: A railway vehicle has two side walls facing each other to define a passenger compartment and a front end portion, which has two LIDAR devices arranged at the upper side corners of the front end portion; each of the LIDAR devices has a field of view of 360° about its axis, and such axis is oriented with a forward inclination and with a lateral outward inclination.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for estimating the value of the angle of the direction of motion or of the walk of a person who carries a device capable of measuring the basic quantities related to his/her own inertia such as a common smartphone. The device is capable of measuring for example acceleration and angular rotation and to determine its orientation relative to Magnetic North. The estimation method in question is particularly suitable for estimating the direction angle of the individual's motion regardless of how the individual carries the device able to measure the main inertial quantities and consequently this method solves the problem of the determination of the relative attitude between the reference system of the carried device and the user reference system that moves within a generic absolute reference system.

Abstract: Described is a process for reconstructing the movement of an individual who walks inside a space and who carries a device equipped with inertial sensors and a virtual representation (M) of the space. The process comprises: —an acquisition step of a first reference position (Pr1) and by choice: a first reference direction (vr1) associated with the first reference position (Pr1) or a second reference position (Pr2); —a detection step which comprises detecting, by means of the inertial sensors, a direction of movement for each step made by the individual; —a reconstruction step which comprises forming a trajectory (100) of the path of the individual, as a sequence of vectors (V1, V2, Vm); —an estimation step.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for reconstructing the behavior of an individual which provides: a detection operation, comprising recording monitoring signals using a detection apparatus carried by the subject; a mapping operation, comprising recording monitoring signals in an environment in which the behavior of the subject is to be reconstructed and the monitoring signals are to be associated with a map of the environment; an operation of reconstructing the behavior, comprising taking on as positions, over time, points on the map in which the monitoring signals recorded in the detection operation correspond to the monitoring signals recorded in the mapping operation.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a calibration method of magnetic sensors, for removing from the measurements the so-called “bias” and obtaining the actual measurement of the magnetic field. This method, in addition to measurements of such magnetic sensors, uses measurements of angular rotation sensors available in various types of commercial devices including smartphones. The present invention also relates to a corresponding system for determining the instantaneous real time orientation and/or position of a mobile device with respect to a magnetic field.
