  • Determining Emotions Using Camera-Based Sensing
    Publication number: 20180314879
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a computer-readable non-transitory storage medium embodies software that is operable when executed to, in real time, capture, by a single sensor, a number of images of a user; determine, based on the number of images, one or more short-term cardiological signals of the user during a period of time; estimate, based on the cardiological signals, a first short-term emotional state of the user; determine, based on the number of images, one or more short-term neurological signals of the user during the period of time; estimate, based on the neurological signals, a second short-term emotional state of the user; compare the first estimated emotional state to the second estimated emotional state; and in response to a determination that the first estimated emotional state corresponds to the second estimated emotional state, determine a short-term emotion of the user during the period of time.

  • Determining Cardiovascular Features Using Camera-Based Sensing
    Publication number: 20180310842
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a computer-readable non-transitory storage medium embodies software that is operable when executed to, in real time, capture a number of images of a user; and determine a time-series signal for the user based on the plurality of images. The signal includes one or more segments that are physiologically plausible and one or more segments that are physiologically implausible. The software is further operable to identify one or more of the physiologically plausible sub-segments based on one or more pre-defined signal characteristics; and calculate one or more heartrate measurements based on the physiologically plausible sub-segments.

  • Apparatus for pyrolyzing waste plastic into fuel
    Patent number: 9896625
    Abstract: An apparatus pyrolyzes waste plastics into fuel. The apparatus categorizes the waste plastic, and processes the categorized waste plastic to obtain kerosene, diesel fuel, gasoline etc. The apparatus includes a first heat exchange tank, a rough fuel storage tank, a second heat exchange tank, a diesel storage tank, and a kerosene storage tank. Combustible gas is extracted from the tanks via outlets thereof and stored in a gas storage tank. The combustible gas stored in the gas storage tank is fed into a combustion chamber of a pyrolysis furnace of the apparatus. A fuel-water separate tank is connected to the bottom of the rough fuel storage tank to separate fuel from water. The separated fuel is recycled into the combustion chamber to be burned again. Recycled paper with residual plastic films thereon has to be compressed into grains to facilitate a feeding operation.

  • DETECTION OF CHRONOTROPIC INCOMPETENCE
    Publication number: 20170245805
    Abstract: Detecting chronotropic incompetence includes determining, using a processor, a baseline cardiac health measure for a user based upon an estimate of activity level for the user, validating, using the processor, the estimate of activity level for the user with a validation factor determined from sensor data and determining, using the processor, a cardiac health measure for the user from the sensor data. A signal indicating chronotropic incompetence for the user can be provided by the processor based upon a comparison of the cardiac health measure for the user with the baseline cardiac health measure.
