Abstract: A method for providing an animated art experience to a user includes a user device receiving an image of an art piece selected by the user. The user device obtains information about the art piece. The user device presents a three-dimensional (3D) animated image that corresponds with the selected art image. Upon receiving an action by the user caused by a rotation or tilt of the user device, the user device provides a depth perspective view in correlation with the action and associated viewer angle of the art image such that further portions of the art image become visible. A background and a foreground of the image appear to move naturally as actions and associated viewer angles change.

Abstract: A method of removing microplastic particles from a water-based liquid, comprising the exposure of the liquid to a solid surface on which is retained a sorbitan monooleate surfactant, in a concentration suitable for entrapping substantially all microplastic particles. The method is useful for removing microplastic particles and microfibres from fresh and saline natural waters, effluent water, such as grey water, storm water and waste waters from industrial processes, in addition to any kind of product based on water, such as mineral waters, milk, fruit juices, beverages, pharmaceutical and veterinary products.

Abstract: A system and method for performing autofill of fields in a web page are disclosed. The method may include: obtaining user data associated with a user device used to access one or more web pages from a web server; obtaining site data from data communication messages between the user device and the web server; determining, using a page classifier module, if a current web page from the one or more web pages includes at least one input field for autofill; when the current web page is determined to include at least one input field for autofill: using a field classifier module to identify one or more input fields for autofill from the at least one input field; generating, based on one or both of the user data and site data, one or more values for the one or more input fields; and performing an autofill of the one or more input fields with the one or more values.

Abstract: Embodiments generally relate to a method of creating a graphic file having a personalised message for printing on a stationery product. The method comprises receiving an unformatted message comprising a string of characters; displaying on a display device at least one font option for selection by a user; receiving a font selection from the displayed options; applying the font selection to the unformatted message and arranging the unformatted message into at least one line of characters to produce a formatted message, wherein the line has a writing axis along which the characters are positioned; generating an altered formatted message from the formatted message; and generating a graphic file based on the altered formatted message.

Abstract: A housing (70) for a battery-powered electronic device is provided, the housing (70) comprising a wireless charging coil assembly (50) adapted to selectively wirelessly charge the battery. An adapter (1) has first and second ends, the first end comprising a tip (5) adapted to be inserted into a charging socket in the electronic device and the second end comprising a magnetic connector (10) suitable for magnetic connection to a complementary charging or data transfer cable. At least two electrical connectors (20; 120) are further disposed on the adapter (1) and which are selectively electrically connected to the tip (5).

Abstract: An interactive video subscription service is disclosed. The interactive video subscription service has a web based application. The web based application has a main transmission source, a secondary transmission source, and at least one tertiary transmission source. The main transmission source, the secondary transmission source and at least one tertiary transmission source has video and audio signals. Wherein the main transmission source is controllable by a broadcaster, and the web based application is viewable by a plurality of subscribers.

Abstract: Oligonucleotide primers and probes for detecting Ancestry informative marker (AIMs) polynucleotides that contain a single nucleotide polymorphism or that contain an insertion or deletion, are provided, as are methods of using the oligonucleotide primers and probes to draw an inference as to a trait of an individual. The trait can be, for example, biogeographical ancestry, a pigmentation trait, responsiveness to a drug, or susceptibility to a disease. Also provided are methods of determining the proportional ancestry of an individual. Reagents and kits also are provided.

Abstract: A measurement device and a method for indicating the ratio of two or more substances having different dielectric constants which form a body of material is described. The measurement device comprises an oscillator (1), a transmission line (5) connected at one end to the oscillator (1) and a probe unit (7) connected to the other end of the transmission line (5). The oscillator (1) transmits an oscillating signal via the transmission line (5) to the probe unit (7), where the probe unit (7) contacts with the body of material. The difference in voltage amplitude between two points in the transmission line (5) is measured, and is indicative of the ratio of the two or more substances.
