Abstract: Multiview calibration is essential for accurate three-dimensional computation. However, multiview calibration cannot be accurate enough because of the tolerances required in some of the intrinsic and extrinsic parameters that are associated with the calibration process, along with fundamental imperfections that are associated with the manufacturing and assembly process itself. As a result, residual error in calibration is left over, with no known methods to mitigate such errors. Residual error mitigation of the invention may be performed inline with a given calibration approach, or as a secondary processing step. Residual error mitigation aims at modifying the original parameters that have been estimated during an initial calibration process. These new, modified parameters are then used for triangulation and depth estimation of scene information.

Abstract: A system and method for identifying the presence of an occupant in a vehicle. The system includes a first sensor positioned within a seating area of a seat and having a corresponding sensitive zone passing through the seating area vertically, and a second sensor positioned within a back rest area of the seat and having a corresponding sensitive zone passing through a chest area of an occupant horizontally. The first sensor is adapted to sense coarse movements adjacent to and farther from the sensor while the second sensor is adapted to capture both coarse and finer movements, such as breathing and heartbeats.

Abstract: [bis[2-[bis(phosphonomethyl)amino]ethyl]amino]methylphosphonic acid metal salt may be used as a scale inhibitor in wellbore applications. Said scale inhibitors and related methods may incorporate controlled release characteristics. For example, a scale inhibition method may include introducing [bis[2-[bis(phosphonomethyl)amino]ethyl]amino]methylphosphonic acid metal salt (e.g., as a particulate thereof or adsorbed in a porous particle) into a wellbore penetrating a subterranean formation; heating the Compound I to a temperature of 150° F. or greater while in the wellbore and/or in the subterranean formation so as to release the Compound I; and inhibiting scale in a portion of the wellbore and/or the subterranean formation.

Abstract: A display board is provided. The display board may include a left panel, a left-middle panel, a center panel, a right-middle panel, a right panel, a left-top fold section, a right-top fold section, a left-bottom fold section, and/or a right-bottom fold section. The display board may be configured to be placed in at least a display configuration and a closed configuration. The left panel and the left-middle panel may intersect with an exterior orientation. The right-middle panel and the center panel may intersect with the interior orientation. The right panel and the right-middle panel may intersect with the exterior orientation. The left-middle panel and the center panel may intersect with an interior orientation. The front sides of panels that intersect at the exterior orientation may face away from each other in the display configuration and in the closed configuration.

Abstract: Described herein are example systems and methods of user interfaces on a product dispenser. The product dispenser includes a touch-to-pour user interface configured to provide a pattern of haptic feedback to a user while a touch is sensed on the touch-to-pour user interface. At the same time, the product dispenser is configured to dispense a product while the touch is sensed on the touch-to-pour user interface. The pattern of haptic feedback is dependent upon the product being dispensed from the product dispenser.

Abstract: A method and system for dimensioning an object are provided. A system for dimensioning an object includes a camera associated with a dimensioning device for acquiring an image of a scene including an object to be dimensioned, and a display associated with the dimensioning device for displaying the scene acquired by the camera. A first indicator is displayed on the display indicative of a first desired position of the object to be dimensioned, and a second indicator is displayed on the display indicative of a second desired position of the object to be dimensioned. A processor is provided for receiving the scene acquired by the camera, the first indicator, and the second indicator, and for determining one or more dimensions of the object to be dimensioned.

Abstract: A method or system for selecting or pruning applicable verbal commands associated with speech recognition based on a user's motions detected from a depth camera. Depending on the depth of the user's hand or arm, the context of the verbal command is determined and verbal commands corresponding to the determined context are selected. Speech recognition is then performed on an audio signal using the selected verbal commands. By using an appropriate set of verbal commands, the accuracy of the speech recognition is increased.

Abstract: The present disclosure is intended to describe embodiments for improving image data acquisition and processing in accelerated dynamic magnetic resonance imaging sequences. One embodiment is described where a method includes an acquisition sequence configured to acquire an undersampled set of magnetic resonance data. The undersampled set of magnetic resonance data has a pseudo-random sampling pattern within a data space acquired at a first time, the pseudo-random sampling pattern being influenced by other pseudo-random sampling patterns within the data space arising from the acquisition of additional undersampled sets of magnetic resonance data at respective times. In some embodiments, the pseudo-random sampling patterns of the undersampled sets of magnetic resonance data interleave to yield a desired sampling pattern.
