Abstract: Various embodiments of the disclosure are directed to a scene reconstruction and machine learning system. In embodiments, the system comprises a storage medium configured to store image data, one or more scene models, one or more relightable matter fields, and information related to a machine learning model. In one or more embodiments, the system comprises an input circuit configured to receive image data characterizing light in a scene. In embodiments the system includes a processor. In embodiments the processor configured to reconstruct a scene model representing the scene using the image data. In embodiments the processor is configured to extract a relightable matter field from the scene model representing the object, store the scene model and the relightable matter field representing the object in the storage medium, apply the relightable matter field as an input to the machine learning model, and generate an output from the machine learning model.

Abstract: Described is the use of the cooling agents N-Ethyl-p-menthane-3-carboxamide and 2-Isopropyl-N,2,3-trimethylbutyramide (popularly known as WS-3 and WS-23 respectively) and mixtures thereof as flavor and saltiness enhancers wherein the cooling properties are imperceptible or barely perceptible.

Abstract: Disclosed is a liquid composition containing N-Ethyl-p-menthane-3-carboxamide and 2-Isopropyl-N,2,3-trimethylbutyramide (popularly known as WS-3 and WS-23 respectively), its preparation and its applications as a cooling sensate and as a flavoring agent. The present invention provides a composition characterized in that it comprises N-Ethyl-p-menthane-3-carboxamide and 2-Isopropyl-N,2,3-trimethylbutyramide in a ratio by weight in the range of 60/40 to 30/70 with the corresponding crystallization point being below 15° C. Preferably a weight ratio of 52/48 to 42/58 is employed corresponding to a crystallization point below ?20° C. Such compositions have the advantages of being liquid at room temperature, easy to use as a cooling agent or a flavoring agent with no need to melt the normally crystalline forms of 2-Isopropyl-N,2,3-trimethylbutyramide (melting point 62° C.) and N-Ethyl-p-menthane-3-carboxamide (melting point 98.7° C.).

Abstract: A graphics computer programming language, called the BDT Language, is disclosed for the description of three-dimensional objects and real-time interactions among them in a three-dimensional space. The BDT Language consists of a User Level Command Script and a corresponding Language Level Program Code. The User Level Command Script consists of command lines each having a mnemonical name followed by a list of arguments. The Language Level Program Code consists of a corresponding number of program lines each having an operation code for the command followed by a list of arguments. The Language Level Program Code is further compressed into a BDT File for efficient storage and download for viewing by a client user with a Web Browser. A BDT Interpreter is also devised to parse the BDT File into instructions for a separate display Engine for final rendition into the originally created set of three-dimensional objects.
