Abstract: Systems, methods and apparatuses for tracking at least a portion of a body by fitting data points received from a depth sensor and/or other sensors and/or “markers” as described herein to a body model. For example, in some embodiments, certain of such data points are identified as “super points,” and apportioned greater weight as compared to other points. Such super points can be obtained from objects attached to the body, including, but not limited to, active markers that provide a detectable signal, or a passive object, including, without limitation, headgear or a mask (for example for VR (virtual reality)), or a smart watch. Such super points may also be obtained from specific data points that are matched to the model, such as data points that are matched to vertices that correspond to joints in the model.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining the remaining run time (?ti) of a battery (4) that is supplying power to an appliance (2). The method comprises the steps of: —during operation of the appliance (2) measuring the voltage (Ui) supplied by the battery (4) at different points in time (ti) in order to obtain time-voltage-pairs (t,U,), and—calculating the remaining run time (?ti) of the battery (4), wherein the calculation is based on the measured time-voltage-pairs (ti, Ui) and on a relationship between the measured voltage (Ui), the corresponding point in time (ti) and the total run time (T1) of the battery (4) which can be derived from a time dependent formulation of the Nernst equation for this relationship.
