Abstract: To enable better sharing and preservation of immersive experiences, a graphics system reconstructs a three-dimensional scene from a set of images of the scene taken from different vantage points. The system processes each image to extract depth information therefrom and then stitches the images (both color and depth information) into a multi-layered panorama that includes at least front and back surface layers. The front and back surface layers are then merged to remove redundancies and create connections between neighboring pixels that are likely to represent the same object, while removing connections between neighboring pixels that are not. The resulting layered panorama with depth information can be rendered using a virtual reality (VR) system, a mobile device, or other computing and display platforms using standard rendering techniques, to enable three-dimensional viewing of the scene.

Abstract: This invention relates to recombinant human antibody molecules. The antibodies bind fungal antigens, for example from Candida spp. Human antibody encoding genes targeting clinically relevant Candida epitopes have been isolated from single B cells from carefully selected donors and screened with specified types of protein or cell wall extract. The panel of purified, fully human recombinant IgG1 mAbs generated displayed a diverse range of specific binding profiles and demonstrated efficacy in a disease model. The fully human mAbs and derivatives thereof have utility in the generation of diagnostics, therapeutics and vaccines.

Abstract: Determining a time synchronization inaccuracy value between a first node and a second node. A PTP packet is received including Node IDs representing respective transport nodes along a first path, and from the second node Node IDs are obtained representing respective transport nodes along a second path. Furthermore, a first common node of the first path and the second path is determined. The time synchronization inaccuracy value between the first node and the second node is calculated. By including Node IDs in received PTP packets before forwarding them to a node, the node is enabled to determine a first common node. Thereby, the node may calculate relative time inaccuracy values with respect to the other access network nodes, which may be used to decrease inaccuracy time synchronization for co-ordination functions.
