Abstract: A defect inspection system is provided for inspection of defects in the surface of a sample. An array of light sources is used, with different light sources providing light to the sample from different directions. A main direction of illumination is defined with highest intensity, and this direction evolves over time. By providing varying directional illumination instead of blanket illumination, it becomes easier to detect defects.

Abstract: The invention relates to a system (102) for providing biofeedback to a person (104). The system (102) comprises a source (106) for generating a source signal (108) and a transducer (110) for generating a measurement signal (112) in response to a physiological parameter (114) indicative for mental relaxation of the person (104). The system (102) furthermore comprises a filter (116) for variably filtering the source signal via modifying a cut-off frequency in response to the measurement signal (112) and an interface (118) for providing a biofeedback signal (119) to the person on the basis of the source signal as variably filtered by the filter (116).

Abstract: A space control system and a detection system are disclosed. The detection system is configured for distinguishing a moving living object, e.g. a human being, from a moving machine object in a space. The system comprises an imaging apparatus configured for producing a plurality of images over time of at least a part of the space. The images have a good spatial resolution. The system also comprises a processor configured for determining motion signals of the moving living object and the moving machine object from the plurality of images. The processor is configured to transform the motion signals to a frequency domain and distinguish in the frequency domain between motion signals related to moving living objects and motion signals related to the moving machine objects. Accordingly, the system is enabled to detect at least one of the living object and the machine object in the part of the space on the basis of the distinguished motion signals.

Abstract: The present invention relates to healthy lifestyle management. In particular to a device for priming a person (10), comprising a detector (2) for detecting when the person (10) expresses or should express a predetermined behavior, a stimulus unit (4) for providing the person (10) with a sensory stimulus (14, 16, 21), and a control unit (3) for controlling said stimulus unit (4) to provide the person (10) with a sensory stimulus (14, 16, 21) when it has been detected that the person expresses a predetermined behavior and to provide the same person (10) with the same sensory stimulus (14, 16, 21) when it has been detected that the person (10) expresses or should express said predetermined behavior. A further aspect of the invention relates to a method for priming a person and a computer program for carrying out said method.

Abstract: A device (1) is described for positioning electrodes on a user's scalp. It comprises a housing (3), for example a headpiece of a headphones device, which can be put around a user's head. An elastic element (11) and a plurality of electrodes are positioned, so that once the housing (3) is put around the user's head, the elastic element (11) at least partly follows the curvature of the user's head. The stress in the elastic element (11) due to stretching thereof caused by putting the housing around the user's head causes the elastic element (11) to exert pressure on at least some of the plurality of electrodes towards the scalp. Hereby, effective contact of the plurality of electrodes to the scalp is facilitated.
