Abstract: An image capture method may include obtaining two or more sets of images. The two or more sets of images may include a first image captured by a first image capture device and a second image captured by a second image capture device. The method may also include determining, for a set of images, two or more pairs of points. Each of the two or more pairs of points may include a first point in the first image and a second point in the second image, and the first point and the second point may correspond to a same object. The method may also include determining a first rotation matrix based on the pairs of points in the two or more sets of images. The first rotation matrix may be associated with a relationship between positions of the first image capture device and the second image capture device.

Abstract: The invention provides a method of forming a perovskite film for an optoelectronic device, the method comprising: applying a perovskite precursor solution to at least one part of a hydrophilic region of a substrate, wherein the hydrophilic region is bounded by a hydrophobic boundary; allowing the perovskite precursor solution to spread over the hydrophilic region, wherein the perovskite precursor solution is retained within the hydrophilic region by at least a portion of the hydrophobic boundary; and drying the perovskite precursor solution to form a perovskite film on the hydrophilic region.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed to perform prognostic health monitoring of a turbine engine.

Abstract: A method for delivering sports telemetry for a curling game provides players, coaches, and viewers with the detailed dynamics of a curling stone. The method is generalized to at least one computerized sports equipment in communication with at least one remote server. A sensing module of the sports equipment captures and sends an angular-motion measurement and a linear-motion measurement to the remote server. Further, a tracking module of the sports equipment sends a precise location reading to the remote server. The angular-motion measurement, the linear-motion measurement, and the precise location reading are compiled into a sports telemetry data. Subsequently, the sports telemetry data assess a plurality of summarization metrics which promotes game awareness and interest. Further, the sports telemetry data also generates at least one equipment motion animation of play-by-play breakdown of the game. Finally, an online view platform allows the general public to access the sports telemetry data.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media are configured to determine one or more weights associated with connections between nodes representing users in a first graph. The one or more weights are adjusted based at least in part on an impact metric associated with a first user based on a second graph. An influence score associated with the first user is generated based on the one or more weights.

Abstract: Inclusion complexes of pinocembrin with cyclodextrin or its derivatives and their preparation are provided. The inclusion complexes can be used to make drugs.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for resolution of a mixture of pinocembrin optical isomers, in particular a pinocembrin racemate, using a chiral primary amine or a chiral sulfinamide. The present invention also relates to a (R)-(+)-pinocembrin obtained by the method.

Abstract: Two crystalline forms of pinocembrin of formula (I): ? and ?, their preparation and their use for manufacture of pharmaceutical compositions. There exists difference between them in bioavailability. They are used for treating and preventing cerebral ischemic diseases by protective action of neurovascular unit, and enhancing blood drug level in vivo.

Abstract: A novel compound isolated from the plant Garcinia paucinervis. The compound's structure is as follows: The compound possesses a potent ability to activate caspase-3 in HeLa-C3 cells within 72 h at a low concentration of 25 ?M. The IC50 on HeLa cells for this compound was measured to be below 10 ?M, indicating a strong HeLa cell growth inhibitory effect.

Abstract: Novel polyisoprenylated benzophenone derivatives isolated from the plant Garcinia paucinervis. Among these new compounds, paucinones A-C (Compounds 1-3) contains an unexpected cyclohexane-spiro-tetrahydrofuran moiety. A 1-methylene-3,3-dimethylcyclohexane group never reported before was found in the structure of paucinone D (Compound 4). Structures of these compounds were elucidated with spectroscopic evidence. The relative stereochemistry of 1-4 was determined by NOESY correlations. These compounds a potent ability to activate caspase-3 in HeLa-C3 cells within 72 hours at a low concentration and significant cytotoxicity against HeLa-C3 cells.

Richter), succinate derivative esters, and a derivative and pharmaceutical acceptable salts thereof, for the manufacture of a pharmaceutical preparation for the treatment of dementia, particularly for the treatment of Alzheimer' disease and Vascular dementia. Through Animal experiment, it has been demonstrated that, succinate derivative esters can improve learning and memory ability in dementia rats induced by scopolamine and cyclohexenyl imine; improve learning and memory ability in dementia rats induced by ?-amyloid; improve learning and memory ability in dementia rats induced by permanent ligation of bilateral carotid; and improve memory ability of normal animals. It has the advantage of high activity, low toxicity and no inhibition to cholinesterase.
