Abstract: An apparatus for calibrating output from an image classifier. The apparatus has an image classifier trained to compute, from an image, confidence values for each of a plurality of skin conditions potentially depicted in the image. The apparatus has a processor to compute a probability score for at least one skin condition by adjusting an associated confidence value using information from an incidence corrected data set which is a plurality of images resampled according to data about an incidence of the skin condition in a population from which the image was captured.

Abstract: Method of processing an image of the skin is disclosed. The method comprises the receipt of skin image data, the generation of simulated images with artificial transformation and the analysis of the simulated images to form a vector from extracted features.

Abstract: A linear friction welding head apparatus for dual axis forging, the apparatus including three sets of orthogonal actuators for providing X-, Y-, and Z-planes of apparatus movement for providing Y-axis oscillation, a first forge load along a first forge axis, and a second forge load along a second forge axis. A method for dual axis forging for welding including providing a welding head for applying first and second forge loads along X- and Z-forge axes to weld at more than one interface. The forge loads may be applied at right angles to each other and have magnitudes corresponding to weld interface length.

Abstract: A cellular radio communication system is provided for transmitting data over a plurality of transmission links. The system includes means for generating a modulated signal by applying a constant amplitude envelope modulation scheme to data to be transmitted across poor quality transmission links and amplifier means for non-linearly amplifying the modulated signal. The system can additionally include means for generating a second modulated signal by applying an amplitude dependent modulation scheme to data to be transmitted across higher quality transmission links and amplifier means for linearly amplifying the second modulated signal. Using a constant amplitude envelope modulation scheme, such as GMSK or MLCAM for poorer quality links means that for these links signals can be amplifier non-linearly at higher gains.

Abstract: A combination plastic and gas injection nozzle assembly and method of operation in which the nozzle assembly includes a plastic resin passage, a closure member for the plastic resin passage, a gas flow passage, and a closure member for the gas flow passage all coaxial with respect to one another. Actuating cylinders are provided for moving both closure members between open and closed positions. The actuating cylinders being positioned coaxial with the other elements to eliminate off-set loading of the nozzle components. A sequential molding operation is disclosed in which a plurality of mold cavities defined by a single mold assembly are injected by one or more nozzles with plastic and a gas to form hollow spaces in the molded article. The cavities are injected with plastic one at a time to reduce the required mold clamping forces and enable independent control of plastic injection into each cavity.
