Abstract: Digital imaging systems and methods are described for analyzing pixel data of an image of a shaving stroke for determining pressure being applied to a user's skin. A plurality of training images of a plurality of individuals are aggregated, each of the training images comprising pixel data of a respective individual when shaving with a shaving razor. A pressure model, trained with the pixel data, is operable to determine pressure being applied to the respective individual's skin. An image of a user when shaving with the shaving razor is received and analyzed, by the pressure model, to determine a user-specific pressure being applied to the user's skin by the shaving razor when a user shaving stroke is taken. A user-specific electronic recommendation to address at least one feature identifiable within the pixel data is generated and rendered, on a display screen of a user computing device.

Abstract: An AC to DC converter comprises a bi-directional switch array converter which converts a three phase AC supply at 50/60 Hz to a high frequency single phase drive for a series resonant parallel loaded tank. The tank is transformer coupled to a rectifier and filter to give a high voltage isolated DC supply to drive a load. The switching of the converter is based on control of the resonant tank to operate as close to a desired tank reference voltage as possible.

Abstract: A method and system for automated bill payment service makes use of one or more application programs, such as a bank's retail system application and a bill payment application, running on one or more servers, as well as one or more data storage devices. A customer calls, for example, an 800 number and enters identification information in response to prompts by the system. The system verifies the customer's identification and, in response to selection of a single bill payment option, prompts the customer to enter information about at least one bill payment for a payee. The system provides selection of the payee from a customer-specific bill payee list or a system-spoken payee list and various menu functions. The system automatically schedules the bill payment for the customer according to the entered bill payment information, and renders the scheduled payment to the payee for the customer.

Abstract: In motor control of electric vehicles, a snubblerless 10 KVA Matrix Converter uses discrete 65 Amp, 1200 Volt MOS Controlled Tyhristors (MCTs) to minimise commutation time and so achieve the optimum waveform quality, particularly useful when controlling induction motors in applications where the controller may demand very low output voltages. The matrix converter has significant advantages over the conventional dc link converter by eliminating the dc link capacitor.
