Abstract: A stereoscopic vision system uses at least two cameras having different parameters to image a scene and create stereoscopic views. The different parameters of the two cameras can be intrinsic or extrinsic, including, for example, the distortion profile of the lens in the cameras, the field of view of the lens, the orientation of the cameras, the positions of the cameras, the color spectrum of the cameras, the frame rate of the cameras, the exposure time of the cameras, the gain of the cameras, the aperture size of the lenses, or the like. An image processing apparatus is then used to process the images from the at least two different cameras to provide optimal stereoscopic vision to a display.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein are directed to optical systems creating an optical image on an image sensor, the optical image having at least one foveated region of interest created using at least one localized magnification optical feature on an optical surface. The optical system can be useful to increase the number of infrared pixels that are used to image a specific target which is only in a part of the object scene, while still being able to image the whole scene in the RGB part of the spectrum. In a preferred embodiment, the optical system is used in an automotive scenario to image with higher resolution the driver in order to more efficiently run face tracking and recognition algorithms.

Abstract: A process for separating an aqueous emulsion including an aqueous phase and an non-aqueous phase into separated aqueous and non-aqueous phases, to provide a recovered non-aqueous phase, and to provide a recovered aqueous phase containing an acceptable level of the non-aqueous phase. In the process, at least one body, and preferably two or more bodies, of polymeric material with a high surface area, typically a foam material or polymer chips, is used in a horizontal flow treatment system to break the emulsion and thus provide both the aqueous and non-aqueous phases as two separate flows. A wide range of polymers can be used in the system as the polymeric material including polyurethane, polypropylene, polystyrene, polyester, and polyethylene. If a very low level of non-aqueous phase in the effluent is required, for example to meet potable water standards, then a Kozlowski polyurethane, as described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,239,040, is preferred as the last Polymeric material body.

Abstract: A linear element, especially a spectacle side, of the type comprising a flexible metal core coated with a flexible elastomer for comfort and/or appearance. Its structure is composed of a plurality of rigid plastic rings placed in fixed positions around predetermined areas of the flexible metal core so that each can serve as a point of intermediate mechanical attachment of the flexible elastomer with respect to the core. The cross section of the rings are inscribed within that of the elastomer surrounding it.

Abstract: A method for regulating the power supplied to a steam turbine by a pressurized water nuclear reactor driving an electric current generator supplying a network by utilizing the movement of control rods in the reactor and the by-passing of a fraction of the steam produced by the reactor out from the turbine circuit. In the case of electrical uncoupling between the generator and the network or load rejection, the parameter determining the position of the control rods is selected as the greater of two values of a reference temperature. The by-passing of the steam is kept in operation and the operation of the reactor remains automatic. The opening signal for the by-pass valves is modified by a gain signal determined from a signal representing the power level. The invention is particularly applicable to the regulation of the power of pressurized water nuclear power stations.
