Abstract: A system and method for human motion recognition are provided. The system includes a video sequence decomposer, a feature extractor, and a motion recognition module. The video sequence decomposer decomposes a video sequence into a plurality of atomic actions. The feature extractor extracts features from each of the plurality of atomic actions, the features including at least a motion feature and a shape feature. And the motion recognition module performs motion recognition for each of the plurality of atomic actions in response to the features.

Abstract: The present system and the method relate to adding product information to patient record. A product database stores the product information corresponding to a product, while a patient database stores the patient record corresponding to a patient. A product detector detects a product identifier corresponding to the product information and generates a product identifier message. The patient detector detects a patient identifier corresponding to the patient record and generates a patient identifier message. An adding module adds the product information to the patient record based on the patient identifier message and the product identifier message.

Abstract: Braking system comprising a brake booster with electric motor driving the push rod of the piston of the master cylinder via a ball-screw connection and actuated by a control rod. In the casing connected to the master cylinder, the brake booster comprises an actuator piston guided in translational movement by at least two guide pins which are parallel to the axis of the master cylinder and which is driven in translational movement by a ball screw of which the screw, driven by the motor, is offset with respect to the axis of the master cylinder. The screw collaborates with a nut translationally as one with the actuator piston, and a bore of the actuator piston receives a boost piston equipped with a reaction disc and with a plunger piston connected to the control rod.

Abstract: A method and system for handling media at a communication entity, wherein the media is associated with a communication session that is capable of entering an active state and an inactive state. The method comprises determining when the communication session is in an inactive state, causing the media associated with the communication session to be stored when the communication session has entered an inactive state, and causing the stored media to be conveyed to a user of the communication entity upon determination that the communication session has re-entered an active state.

The processor is configured to receive the identifier and to determine an inventory status of at least one product associated with the identifier, and operate the indicator associated the location where the tag based upon the inventory status to provide information about the inventory status.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method for systematizing provisioning of two bins replenishment systems. The system comprises a database and a reader. The database stores location information and product identification for each product, the location information including rack identification, row information, and bin information. The reader receives an input from a user corresponding to a product to be provisioned, extracts from the database location information by correlating the input with the product identification, and outputs the location information to the user. The method comprises inputting a product identification corresponding to a product to be provisioned, extracting from a database location information corresponding to the product identification, and outputting the extracted location.

Abstract: According to one aspect there is an apparatus for tracking medical products. The apparatus includes a storage depot having a plurality of storage compartments, and an imaging unit having a first camera adapted to observe the storage compartments to track medical products therein.
