Abstract: The invention provides for a medical instrument (100, 300) comprising: a subject support (110) comprising a support surface (112); a camera system (118); and a signal system (148). The execution of the machine executable instructions (152) cause a processor (142) controlling the medical instrument to: receive (400) a list of selected objects (160) each with a selected coordinate (162); and signal (402) the list of selected objects.

Abstract: There is provided a method of determining a scan sequence for magnetic resonance imaging—MRI. The method comprises: receiving an indication of one or more selected imaging parameters for the MRI; and based on the selected imaging parameters, determining the scan sequence usable by an MRI apparatus to perform the MRI, wherein determining the scan sequence comprises configuring the scan sequence to modulate gradient noise arising from the MRI apparatus during the MRI to deliver a first audible signal to the patient, wherein the first audible signal is configured to perform auditory stimulation of slow wave activity in the patient.

Abstract: A method for predicting the behavior of at least one road user in a traffic situation. The method includes: obtaining a graph representation of the traffic situation, wherein nodes represent road users, edges represent interactions between the road users and define an adjacency between road users, each node is associated with a state, and each edge is associated with edge attributes; computing an evolution of the states of the nodes based at least in part on a self-evolution of the state of each considered node that is dependent on this state and mediated by a self-evolution operator; and an interaction of each considered node with other nodes that is dependent on the states of these other nodes and mediated by an interaction operator; and computing a sought property that characterizes the behavior of the at least one road user.

Abstract: A 3-D printable dual-polarized Vivaldi array may include a plurality of Vivaldi antennas having a 3-D printed modular construction that meets direct metal laser sintering fabrication design rules; a plurality of Sub-Miniature Push-on, Micro (SMPM) connectors forming a plurality of ground plane skirts supporting a lattice, each SMPM Connector having a detent. The 3-D printable dual-polarized Vivaldi array may further include a support structure between the lattice and the ground plane skirt; the ground plane skirt having a skirt swept forward angle of 40 to 60 degrees.

Abstract: The instant disclosure generally relates to a composition for treating or coloring keratin fibers, the composition comprising at least one bio-based polymer and optionally a crosslinker. The composition may also comprise pigment microparticles. The composition formed and set in situ as a solid linked coating has a substantially permanent pigment lastingness and minimally alters the keratin fibers.

Abstract: An apparatus and method wherein potential ozone layer-damaging chlorodifluoromethane (Refrigerant R-22) is substituted with a mix of less environmentally damaging refrigerants pentafluoroethane and tetrafluoroethane in chlorodifluoromethane-based air-cooling systems for low temperature applications. While less environmentally damaging than chlorodifluoromethane, the substitute refrigerant has a temperature-pressure relationship similar to that of chlorodifluoromethane, making the substitute refrigerant suitable for use with chlorodifluoromethane-based low temperature systems. In this event, it is mixed with a relatively small percentage of a lubricating oil which is compatible with both the unit refrigerant and typical R-22 system design.
