  • Publication number: 20240074321
    Abstract: A dielectric transducer for use in a sensor, actuator or generator comprising a plurality of layers of transducer foils, wherein an electrically contactable and conductive layer forming an electrode layer is applied to at least one side of each transducer foil. Expediently, at least two contact elements are provided, each of which is arranged at least partially in a recess or in a through-channel and extends over at least one layer of transducer foils, adjacent electrode layers being electrically conductively connected to different contact elements. Since adjacent electrode layers are connected to different contact elements, intended use is possible, and bringing together several contact lines is advantageously not necessary. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for producing a multilayer dielectric transducer for use in a sensor, an actuator or a generator, as well as an actuator, a sensor or a generator.

  • Publication number: 20190050633
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method of digital image analysis includes obtaining first digital video of a human subject that indicates facial expressions of the human subject; performing micro-expression analysis on the human subject using the first digital video; comparing results of the performed micro-expression analysis with content of a presentation determined to have been provided to the human subject at the same time that particular portions of the digital video were initially captured; and modifying a manner of performing interaction with the human subject or other human subjects based on the comparing of results.

  • Publication number: 20170172946
    Abstract: A method of producing a biologic liquid sampling tablet is disclosed and includes molecularly imprinting a polymer over a matrix of an analyte of interest for biological testing; and removing the matrix from the imprinted polymer to form a porous tablet. The tablet is sized to be inserted in an ampoule or human oral cavity.
