  • NOVEL NON-INTRUSIVE APPROACH TO ASSESS DROWSINESS BASED ON EYE MOVEMENTS AND BLINKING
    Publication number: 20180055354
    Abstract: A method, which is for assessing drowsiness of a subject over a period of time, includes the steps of: acquiring gaze and blink measurements of the subject over a period of time; and statistically comparing the measurements against a plurality of gaze and blink measurements, which have been correlated to alertness, in order to produce a value representative of alertness/drowsiness.

  • Method for inhibiting corrosion of alloys employing electrochemistry
    Patent number: 7005056
    Abstract: A method for inhibiting corrosion, e.g., pitting corrosion, of alloys is provided. Particularly, the method comprises contacting at least a portion of a surface of the alloy with an aqueous solution comprising a salt of one or more rare earth elements selected from the group consisting of yttrium, gadolinium, cerium, europium, terbium, samarium, neodymium, praseodymium, lanthanum, holmium, ytterbium, dysprosium and erbium; and establishing a voltage differential between an anode comprising the alloy and a cathode in the solution at an effective level and for a sufficient period of time wherein a rare earth element oxide-containing coating is formed on the surface of the alloy to inhibit corrosion thereof.
