20100163684 | SELF OPENING HINGES - A self opening hinge comprises a tubular member with a set of circumferentially spaced blades extending longitudinally between opposite end portions. It can be folded by bending the blades to bring the end portions together and when released will naturally return to the straight condition under the spring action of the blades. The blade which will be located on the inside of the fold when the member is in its folded condition is configured with a convex circumferential curvature as viewed from the axis of the member when in its unfolded condition, namely reversed in curvature as compared with the other blades. In this way the stress on the inside blade when the member is folded is reduced as compared with a conventional hinge where all the blades follow a circular tube profile and are concave as viewed from the central axis. | 07-01-2010 |

20130217346 | SENSING AND COMMUNICATING DATA FROM MOVING ANIMALS - Sensing and communicating data from moving animals is described. In various embodiments a logging and communications device is attached to a wild animal such as a bird; the device senses environmental, physiological or behavioral data about the animal and communicates that data wirelessly to other devices (be they on other animals in the environment or at a scientist's base station). This enables scientists to obtain empirical data about animals in their natural environment without disturbing that environment unduly and with improved data retrieval. In various embodiments the device is physically small and lightweight whilst incorporating sensors such as global positioning systems, pressure sensor, light sensor or others and may be used solely to retrieve data or for both logging and communications. | 08-22-2013 |

A processor is configured to identify a portion of the depth map as a candidate object for foot tracking, determine a central skeleton representation of the identified portion, determine a location of a toe of the user's foot and a location of an ankle of the user's foot, based on the central skeleton representation, and calculate an orientation of the user's foot based on the determine locations of the toe and the ankle. | 07-16-2015 |
20150248775 | IMAGE PROCESSING - There is described an image processing method in which a scene is repeatedly imaged to form a series of input images. For at least a subset of the input images, a colour calibration procedure is conducted which populates a foreground colour histogram with the frequency of occurrence of colour values in a stencil area of the input image, and populates a background colour histogram with the frequency of occurrence of colour values outside of the stencil portion of the input image. For at least a subset of the input images, a colour replacement procedure is conducted which updates the stencil area based on a determination, from the colour values of pixels within the input image, of likelihood values representing the likelihood of pixels belonging to an image area of interest, the likelihood value for each colour value being determined from a combination of the foreground and background colour histograms, replaces the original colour values of pixels within the updated stencil area of the input image with replacement colour values, and displays the image on which colour replacement processing has been conducted. In this way, a stencil area is determined based on foreground/background histogramming, and used both to define an area to which colour replacement processing is to be conducted, and also an area for use in further populating the colour histograms to calibrate the colour replacement processing. | 09-03-2015 |
