摘要:
The present invention relates to a device and method for obtaining pulse transit time and/or pulse wave velocity information of a subject (14). Based on a set of image frames (19) of a subject (14) and detected motion of body parts of the subject (14) regions of interest are selected from different non-moving body parts and pulse transit time and/or pulse wave velocity information is obtained from acquired PPG signals extracted from different regions of interest and the respective determined physical distance between the respective regions of interest.

The invention relates to a device (1) and an according method for optoacoustic imaging of an object. The device (1) comprising an irradiation unit for irradiating a region of interest (3) of the object with electromagnetic radiation (6), in particular light, and a detection unit (9) for detecting acoustic, in particular ultrasonic, waves generated in the region of interest (3) of the object upon irradiation with the electromagnetic radiation (6), wherein the detection unit (9) is configured to detect the acoustic waves at one or more point-like detection locations, which are located outside of the region of interest (3) of the object. The point-like detection locations can be given by, e.g., focus points (19) of acoustic detection elements (23), point-like detection elements or point-like or pinhole apertures. The invention allows for improved and reliable optoacoustic imaging, in particular in view of dermatology applications.

Provided is a digital mirror apparatus (1) including: a camera (2) that captures an image of a user; a display (3) having a display surface located at a position that allows the user to visually identify the display; and a controller that outputs to the display the image of the user that is captured by the camera, wherein the controller: horizontally flips a live image of the user that is being captured by the camera to generate a mirror image; reads a reference image to be compared with the mirror image; and superimposes the reference image on the mirror image to output to the display a display image in a region of the display in which the reference image and the mirror image overlap one another.
摘要:
A method of operating a portable ultrasound device to display digital video information from a video camera includes loading instructions into a memory of the device that configures processor electronics to process digital video signals. When a request for the video is received, the ultrasound device can ready itself to receive digital video information and display an image at a display of the ultrasound device based at least in part on the video information. In one embodiment, the video modality is enabled when the portable ultrasound device detects that the digital camera device has been connected to a port.

Provided is a vehicle information presenting apparatus for use in an autonomous vehicle that switches driving control between autonomous driving control, in which the vehicle is driven autonomously, and manual driving control, in which the vehicle is driven manually by a driver. The vehicle information presenting apparatus includes a driving attention level estimator (15) configured to estimate a driving attention level of the driver, and an information presentation controller (16) configured to switch information to present to the driver according to the driving attention level of the driver estimated by the driving attention level estimator (15).
摘要:
The invention relates to a device for determining the state of a persons' skin and is characterized in that, as a flat sheet that can be applied to the skin (9) and can be secured flat thereon, it has a self-adhesive film, in particular skin plaster flat sheet (1) made of a non-conductive film adapting the skin topography, which film has a window-like recess (2) passing transversely through it, in particular for direct application of a cosmetic or medical formulation (91) from outside (as) onto the skin (9), wherein at least two contact electrodes (3; 3') are arranged as sensors on the skin side (hs) of the film, in particular of the skin plaster flat sheet, and can be applied to the skin, in that the electrodes are further connected to an impedance and resistance and/or capacitance measurement unit (5) via a voltage supply unit (4) that can be supplied with current by means of NFC technology, from which a preferably passive communications unit (6) with an antenna loop (7) issuing from it can be supplied with the measurement data, which can be called up as skin resistance and/or capacitance data by means of NFC-capable external communications unit with suitable "App", such as a mobile phone, reader or smartphone.
摘要:
A system and method for treating livestock may include a ramp for containing dairy livestock and one or more mobile units configured to travel on the ramp, below the dairy livestock, and perform at least one action related to a treatment of the livestock. A mobile unit may be adapted to travel to a predefined location within a stall, and attach a milking equipment unit to a cow in the stall. A plurality of mobile units and a central management unit may be configured to dynamically cause at least some of the plurality of mobile units to each perform a portion of a treatment or task.
