    摘要: The present invention relates to photon counting. In particular, a photon-counting data acquisition module is provided. The photon-counting data acquisition module comprises a signal input unit and one or more data acquisition channels, each channel adapted for converting at least one train of pulses received from the signal input unit to a counter signal. Each data acquisition channel comprises a pulse maximum identifier and a discriminator/counter pair comprising a discriminator and a counter. The pulse maximum identifier is configured to identify a maximum of a pulse in the at least one received train of pulses. The discriminator is configured to be triggered, by a detection of a maximum of a pulse in the at least one received train of pulses, to compare the pulse with at least one signal threshold to generate the counter signal. Alternatively, the counter is configured to be enabled in response to a detection of a maximum of a pulse to generate the counter signal.

    摘要: In a hair-cutting unit (6) of a shaving unit (3), a supporting member (30) surrounding and supporting an external cutting member (10) is present, and further a holder (40) mounted to the supporting member (30) is present. A base portion (7) of the shaving unit (3) comprises a hair-collecting chamber (50), a drive shaft (60) extending through an opening (71) in a bottom portion (70) of the base portion (7), and a first shielding member (72) surrounding this bottom opening (71). The holder (40) comprises a second shielding member (42) surrounding an opening (41) in the holder (40), wherein, in a coupled condition of the hair-cutting unit (6) and the base portion (7), the first shielding member (72) and the second shielding member (42) together surround the drive shaft (60) and thereby seal the bottom opening (71) relative to the hair-collecting chamber (50).

    摘要: A light guide member (100, 200, 300, 400) for a power device (10) includes a ring-shaped body (34) adapted to be disposed within a housing (22) of the power device (10). The ring-shaped body (34) has an outer surface (63) that is contoured to complement an inner surface (50) of the housing (22), and includes a light receiving surface (44, 46) and a light emitting surface (48). The ring-shaped body (34) further includes a light coupling portion (42) adapted to accommodate a light source (30, 32) and configured to direct light emitted by the light source (30, 32) to the light receiving surface (44, 46). Light received by the light receiving surface (44, 46) propagates through the ring-shaped body (34) via internal reflection to the light emitting surface (48) where the light is directed out of the light guide member and uniformly illuminates a portion (53) of an outer surface (52) of the housing (22) of the power device (10).

    摘要: The invention provides for a magnetic resonance imaging system (100, 300). The magnetic resonance imaging system comprises: a subject support (120) configured for moving a subject between a loading position (121) and an imaging position (200); a receive magnetic resonance imaging coil (114) configured for being placed on the subject; and a light detection system (115) comprising at least one ambient light sensor for measuring light data (144). The light detection system is any one of the following: mounted to the main magnet such that the light data is measured from the imaging zone and mounted to the receive magnetic resonance imaging coil. The execution of the machine executable (140) instructions by a processor (130) cause the processor to: move (500) the subject support from the loading position to the imaging position; acquire (502) the light data using the at least one ambient light sensor when the subject support is in the imaging position; determine (504) if the receive magnetic resonance imaging coil is positioned for acquiring magnetic resonance imaging data using the light data; and provide (506) a signal (146) if the receive magnetic resonance imaging coil is positioned for acquiring the magnetic resonance imaging data.

    摘要: There is provided a personal care apparatus that is configured to connect to a display apparatus. The personal care apparatus comprises a first control unit configured to: determine a current operation mode of the personal care apparatus as a usage mode or a control mode, and detect a first predetermined user maneuver. The first predetermined user maneuver corresponds to a control operation of the personal care apparatus in the usage mode and corresponds to a control operation of the display apparatus in control mode. When the first predetermined user maneuver is detected, the first control unit is further configured to: perform the control operation of the personal care apparatus if the determined current operation mode is the usage mode, or transmit a control signal corresponding to the control operation of the display apparatus to the display apparatus if the determined current operation mode is the control mode.

    摘要: A method for preparing immersive video data prior to processing into an immersive video. The method comprises receiving immersive video data containing one or more images of a scene, the scene comprising one or more image regions, and obtaining a relevance factor for at least one of the image regions, the relevance factor being indicative of the relative importance of the image region to a viewer. The immersive video data is separated into one or more sets of region data, wherein each set of region data corresponds to the data of one or more image regions and, based on the relevance factor of an image region, a bitrate is selected at which the set of region data corresponding to the image region is to be sent to an external processing unit.
