Abstract:
Exemplary embodiments enable an enhanced direct-viewing optical device to make customized adjustments that accommodate optical aberrations of a current user. In some instances a real-time adjustment of the transformable optical elements is based on known corrective optical parameters associated with a current user. In some implementations a control module may process currently updated wavefront measurements as a basis for determining appropriate real-time adjustment of the transformable optical elements to produce a specified change in optical wavefront at an exit pupil of the direct-viewing device. Possible transformable optical elements include refractive and/or reflective and/or diffractive and/or transmissive characteristics that are adjusted based on current performance viewing factors for a given field of view of the direct-viewing device. Dynamic repositioning and/or transformation of corrective optical elements may be based on a detected shift of a tracked gaze direction of a current user of the direct-viewing device.

Abstract:
An electrical machine having a rotor component configured to rotate with respect to a stator component includes a sensing arrangement to sense electrical, magnetic, and/or mechanical machine parameters during machine operation. The electrical machine also includes a fluid sprayer coupled to a cooling controller. The cooling controller activates the fluid sprayer to spray cooling fluid on a portion of the electrical machine in response to in response to the sensed electrical, magnetic, and/or mechanical machine parameters.
Abstract:
Described embodiments include a system, method, and program product. A described system includes a circuit that determines a substantial correspondence between (x) a perceivable feature included in a border region of a selected digital image and (y) a perceivable feature included in each other digital image of a plurality of digital images. A circuit gathers the determined substantial correspondences. A circuit generates data indicative of a border region-overlap status of the selected digital image. A circuit adds the data to an omitted-coverage list. A circuit iteratively designates a next digital image from the plurality of digital images as the selected digital image until each digital image has been designated. This circuit initiates processing of each of the iteratively designated next digital images. A circuit identifies a possible non-imaged portion of the region of interest. A circuit outputs informational data indicative of the possible non-imaged portion.
Abstract:
Described embodiments include a system, method, and program product. A described system includes a circuit that extracts a human-perceivable feature included in each medical skin image of a plurality of medical skin images. Each medical skin image includes a respective portion of a region of interest of a surface of the skin of the individual human, and was acquired by a handheld device. A circuit determines a substantial correspondence between (x) a human-perceivable feature included in a border region segment of a selected medical skin image and (y) a human-perceivable feature included in each medical skin image of the plurality of medical skin images other than the selected medical skin image. A circuit gathers the determined substantial correspondences. A circuit outputs informational data indicative of a possible non-imaged portion of the region of interest of the skin of the individual human adjacent to the selected medical skin image.
Abstract:
Exemplary methods, systems and components enable detection and/or monitoring and/or control of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) exposure of target body-related portions of a user operating a telecommunication device. In some embodiments a risk-assessment output is provided based on a safety threshold or predetermined intrusion level of EMR exposure.
Abstract:
Techniques for ability enhancement are described. Some embodiments provide an ability enhancement facilitator system (“AEFS”) configured to enhance voice conferencing among multiple speakers. Some embodiments of the AEFS enhance voice conferencing by recording and presenting voice conference history information based on speaker-related information. The AEFS receives data that represents utterances of multiple speakers who are engaging in a voice conference with one another. The AEFS then determines speaker-related information, such as by identifying a current speaker, locating an information item (e.g., an email message, document) associated with the speaker, or the like. The AEFS records conference history information (e.g., a transcript) based on the determined speaker-related information. The AEFS then informs a user of the conference history information, such as by presenting a transcript of the voice conference and/or related information items on a display of a conferencing device associated with the user.
