摘要:
A fluid dispensing oral care implement having a low profile pump includes a head, a reservoir for storing an oral care fluid, at least one liquid outlet in the head, and a pump. The pump includes a flexible membrane movable between alternating pump intake and discharge motions. The pump includes inlet and outlet flap valves, which may be formed integrally from portions of the membrane. In one embodiment, the valves are integrally formed in the membrane as flexible cantilevered tabs movable between open and closed positions. In some embodiments, the pump may be mounted in the toothbrush head or forms the head. In some embodiments, the pump may be disposed in a neck or a handle portion of the toothbrush.

A method for combining images includes capturing a first image including a subject from a first camera. A second image is captured from a second camera and the second image includes the subject. First pre-processing functions are applied on the first image to produce a first processed image. The first pre-processing functions include applying a distortion component of a rotation matrix to the first image. The rotation matrix defines a corrected relationship between the first and the second image. Second pre-processing functions are applied on the second image to produces a second processed image. The second pre-processing functions include applying the rotation matrix to the second image. The first processed image and the second processed image are blended in a processing unit to form a composite image.
摘要:
A mechanical energy harvesting toothbrush may employ circuits and devices to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. Such conversion can be done using piezoelectric devices to convert stresses and strains from bending of the toothbrush head and/or bristles during use, and can be done using electromagnetic generators involving passing a magnet through a coil to induce current. The resulting electric energy may be rectified, and stored in a storage device, such as a capacitor or rechargeable battery. A switching circuit may be configured to detect the level of energy stored in the storage device, and to close an electrical connection when a predetermined level of energy (e.g., a charge) has been reached. The predetermined level may correspond to a desired amount of brushing. The closing of the electrical connection may be used to power output devices when that desired amount of brushing has been reached.

An image sensor system includes an image sensor that can be exposed with light from an illuminated scene to produce a secondary image, a meter sensor that can be exposed with light from the illuminated scene to produce a meter secondary image, and an image processor. The image processor can be configured to determine an average pixel color in the secondary image. The image processor can also be configured to determine a white balancing point in response to the secondary image average pixel color, the meter secondary image, meter calibration information for the meter sensor, and the image calibration information for the image sensor.

A method for removing a red eye from an image includes (1) calculating a weighted red value for each pixel in the image from red, green, and blue color values and a luminance value of each pixel in the image, (2) selecting a plurality of pixels in the image having weighted red values greater than a threshold as red eye pixels, and (3) correcting some of the red eye pixels to remove the red eye from the image. The weighted red value for a pixel is calculated as follows: f = c 1 r + c 2 g + c 3 b Y , wherein f is the weighted red value, r is the red color value, g is the green color value, b is the blue color value, c1 is a first weight given to the red color value, c2 is a second weigh given to the green color value, c3 is a third weight given to the blue color value, and Y is the luminance.

摘要:
An image sensing system provides for accurate lens shading correction even when there is significant lens shading asymmetry and non-uniformity. A two-dimensional B-spline technique is used to determine lens shading correction surfaces. The number of zones is selected to achieve accurate correction of center, edge, and corner regions of an image. Separate lens shading correction surfaces are calculated for a set of standard illuminants to permit lens shading correction to be adapted based on the illuminant used to capture the image.
