Abstract:
A color image and a depth image of a live video are received. Each of the color image and the depth image are processed to identify a foreground, background, and an unknown region band of the live video. The unknown region band may comprise pixels between the foreground and the background. Further processing is performed to segment the pixels of the unknown region band between the foreground and the background. As such, processing is performed on the unknown region band in order to provide an improved user foreground video.
Abstract:
Generally, an antenna module includes a plurality of monopole antenna elements (e.g., 3 to 4 antenna elements) that can be coupled together by one or more switches to provide for a tunable, wideband antenna module. For example, the switches may change the overall length of the antenna such that the frequency range of the antenna is changed. The frequency response may also be controlled by a low voltage micro sized varicap, or a varactor diode, and instantiated as a tuned, resonant matching filter network residing with the antenna module. Additionally, switches may be used to “switch in” and “switch out” capacitive elements to adjust the bandwidth of the antenna. The resonant matching filter network may then be used for fine tuning the frequency of that bandwidth.

Abstract:
A seat identification system for passengers in a cabin of a commercial airliner. Four sign components, identified as the aisle, mile, row and seat components, are arranged and positioned throughout the airplane in a configuration that allows the passengers to receive information about their seats when needed. The aisle signage markers direct the passengers down the appropriate aisle which leads to their seat. The interval row markers or mile markers provide a general location of the particular row in the aircraft for the passenger's seats. The individual row markers are preferably located in the passenger service unit modules and in viewing channels in order to allow the markers to be visible from the aisle. The seat markers are located preferably on the headrest on each seat and are the final vindication that the passenger is in the correct seat.
Abstract:
A two-in-one wireless control kit is adapted to plug in a PCMCIA slot on a portable apparatus for storing and moving along with the portable apparatus and use at any time, and includes a transmitter and a receiver removably associated with each other to form one unit. The transmitter is provided at an upper side with related keys and at a lower side with at least a battery compartment for accommodating required batteries and a locating recess for receiving the receiver therein. The receiver includes a front connecting end for connecting to a related connecting port on the portable apparatus, and locating structures located at predetermined positions to removably engage the receiver with the locating recess below the transmitter, such that the associated transmitter and receiver can be plugged in the PCMCIA slot without projecting any part from the slot.

Abstract:
A shower system includes a shower area defined by a shower stall or primary wall having at least one misting nozzle coupled thereto. The primary wall is enclosed by a shower stall housing or a secondary wall, whereby an air channel is defined between the shower stall and the shower stall housing. A controller directs misted air through the misting nozzle and further activates an air flow system such that misted air within the shower area flows through and is dried in the air channel.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for functionally testing software using computer vision. Systems can include a functional testing computer vision system and a computer vision-based functional testbed system. Methods can include generating a computer vision-based testing package and functionally testing software on at least one virtualized testbed machine using the computer vision-based testing package.

Abstract:
A color image and a depth image of a live video are received. Each of the color image and the depth image are processed to identify the foreground and the background of the live video. The background of the live video is removed in order to create a foreground video that comprises the foreground of the live video. A control input may be received to control the embedding of the foreground video into a second background from a background feed. The background feed may also comprise virtual objects such that the foreground video may interact with the virtual objects.
