The container with calorie information display is an electronic display device that is adapted for use with food containers. The container with calorie information display is used to display nutritional information about the food that is stored in the container. The container with calorie information scans the nutritional label of the items being stored in the container and electronically displays the information on a display that is adapted to fit on the container. Alternative embodiments of the disclosure include a memory function to permanently store nutritional information for repeatedly stored items and an optical character recognition function and scale function that allows for the display of the total nutritional contents of the container.

Image processing apparatus, monitoring system, image processing method, and program

A state acquisition unit (2020) acquires a state of a monitoring target in a captured image captured by a camera (3040). A monitoring point acquisition unit (2040) acquires, from a monitoring point information storage unit (3020), a monitoring point corresponding to the state of the monitoring target acquired by the state acquisition unit (2020). The monitoring point indicates a position to be monitored in the captured image. A presentation unit (2060) presents the monitoring point on the captured image.

Eye tracking method, head-mounted display, and computer readable storage medium
11372477 · 2022-06-28 · ·

The disclosure provides an eye tracking method, an head-mounted display (HMD), and a computer readable storage medium. The method includes: capturing, by the first camera, a first eye image of a first eye of a wearer of the HMD; capturing, by the second camera, a second eye image of the first eye of the wearer; constructing a first eye model of the first eye based on the first eye image and the second eye image; capturing, by the first camera, a first specific eye image of the first eye of the wearer; obtaining a plurality of first specific eye landmarks in the first specific eye image; identifying a first eye pose of the first eye of the wearer based on the first eye model and the first specific eye landmarks.

Image reading apparatus, image forming apparatus, and method of controlling image reading apparatus

Conveyance modes include a registration mode accompanied with skew correction and a registrationless mode unaccompanied with skew correction. When a jam occurs, the controller interrupts a job, and invokes blank-feed processing starting from a state with all sheets re-set. On invoking blank-feed processing, the controller checks the conveyance mode and recognizes the number of jams. If the conveyance mode is the registration mode and in addition the number of jams has not reached a threshold number of jams, the controller invokes blank-feed processing in the registrationless mode.

Augmented reality based user interfacing
11350071 · 2022-05-31 ·

A display system renders a motion parallax view of object images based upon multiple observers. Also, a headset renders stereoscopic images that augment either physical objects viewed through the headset, or virtual objects projected by a stereoscopic display separate from the headset, or both. The headset includes a system for locating both physical objects and object images within a stereographic projection. Also, a proprioceptive user interface defines interface locations relative to body parts of an observer, the body parts include the head and the shoulders of the observer. The observer may enable a process associated with the interface location by indicating an intersection with the interface location with a physical object, such as a wand or a finger of the observer.

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETECTING MEDICAL CONDITIONS
20220148172 · 2022-05-12 ·

A method of detecting the presence or absence of a particular medical condition for a patient. The method comprises acquiring at least one image of an area of interest of the patient's body and identifying a first region of interest within the at least one acquired image corresponding to a first anatomical structure of interest and a second region of interest within the at least one acquired image corresponding to a second anatomical structure of interest. The method further comprises evaluating the first and second regions of interest, detecting the presence or absence of the medical condition based on the evaluation of the first and second regions of interest, and generating an electrical signal indicative of the detected presence or absence of the medical condition.

Actuation for a focus adjusting head mounted display
11318375 · 2022-05-03 · ·

A head mounted display (HMD) includes an electronic display configured to display a virtual scene to a user, an optics block, an eye tracking system, and a varifocal actuation that mechanically changes a distance between the optics block and the electronic display. The varifocal actuation block is configured to change a location of an image plane of the HMD and includes a motor, a power screw coupled to the actuating motor configured to turn responsive to actuation of the motor, and a nut sled on the power screw that is coupled to the electronic display. The nut sled is configured to move back and forth along a length of the power screw responsive to the power screw being turned by the motor that results in movement of the electronic display relative to the optics block.

Robotic gripper for writing and object creation

This disclosure relates generally to a robotic gripper to hold a writing and object creation device for writing and object creation. The robotic gripper includes clamping unit, spring loaded slider unit and outer housing unit. The clamping unit include a finger collet with three or more flexible finger positions equispaced within 360 degrees with two areas of contact on each finger in front part for firm gripping. The spring loaded slider unit include a middle housing to transfer a force from the writing and object creation device to a force sensitive resistor (FSR). A micro actuator induces a required force to the writing and object creation device based on feedback from the force sensitive resistor. The middle housing includes a plunger shaft connected with a preload spring. The outer housing unit configured to hold a micro actuator, cotter pins, locator pins to the micro actuator, and a push pull key.

Method and system for providing voice recognition trigger and non-transitory computer-readable recording medium
11315557 · 2022-04-26 · ·

According to one aspect of the invention, there is provided a method for providing a voice recognition trigger, comprising the steps of: estimating a first distance, which is a distance between a device and a user, on the basis of proximity information detected by the device, and estimating a second distance, which is a distance between the device and a location where a voice detected by the device is uttered, with reference to information on the voice detected by the device; and determining whether the voice detected by the device is an object of voice recognition, with reference to similarity between the first distance and the second distance.
