A system for monitoring gluten consumption, especially in celiac people, which allows the feeding of food consumption data and updating, in real time, of the estimated amount of gluten consumed daily. Still, the present invention refers to a system for prediction that associates the possibility of an indisposition being associated or not with an undue consumption of gluten.

A 3D object sensing system includes an object positioning unit, an object sensing unit, and an evaluation unit. The object positioning unit has a rotatable platform and a platform position sensing unit. The object sensing unit includes two individual sensing systems which each have a sensing area. A positioning unit defines a positional relation of the individual sensing systems to one another. The two individual sensing systems sense object data of object points of the 3D object and provide the object data the evaluation unit. The evaluation unit includes respective evaluation modules for each of the at least two individual sensing systems, an overall evaluation module and a generation module.

A multiple-pattern fiducial for a heterogeneous imaging sensor system. The multiple-pattern fiducial includes a first pattern detectable by a first wavelength of electromagnetic energy, and a second pattern detectable by a second wavelength of electromagnetic energy.

Technical solutions are described to track a handheld three-dimensional (3D) scanner in an environment using natural features in the environment. In one or more examples, the natural features are detected using machine learning. Features are filtered by performing a stereo matching between respective pairs of stereo images captured by the scanner. The features are further filtered using time matching between images captured by the scanner at different timepoints.

A face verification method and apparatus is disclosed. The face verification method includes selecting a current verification mode, from among plural verification modes, to be implemented for the verifying of the face, determining one or more recognizers, from among plural recognizers, based on the selected current verification mode, extracting feature information from information of the face using at least one of the determined one or more recognizers, and indicating whether a verification is successful based on the extracted feature information.

The invention concerns a device and a method for detecting a tire on a vehicle to determine whether there is a single or twin tire on an axle. The device has an optical sensor for this purpose, the sensor detecting at least one region of a rim on which a tire to be determined is mounted. An evaluation unit is also provided which is designed to determine a shape of the area of the rim from the sensor signals and to generate a signal from the shape which represents the type of tire.

An electric vehicle charging system and an operation method thereof are provided. The electric vehicle charging system may include a controller, a camera configured to capture a vehicle that is present in a charging station and transmit image information about the vehicle to the controller, a guide unit configured to receive guidance from the controller and output the guidance, and a plurality of chargers provided in the charging station and communicably connected to the controller. The controller may analyze information about the vehicle based on the image information received from the camera, may guide a member vehicle registered to receive charging service to move to a charger for members, may guide a nonmember vehicle to move to a charger for nonmembers, and may adjust a ratio of the number of chargers for members to the number of chargers for nonmembers according to an estimated waiting time for charging of the vehicle. The electric vehicle charging system may transmit and receive a wireless signal on a mobile communication network constructed according to 5th generation (5G) communication.

A method is for actuating a medical imaging device for generating a second three-dimensional image dataset including a target region in a region of interest of a patient with a functional impairment. The method includes providing a first three-dimensional image dataset including the region of interest of the patient; identifying the target region based on the first three-dimensional image dataset, a partial region of the region of interest with the functional impairment being determined; determining an imaging parameter for generating the second three-dimensional image dataset based on the identified target region; and actuating the medical imaging device based on the imaging parameter for the generation of the second three-dimensional image dataset.

A method for automatically creating an equipment inventory from a plurality of images of a site. The method includes receiving, by a processor, the plurality of images of the site, labeling, by the processor, equipment present in each image of the plurality of images of the site, creating, by the processor, an overlap curve for neighboring images of the plurality of images of the site, determining, by the processor, a useful image of each side of the site based on the overlap curve, the useful image including a subset of the plurality of images, creating, by the processor, an overlay of equipment in the useful image of each side of the site, counting, by the processor, equipment present in the overlay of each side of the site, and generating, by the processor, the equipment inventory by adding a number of equipment counted in the overlay of each side of the site.

A process for a pre-acquisition auction for recycled electronic devices is disclosed herein. A plurality of pre-acquisition purchase prices are established with each of the plurality of pre-acquisition purchase prices established for a recycled electronic device in a predetermined condition, and each of the pre-acquisition purchase prices established by a winning bid from a bidder of a plurality of bidders for a recycled electronic device.
