An apparatus, method and computer program is described for detecting a pre-event signature based on sensor data, wherein the pre-event signature is indicative of a prediction of a first event; determining an event masking action corresponding to the first event; and causing performance, in response to the detection of the pre-event signature, of the event masking action for masking the first event.

Event masking

An apparatus, method and computer program is described including: generating a display pattern including features with spatial variations, wherein the spatial variations are configured to enable determination, by a first radar device, of at least one of an orientation of a first user device, position of the first user device, size of a display of the first user device, or one or more gestures associated with the display.

Device orientation detection

Introduced here are approaches to authenticating unknown persons based on variations in the properties of blood vessels over time. At a high level, these approaches rely on monitoring changes in a property of a blood vessel that occur over time. Examples of properties include the position, size, volume, and pressure of the blood vessel, as well as the velocity and acceleration of blood flowing through the blood vessel.

Biometric authentication through vascular monitoring

Introduced here are approaches to authenticating unknown persons based on variations in the spatial properties and directionality of blood flow through vessels over time. At a high level, these approaches rely on monitoring vascular dynamics to recognize unknown persons. For example, an authentication platform may examine digital images of an anatomical region to establish how a property of the vasculature within the anatomical region changed as a result of deformation. Examples of properties include the position, size, volume, and pressure of vessels included in the vasculature, as well as the velocity and acceleration of blood flowing through the vasculature.

Biometric authentication through vascular studies

The present disclosure relates to a writing instrument comprising a tubular body, a reservoir for an ink composition. The writing instrument comprises a nib comprising a switchable flow material, wherein the switchable flow material is configured to switch between a fluid flow preventing condition and a fluid flow enabling condition by a stimulus. The switchable flow material is configured to control flow of the ink composition from the reservoir to or towards a writing surface.

The management server obtains address information indicating a user's address and evaluation information indicating evaluation of a food or a restaurant performed by the user. A food search screen is provided with, as one of search filters, a search filter for filtering foods or restaurants on the basis of results of evaluation of foods or restaurants performed by residents of a certain area. If the user's address indicated by the address information is included in the certain area, the evaluation information indicating the evaluation of the food or the restaurant performed by the user is included in the results of the evaluation of the foods or the restaurants performed by the residents of the certain area.

According to an aspect, there is provided a cardiopulmonary resuscitation, CPR, device () for enhancing the delivery of CPR to a patient. The device () comprises: a patient side () for engagement with the chest of the patient; and a user side () for engagement with the hands of a user delivering CPR to the patient. One or more of the surface of the patient side () and the surface of the user side () is at least partially formed of a material with variable contact characteristics configured to be controlled so as to regulate the lateral force distribution profile at the one or more of the surface of the patient side () and the surface of the user side () from a force applied to the device () by the user and transferred through the device () to the patient. According to other aspects, there is provided a control method for a cardiopulmonary resuscitation, CPR, device and a computer program which, when executed on a computing device, carries out a control method for a cardiopulmonary resuscitation, CPR, device.

A management server obtains rating information indicating a second user's rating of a dish or restaurant, generates a first evaluation value of the first user's sense of taste based on a measurement test regarding the sense of taste, and generates a second evaluation value of the second user's sense of taste based on a measurement test regarding the sense of taste. One search filter for filtering dishes or restaurants based on rating results of the dishes or the restaurants rated by a second user who has a sense-of-taste characteristic similar to that of the first user is provided on a dish search screen. When the first user uses the search filter to filter dishes or restaurants, and when a first difference between the first and second evaluation values is in a first predetermined range, the second user's rating results are used to filter the dishes or the restaurant.

Information providing method

A management server obtains first data indicating an input value in a measurement test regarding a user's sense of taste, obtains rating information indicating the user's rating of a dish or a restaurant, generates an evaluation value of the user's sense of taste based on the first data. One search filter for filtering dishes or restaurants by using rating results of dishes or restaurants rated by sense-of-taste top scorers is provided on a dish search screen. When the evaluation value of the user's sense of taste satisfies a certain condition for the sense-of-taste top scorers, the rating information indicating the user's rating of the dish or the restaurant is included in the rating results of the dishes or restaurants rated by the sense-of-taste top scorers.

According to an aspect, there is provided a cardiopulmonary resuscitation, CPR, device () for enhancing the delivery of CPR to a patient. The device () comprises: a patient side () for engagement with the chest of the patient; and a user side () for engagement with the hands of a user delivering CPR to the patient; and an actuator configured to at least partially alter the external form of one or more of the patient side () and the user side () so as to regulate a shape profile of the one or more of the patient side () and the user side (). According to other aspects, there is provided a control method for a cardiopulmonary resuscitation, CPR, device and a computer program which, when executed on a computing device, carries out a control method for a cardiopulmonary resuscitation, CPR, device.

According to an aspect, there is provided a cardiopulmonary resuscitation, CPR, device () for enhancing the delivery of CPR to a patient. The device () comprises: a patient side () for engagement with the chest of the patient; and a user side () for engagement with the hands of a user delivering CPR to the patient. One or more of the patient side () and the user side () is at least partially formed of a non-Newtonian fluid, the viscosity of which is configured to vary in response to the application of energy so as to regulate a force distribution profile of the device () from a force applied to the device () by the user and transferred through the device () to the patient. According to other aspects, there is provided a control method for a cardiopulmonary resuscitation, CPR, device and a computer program which, when executed on a computing device, carries out a control method for a cardiopulmonary resuscitation, CPR, device.

The embodiments herein relate to a method performed by a system () for handling variations in a mark () printed by a group () of industrial printers (). The system () obtains images of the printed mark () printed by each of the printers () in the group (). The system () creates a composite image from the obtained images. The printed marks () appear as a repeating pattern in the composite image. The system () compares the printed marks () in the composite image to each other or to another mark. The system () detects variations with a first resolution in the printed marks () in the composite image as a result of the comparison. The system () creates an augmented image in which the detected variations are augmented to a second resolution. The first resolution is lower than the second resolution.
