Device for controlling a plurality of nuclear reactors

Damage to a joint part of a terminal of an electronic component mounted on a substrate is detected. The substrate includes a base material unit, a land, and a light detection unit. The land included in the substrate is arranged with a stress light emitting body configured to emit light in accordance with stress, includes a transparent member, and is joined with a terminal of an element arranged in the base material unit included in the substrate. The light detection unit included in the substrate is arranged between the base material unit and the land included in the substrate, and detects light from the stress light emitting body.

Substrate and semiconductor package

Introduced here are approaches to transferring relevant information from a first electronic device (also called a 'source electronic device') that is presently outputting an interfacing signal that is detectable by a second electronic device (also called a “recipient electronic device”) via modification of the interfacing signal. Such modification causes the relevant information to be appended to the interfacing signal and then transferred to the recipient electronic device. This can be accomplished by superimposing another signal that is representative of the relevant information onto the interfacing signal. Thus, the relevant information can be transferred from the source electronic device to the recipient electronic device by superimposing a signal onto the interfacing signal that is output by the source electronic device.

Broadcasting contextual information through modification of audio and video interfaces

Lidar imaging techniques are disclosed. An example method includes projecting direct laser beams toward an area of interest, and projecting reflected laser beams toward the area of interest, wherein the reflected laser beams are reflected from a reflective surface disposed at a known location relative to an electronic device. The method also includes receiving light scattered in the area of interest due to the direct laser beams and the reflected laser beams. The method also includes determining signal characteristics of the detected scattered light received from the area of interest caused by both the direct laser beams and the reflected laser beams. The method also includes computing a depth map corresponding to the area of interest based on the signal characteristics.

High resolution lidar scanning

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.

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.
