A single camera can be used to determine a height of an object. The camera captures an image of the object against a reflective surface backdrop. The distance from the camera and the reflective surface, combined with the distance between the object and the reflection of the object, can be used to determine the distance from the object and the reflective surface.

Reflection-based distance perception

An ophthalmic device having a single or dual compartment configuration selectively emits infrared and visible light beams onto one or a pair of target eyes. The device performs eye fundus imaging and aids in the detection of ailments as indicated by anomalies in the pupillary reflex.

A method, apparatus and computer program product for automatically generating training sets for machine learning. A set of topics to train a machine learning system is provided. A set of subject matter expert follower sites is identified. Each of the subject matter expert follower sites is about a respective topic of the set of topics and allows followers to post content. The content posted by followers of a respective subject matter expert follower site on the internet is retrieved. The retrieved follower posted content is used to train the machine learning to recognize common features of the retrieved follower posted content of followers having an interest in a respective topic of the set of topics.

A system is provided for performing metal trace analysis on a liquid sample. A sample holder holds an analysis substrate that includes a reference region and at least one test region. An ultraviolet (UV) light source emits ultraviolet light illuminating the liquid sample. An optical sensor detects radiation emanating from the liquid sample and converting the detected radiation into an electrical signal. A microcontroller processes the electrical signal. An external interface transmits the processed electrical signal to an external device. The analysis substrate is configured for manual movement by a user. A tracking system detects a sample scanning location for the metal trace analysis, and includes a light source, other than the UV light source, and another optical sensor. The other optical sensor detects light emitted by the light source.

Portable and autonomous, IoT enabled, optical measurement system

A method, system, and a computer program product are provided for monitoring an emotional state of a conversation by monitoring a communication between first and second persons to determine an emotional state of the communication, providing a visual representation of the emotional state of the communication for display to a person having access to the communication, and performing an intervention action to improve the emotional state of the communication in response to detecting the emotional state of the communication meets one or more specified intervention criteria.

A portable optical measurement system is provided for performing metal trace analysis on a liquid sample. The system includes a sample holder for holding an analysis substrate that includes the liquid sample during the metal trace analysis. The system further includes an ultraviolet (UV) light source for emitting ultraviolet light illuminating the liquid sample. The system also includes an optical sensor for detecting radiation emanating from the liquid sample and converting the detected radiation into an electrical signal. The system additionally includes a microcontroller for processing the electrical signal. The system further includes an external interface for transmitting the processed electrical signal to an external device.

A mechanism is provided in a data processing system comprising at least one processor and at least one memory, the at least one memory comprising instructions executed by the at least one processor to cause the at least one processor to implement a personalized interactive decision support system. A customer profile generator executing within the personalized interactive decision support system determines a set of traits for at least one customer based on at least one user-generated content source. A personalized product recommendation module executing within the personalized interactive decision support system matches the at least one customer to at least one product within a set of products based on a consumption preferences-to-product attribute mapping data structure to form at least one product recommendation. Each product in the set of products has an associated set of attributes and wherein the consumption preferences-to-product attribute mapping data structure correlates customer traits and consumption preferences and correlates consumption preferences and product attributes. A visual and interactive decision support module executing within the personalized interactive decision support system presents the at least one product recommendation.
