US Patent:

55250610, Jun 11, 1996

Filed:

Aug 9, 1994

Appl. No.:

8/287777

Inventors:

William P. Lord - Keene NH

International Classification:

G09B 900

US Classification:

434258

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for testing and evaluation of physical coordination and dexterity in occupational rehabilitation or physical therapy for injury or illness, and for training of retarded or developmentally delayed or handicapped persons. The person being tested attempts to traverse a test pattern with a targeting image or to plot coordinates and connect line segments from instructions, using left and right hands or feet to control motion or plot coordinates in at least two dimensions. Controls can be oriented and configured to test and train motor skills, motions and coordination requirements common to workplace, home or recreational activities. A permanent trace record of the subject's effort, made in the same orientation and scale as the test pattern, provides a means by which test results can be compared directly to the test standard, to previous and later recorded traces by the same subject, and to the traces of other subjects.

Abstract:

Disclosed techniques relate to identifying subjects in digital images. In some embodiments, intake digital images () are acquired () that capture a first subject. A subset of the intake digital images is selected () that depict multiple different views of the first subject's face. Based on the selected subset of intake digital images, first subject reference templates are generated and stored in a subject database (). Later, a second subject is selected () for identification within an area. Associated second subject reference templates are retrieved () from the subject reference database. Digital image(s) () that depict the area are acquired (). Portion(s) of the digital image(s) that depict faces of subject(s) in the area are detected () as detected face image(s). A given detected face image is compared () to the second subject reference templates to identify the second subject () in the digital image(s) that capture the area.

International Classification:

G05B 19/4097

Abstract:

A system for processing a work-piece including a sheet of material into pieces includes a production environment configured for collecting data characterizing the work-piece and for subsequently cutting the work-piece into a plurality of products; and a development environment separate from the production environment, the development environment configured for receiving characterization data from the production environment, developing a nesting strategy for cutting the work-piece and providing the nesting strategy.
