Two-dimensional method and system enabling three-dimensional user interaction with a device

InactiveUS8723789B1Low costLow form factorCathode-ray tube indicatorsVideo gamesSmart phoneDisplay device

User interaction with a display is detected using at least two cameras whose intersecting FOVs define a three-dimensional hover zone within which user interactions can be imaged. Each camera substantially simultaneously acquires from its vantage point two-dimensional images of the user within the hover zone. Separately and collectively the image data is analyzed to identify therein a relatively few landmarks definable on the user. A substantially unambiguous correspondence is established between the same landmark on each acquired image, and as to those landmarks a three-dimensional reconstruction is made in a common coordinate system. This landmark identification and position information can be converted into a command causing the display to respond appropriately to a gesture made by the user. Advantageously size of the hover zone can far exceed size of the display, making the invention usable with smart phones as well as large size entertainment TVs.

Vacuum cleaner attachment for fungi removal and method of use thereof

InactiveUS6921438B2Addressed and engagedImprove efficiencySuction nozzlesLavatory sanitoryHEPAParticulates

A vacuum cleaner attachment and method of use thereof provides an effective cleaning system for fungi and the like. A vacuum paddle extension enables the attachment to travel into narrow cracks and crevices where fungus may grow and by use of an abrasive and porous pad dislodges such fungus or fungi. When attached to a vacuum system, such as a HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air-Filtered) vacuum system, the debris and particulate matter generated by the abrasive process is drawn into the vacuum attachment and into the vacuum system where it is removed from the air which is then expelled by the vacuum system. Better cleaning of surfaces afflicted with fungi, molds, and the like is then achieved in a manner that is safer and more effective.

A specific cavity extractor extracts an isolated group corresponding to a left ventricle from among a plurality of isolated groups to which numbers are attached in a labeling section. A major axis slope calculator section sets, as a left ventricle major axis, a straight line passing through a center of mass calculated in a center-of-mass detector section and a major-axis end point detected in a major-axis end detector section. A cavity cross sectional area calculator section calculates a cross sectional area of four cavities for each of a plurality of cutting planes including the left ventricle major-axis. An optimum cross section setter sets, as a four-cavity cross section, a cutting plane in which the cross sectional area of the four cavities becomes maximum.

Separately and collectively image data is analyzed to identify a relatively few user landmarks.
