Abstract:
For retrieving information based on images, a first image is taken (S1 ) using a digital camera associated with a communication terminal (1). Query data related to the first image is transmitted (S3) via a communication network (2) to a remote recognition server (3). In the remote recognition server (3) a reference image is identified (S4) based on the query data. Subsequently, in the remote recognition server (3), a Homography is computed (S5) based on the reference image and the query data, the Homography mapping the reference image to the first image. Moreover, in the remote recognition server(3), a second image is selected (S6) and a projection image is computed (S7) of the second image using the Homography. By replacing a part of the first image with at least a part of the projection image, an augmented image is generated (S8, S10) and displayed (S11) at the communication terminal (1). Efficient augmentation of the first image taken with the camera is made possible by remaining in the planar space and dealing with two-dimensional images and objects only.
Abstract:
Electrochemical biosensor arrays and systems, as well as methods of making the electrochemical biosensor arrays and systems, are described herein. The electrochemical biosensor systems can be used with CMOS detection circuits that have a plurality of chemical detection and/or actuation channels or sites. The biosensor systems generally include a first inert conducting electrode disposed on a first portion of a CMOS detection circuit and a polymeric layer adjacent the first inert conducting electrode. The biosensor systems can also include a capture biomolecule bound to the polymeric layer. The biosensor system can also include the CMOS detection and/or actuation circuit having a plurality of channels.
Abstract:
A new class of organic-inorganic materials for thin film semiconducting devices that exhibit good stability in air and water, as well as a new purification technique for thin film semiconducting devices that contain impurities, such as ionic species.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to new target genes for herbizides specific for angiosperms. Furthermore, the invention relates to modified transgenes that confer resistance to said herbizides. The new target genes in combination with the herbizide of the invention are applied as selectable markers. Furthermore, the present invention is concerned with the indentification of genes that form part of signal transduction pathways.
Abstract:
A process for the production of trans -carveol which process comprises (a) incubating in the presence of D-limonene, a culture medium comprising microbial cells expressing an oxygenase capable of toluene and/or napththalene and (b) recovering the trans -carveolfrom the culture medium.
Abstract:
Production of medium chain length poly-3-hydroxyalkanoates (mcl-PHAs) in Escherichia coli is reported for the first time. To produce PHA in E. coli, a PHA polymerase encoding gene (phaC2) of Pseudomonas olevorans GPo1 was introduced into various E. coli strains and fatty acid oxidation mutants thereof. Of these, E. coli fadA/B, E. coli fadRfadA or E. coli fadRfadB mutants, which are defective in specific steps of the fatty acid beta-oxidation pathway, allowed production of mcl-PHAs from fatty acids ranging from octanoate to octadecanoate.
