An acoustic image source model for early reflections in a room is generated by iteratively mirroring (305) rooms around boundaries (e.g. walls) of rooms of the previous iteration. Determination of mirror positions in the image rooms for an audio source in the original room is performed by determining (605, 607) matching reference positions in the two rooms and a relative mapping of directions between the two rooms (611). A mirror position in the mirror room from an audio source in the original room is determined (701, 703, 705) by mapping relative offsets between the positions of the audio source and the reference positions. The approach may provide a computationally very efficient approach.

Disclosed is an in vitro method for assessing whether a human patient suffering from periodontitis has mild periodontitis or advanced periodontitis. The method is based on the insight to determine a selection of two biomarker proteins. Accordingly, in a sample of saliva a patient suffering from periodontitis, the concentrations are measured of the proteins Pyruvate Kinase (PK) and at least one of Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP9), S100 calcium-binding protein A8 (S100A8), and Hemoglobin subunit beta (Hb-beta); or of the proteins Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP9) and at least one of S 100 calcium-binding protein A8 (S100A8) and S100 calcium-binding protein A9 (S100A9). Based on the concentrations as measured, a value is determined reflecting the joint concentrations for said proteins. This value is compared with a threshold value reflecting in the same manner the joint concentrations associated with advanced periodontitis. The comparison allows assessing whether the testing value is indicative of the presence of advanced periodontitis or of mild periodontitis in said patient. Thereby, typically, a testing value reflecting a joint concentration below the joint concentration reflected by the threshold value is indicative for mild periodontitis in said patient, and a testing value reflecting a joint concentration at or above the joint concentration reflected by the threshold value, is indicative for advanced periodontitis in said patient.

The processor is configured to compute b based on a key exchange protocol. The first device has a number a in approximate agreement with the number b. The first device comprises a processor configured to determine a common secret s based on an integer value a an equation, and system parameters, and determine a reconciliation data h. The first device further comprises a transmitter configured to transmit information indicative of the reconciliation data h to the second device.
A light emitting arrangement (100) for anti-fouling of a surface (30), comprises an optical medium (10) and at least one light source (20) for emitting anti-fouling light. A first zone (1) of the arrangement (100), which is closest to the light source (20), is arranged and configured to predominantly make the anti-fouling light reflect in a specular manner towards an emission surface (12) of the optical medium (10), through the optical medium (10), a second zone (2) of the arrangement (100) is arranged and configured to predominantly realize propagation of the anti-fouling light through the optical medium (10) by total internal reflection, and a third zone (3) of the arrangement (100), which is furthest away from the light source (20), is arranged and configured to predominantly make the anti- fouling light scatter out of the optical medium (10), through the emission surface (12) of the optical medium (10).
The invention provides a light guide element (1300) comprising a light guide (300), wherein the light guide (300) comprises a first light guide face (301) and a second light guide face (302) with UV radiation transmissive light guide material (305) between the first light guide face (301) and the second light guide face (302), wherein the light guide element (1300) further comprises one or more of: (i) a first layer element (30) in contact with the first light guide face (301), wherein the first layer element (30) is transmissive for UV radiation; and (ii) a second layer element (130) in contact with the second light guide face (301), wherein the second layer element (130) has one or more functionalities selected from the group consisting of (a) reflective for UV radiation, (b) adhesive for adhering the light guide (300) to an object, (c) reinforcing the light guide element (1300), and (d) protective for the light guide (300).

A system and method are provided for change detection in medical images. A difference image representing intensity differences between a first medical image and a second medical image is generated. A mixture model is fitted to an intensity distribution of the difference image to identify a plurality of probability distributions which collectively model the intensity distribution. A plurality of intensity ranges is determined as a function of the plurality of probability distributions. Image data of the difference image is labeled by determining into which of the plurality of intensity ranges said labeled image data falls. Accordingly, more accurate change detection is obtained than known systems and method.
