A system (10) for determining the longitudinal position of a displaceable element (12) positioned between two substantially orthogonally laterally opposing displacement sensors (14a, 14b) measures a distance (44a, 44b) from each displacement sensor (14a, 14b) to the displaceable element (12). The displaceable element (12) has a tapered thickness (32) along its length (36). A change in the longitudinal position of the displaceable element (12) causes the proximity sensors (14a, 14b) to each detect their distance (44a, 44b) to the displaceable element (12), which distances (44a, 44b) then correspond directly to the local thickness (32) and thus the longitudinal position of the displaceable element (12). The system calculates the position of t...

A 3D face reconstruction technique using 2D images, such as photographs of a face, is described. Prior face knowledge or a generic face is used to extract sparse 3D information from the images and to identify image pairs. Bundle adjustment is carried out to determine more accurate 3D camera positions, image pairs are rectified, and dense 3D face information is extracted without using the prior face knowledge. Outliers are removed, e.g., by using tensor voting. A 3D surface is extracted from the dense 3D information and surface detail is extracted from the images.

Certain aspects of the present invention are directed to new fully human fusion partner cell lines called human Karyochi cells, and to methods for making them. Human Karyochi cells are then fused with human antibody-secreting lymphoid cells to make fully human hybridomas called Karyochi-based hybridomas, which likewise secrete fully human monoclonal antibodies. Human Karyochi cells are made by isolating a donor nucleus that is substantially free of cytoplasm from either a first malignant B-lymphocyte cell line or a normal B-lymphocyte, and transferring the donor nucleus into the cytoplasm of a recipient cell from a second T- or B-lymphoid cell line. With time the nuclei synchronize and fuse to form the chimeric Karyochi fusion partner cell ...
