Title: Systems and methods for indexing and retrieving images
Inventor: SUN YAN-FENG
IPC: G06T7/40
Filed: 2004-10-08
Abstract: Systems and methods for indexing and retrieving images are described herein. The systems and methods analyze an image to determine its texture moments. The pixels of the image are converted to gray scale. Textural attributes of the pixels are determined. The textural attributes are associated with the local texture of the pixels and are derived from coefficients of Discrete Fourier Transform associated with the pixels. Statistical values associated with the textural attributes of the pixels are calculated. The texture moments of the image are determined from the statistical value.

Title: Bicyclic piperidine derivatives as melanocortin-4 receptor agonists
Inventor: GUO LIANGQIN
IPC: A61P15/00
Filed: 2004-03-22
Abstract: Certain novel bicyclic N-acylated piperidine derivatives are agonists of the human melanocortin receptor(s) and, in particular, are selective agonists of the human melanocortin-4 receptor (MC-4R). They are therefore useful for the treatment, control, or prevention of diseases and disorders responsive to the activation of MC-4R, such as obesity, diabetes, sexual dysfunction, including erectile dysfunction and female sexual dysfunction.

Patent AU-2004320545-A1 (AU)
Title: Magnetic separator for ferromagnetic materials with controlled-slip rotating roller and relevant operating method
Inventor: MOLTENI DANILO
IPC: B03C1/18
Filed: 2004-06-07
Abstract: A magnetic separator conventionally includes a conveyor belt (1) that forms a closed loop around a magnetic roller (2) and an idler roller (3) to convey a mix of materials (4), the novel aspect being that the belt (1) is not driven by the roller (2) but by the idler roller (3) that is motorized, and in that the belt (1) is not wound directly on the roller (2) but on an idle tube (3′) of non-magnetic material inside which the roller (2) is arranged with a minimum gap. It is therefore possible to obtain two surfaces with a relative slip and therefore two different speeds whereby the attracted material, during the path defined by the 180° of tangency to the magnetic area, due to the backing or advancing of the magnetic polarities tends to rotate backward or forward with respect to the travel direction of the belt. This results in substantially all the inert material being released and falling by gravity in a first fall area (5) located below the vertical tangent to the belt (1), and also in a progressive release of materials with increasing permeability, with a fan-like detachment that leads them to fall into distinct fall areas (6, 7, 8).

Title: A device for removing acrochordons
Inventor: SUNDSTROM STAFFAN
IPC: A61B17/12
Filed: 2005-12-20
Abstract: The invention relates to a device for removal of bothersome acrochordons or skin tags from the skin. The device has an adhesive surface which allows manipulation and locking of the skin tag in such a way that acrochordon ectomic strangulation can occur without anesthetic or risk for bleeding or infections. The device includes three parts with one or several surfaces, the edges of which can be pivoted, folded, rotated or bent in relation to each other, whereby a more or less elastic strangulation of the skin tag causes an occlusion of the blood flow. The skin tag is simultaneously sealed to the skin surface and concealed by the device which makes the painless ectomic process cosmetically acceptable.

Patent WO-2007014417-A1 (WO)
Inventor: ESSEX TIM
IPC: G01R27/00
Filed: 2006-07-27
Abstract: A method of determining parameter values used in impedance analysis of a subject. The method includes using a processing system to determine a number of impedance measurements at a corresponding number of frequencies. The impedance measurements are used to determine estimates of parameter values, with the estimates being used to determine theoretical impedance values based on the parameter value estimates. The theoretical impedance values are compared to the measured impedance values to allow a modification direction to be determined for at least one of the parameter value estimates. This is then used to modify at least one parameter value estimate, with the parameter values being determined at least in part from one or more modified parameter value estimates.

Title: Haptic for accommodating intraocular lens
Inventor: BRADY DANIEL G
IPC: A61F2/16
Filed: 2006-10-23
Abstract: A haptic (30,50,59,89) is provided for use in an accommodating intraocular lens (15,35,55,85,95,105). The haptic has multiple filaments (33,53,63,89,92,102,109), each connected to the edge of the optic (28,58,88,98,108) at one end. Each filament has a shape that conforms to an equatorial region of the capsular bag. The haptic couples the forces exerted by the capsular bag of the eye during accommodation radially to the edge of the optic, produce a diametric expansion or compression of the optic. This diametric motion distorts the optic, producing a change in any or all of the anterior radius, the posterior radius, and the thickness. These changes affect the power of the lens and/or location of the image. The haptic may optionally have a thin membrane joining the filaments at the optic end, and may optionally have a connecting ring that joins the filaments at the end opposite that of the optic. The filaments may be staked through the optic at the peripheral edge of the optic.
