Abstract: A quantitative method for determining tissue characteristics includes the steps of generating data for a dynamic optical curve over a period of time based on an optical property of a tissue, or portion thereof, that has been exposed to a biomarker and, based on the data, determining a value of a dynamic optical parameter. The value of the dynamic optical parameter is compared with at least one reference value of the dynamic optical parameter known to be linked to a structural or functional characteristic and/or the pathological status of the tissue. Based on the comparison, a structural or functional characteristic and/or the pathological status of the tissue, or portion thereof is determined. Data for dynamic optical curves may be generated for a plurality of tissue locations corresponding to a plurality of spatial image locations. The plurality of dynamic optical curves may be used to determine values of a dynamic optical parameter and a related tissue characteristic at a plurality of tissue locations. A computer readable medium holds computer program instructions for carrying out this method. Reference values can be calculated by measuring dynamic optical properties from known representative tissue samples. Preferred tissue samples include endothelial and cervical samples. Preferred methods involve diagnosing and/or grading neoplasia and/or HPV infection and/or calculating nuclear to cytoplasmic ratios of the cells in the tissue sample.

Abstract: The method involves determining a value of traverse speed of a mobile object such as boat, from current and preceding positions using a value determining unit. A current level, which is a level defined by the positions according to the determined value of the traverse speed or another level obtained by linear approximation of an assembly comprising the positions, is determined using a current level determining unit. An angle value, associated to the value of speed of gradient angle between the levels, is determined when the value of the traverse speed is higher than a threshold speed. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a device for estimating an trajectory described by a mobile object from a succession of geographical positions obtained for the object (2) a recording medium comprising a program with instructions for performing a trajectory estimating method.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a method for determining, in a wireless cellular telecommunication network, which symbols transferred in a downlink timeslot have to be selected by a half-duplex terminal, the half-duplex terminal receiving a timing advance information the downlink timeslot having a duration which is at most equal to a maximum duration, the symbols being consecutively transferred in the downlink timeslot. The half-duplex terminal : 
- calculates a period of time from the received timing advance, 
- selects the group of symbols in the downlink timeslot which are comprised in the beginning part of the downlink timeslot which is equal to the maximum downlink timeslot duration minus the idle period, 
- measures the power strength of the signals representative of the last symbol of the group of symbols, 
- removes the last symbol from the group of symbols if the power strength is lower than a threshold.

The sheath is advanced from an entry site to a body lumen in the contracted condition. Once the sheath reaches a target body lumen, the sheath is expanded to the enlarged condition, thereby defining a lumen within the sheath, and fluids and/or instruments are introduced into the body lumen via the sheath lumen. Upon completing the procedure, the sheath is removed from the body lumen.
