Abstract: The needle (11;74;92) of a syringe, wire guide, biopsy needle, Huber needle and the like is drawn into a protective cap (12;76;94) and sheath (22) arrangement after use for disposal purposes. The cap (12;76;94) is tethered to a housing (13;71;93) in which the needle (11;74;92) is mounted by the sheath (22). The sheath (22) is made of a film material that has a high tensile strength and a low percent of elongation, such as polyester. The sheath(22) is initially mounted about the needle (11;74;92) in a collapsed accordion-like condition between the cap (12;76;94) and housing (13;71;93). When the cap(12;76;94) is moved along the needle(11;74;92), the sheath (22) is played out over the needle (11;74;92). The cap(12;76;94) houses a spring clip(26;86;110) to snap over the bore (33;88;95) through which the needle (11;74;92) is retracted to prevent re-emergence of the needle (11;74;92). The flexible nature of the sheath (22) allows the sheath (22) to pass about the two legs of the Huber needle (92). <IMAGE> <IMAGE> <IMAGE>

Abstract: A binary image generating method and apparatus using location information of minority pixels. A modified input pixel value u(m, n) is calculated by adding a value obtained by filtering an error value e(m, n) of a previous binary pixel to a currently input continuous tone pixel value i(m, n). An ideally optimum distance d opt (i(m, n)) between the currently input continuous tone pixel value i(m, n) and a minority pixel is calculated. A minimum distance d m  between the input pixel and minority pixels is calculated using location information of the minority pixels at minimum distances from binary pixels adjacent to the input pixel. A threshold value t(m, n) is calculated using the ideally optimum distance d opt (i(m, n)) and the minimum distances d m  for the currently input continuous tone pixel value i (m, n). The threshold value t(m, n) is compared with the modified input pixel value u(m, n) to determine a binary pixel value b(m, n) of the input pixel. The location information of the minority pixels at the minimum distances from the input pixel is then stored.
