Abstract: A method and apparatus for annotation of medical imagery to facilitate patient
identification. diagnosis. and treatment is characterized by an imaging device for
producing a first signal representative of sensed characteristics of the individual and
a minutiae generator which receives the first signal and produces a second signal
representative of minutiae of the individual. the minutiae corresponding to specific
branch points of blood vessels of the individual A minutiae data generator analyzes
the characteristics of minutiae and produces a third signal representative of the
characteristics which is stored in a minutiae database for each of the plurality of
known individuals and their medical conditions. The minutiae and minutiae data may
be used to annotate medical imagery to facilitate subsequent image comparison by
providing standardized registration points and time-varying characteristics. A
minutiae matcher pairs corresponding second signals and third signals from a current
patient with those from a database record, and the paired signals are used to align the
images and compare them. The minutiae analysis techniques of the invention can be
used to identify medical patients. assist in the diagnosis of medical conditions. and

Abstract: A card edge type electrical connector including dual-beam ground contacts each
having splayed pre-loaded tips and a realignment twist enabling a plurality of such
contacts to be gang inserted into the insulator housing of the connector. To adjust the pitch
of the pre-loaded tips, a predetermined twist is added to the bottom of the contacts during
the stamping operation which re-aligns the tips with the correct contact receiving
apertures. The re-alignment twist disappears once the contact(s) are fully seated in the
insulator housing, thus allowing the pre-loaded tips to reach their ultimate position within
the insulator housing relative other adjacent contacts.

Abstract: A humidity control apparatus for realizing the
dehumidification, humidification, and ventilation operations
in a compact configuration. The apparatus includes a rotary
humidity control element, an electric heater, and sucking
and/or forcing blowers. The rotary humidity control element
is of metal silicate gel polymerized in honeycomb laminates
of ceramics, and is sectioned into a drying function part, a
heat recovery function part, and a humidification function
part, for use. The drying function part absorbs and removes
moisture from air passing therethrough at room temperatures.
The heat recovery function part recovers heat of air passing
therethrough. The humidification function part moistens the
air passing therethrough if the air is high in temperature.
The electric heater is provided on an air passageway between
the heat recovery function part and the humidification
function part, for heating the air to be introduced to the
humidification function part. The first suction- or forcing
blower is provided on a first air passageway, and the second
suction- or forcing blower is provided on a second air
passageway. By the action of the blowers, an outdoor and
interior airs are fetched from the exterior and the interior
respectively, passed through the rotary humidity control
element, and discharged. The air passageways are changed so
that the apparatus is operated for dehumidification, 
humidification, or ventilation selectively.
