Abstract: The image restoration has three main stages. The first is to obtain a sequence of raw images of the moving body from appropriate detectors. The second determines a law of movement from the sequence of images. The third modifies the raw images, applying a suitability criterion, a spatial regularisation criterion and a temporal regularisation criterion. In all cases, the law of movement of the object is considered. The criteria are expressed as an error function between the restored image and the raw data, with minimum error corresponding to the ideal restoration. Movement is estimated from the reconstructed raw images by filtering and retro-projection. Temporal regularisation weights each image point with its precision of estimation.

Abstract: An arrangement is disclosed for controlling fan motors in fan-powered terminal units which permit the air flow of the terminal units to be factory preset and reset using a voltmeter. The fan motor is responsive to the pulse width of pulses of a pulse width modulated signal to provide an air flow which is proportional to the pulse width. By adjusting the pulse width, the air flow may be set as desired. A pulse width modulated signal having pulses with a set amplitude and frequency is generated. The dc voltage of the pulse width modulated signal is measured using a voltmeter. As the pulses have a set amplitude and frequency, the pulse width of the pulses may be adjusted by controlling the dc voltage of the pulse width modulated signal. The fan motor is programmed to deliver the set air flow over a range of static pressures.

Abstract: Surfactant protein D (SP-D) is a 43-kDa member of the collectin family of collagenous lectin domain-containing proteins that is expressed in epithelial cells of the lung. The SP-D gene was targeted by homologous recombination in embryonic stem cells that were used to produce SP-D (-/-) mice. The SP-D (-/-) deficiency caused inflammation, increased oxidant production by isolated alveolar macrophages, abnormal surfactant structure and levels, and decreased SP-A expression. Therefore, disclosed is the SP-D (-/-) mouse as an excellent model for emphysema. Also included are models for testing emphysema therapies in the mouse model, methods for using SP-D protein or DNA as a treatment for emphysema and pulmonary infections, and diagnosis.
