Inventor: RAVKIN ILYA
IPC: G01N33/49
Filed: 1999-11-12
Abstract: Detection of fetal nucleated red blood cells (NRBCs) is achieved by employing a combination of brightfield and fluorescence images of nuclear and cytoplasmic markers. The brightfield and fluorescence images are all obtained with a single multi-bandpass dichroic mirror. The objects in the sample are stained with a fluorescent dye that selectively stains nuclei and a dye that selectively stains fetal hemoglobin in the cytoplasm of fetal RBCs. UV excitation provides fluorescent emissions from the stained cell nuclei and visible illumination provides brightfield transmission of light that is absorbed by the stained cytoplasm. The images are processed to determine regions where the fluorescent emissions by cell nuclei in response to the UV excitation and the absorption by fetal hemoglobin of the brightfield illumination overlap or are in close proximity. The brightfield and fluorescence images may be sequentially acquired or derived from a single image where the UV excitation and visible illumination occur simultaneously.

Title: Grinding wheel monitoring
IPC: B24B49/16
Filed: 2003-12-22
Abstract: A method of monitoring the wear of a grinding wheel measures the force exerted between the wheel and a workpiece, and generates a warning signal when the measured force exceeds a predetermined threshold value. A signal proportional to the normal grinding force is obtained by measuring the electrical power drawn by the wheelfeed drive motor during grinding. The value of the force proportional signal is compared with corresponding values obtained during the grinding of one or more preceding similar workpieces. Where the grinding wheel includes an annular ridge for grinding an undercut in a workpiece, the ridge portion of the wheel will normally perform more work than the remainder of the wheel, will be liable to the greatest wear, and the force signals will be measured while such portions of the wheel are performing work. The method may be used with electroplated CBN grinding wheels.
