Title: Lecture de reseaux fluorescents
Inventor: MONTAGU JEAN I
IPC: G01N1/28
Filed: 2003-08-18
Abstract: Selon l'invention, la lecture de réseaux fluorescents (103) dans des conditions cliniques peut être réalisée au moyen d'un lecteur (110) conçu pour utiliser un éclairage sur fond noir du réseau, et assurant le mappage d'une image du réseau sur un réseau de détecteurs à semi-conducteur (146) avec des dimensions d'image (D) du même ordre que les dimensions (D) du réseau fluorescent, de préférence avec une réduction d'image. On utilise un éclairage à haute intensité dont les non-uniformités sont compensées au moyen d'une normalisation utilisant des éléments d'étalonnage d'intensité (164) dans le réseau lui-même, ces éléments étant détectés pendant une imagerie du réseau. De préférence, on utilise des diodes électroluminescentes de haute intensité (122, 132, 402, 404), telles que celles utilisées dans les feux de circulation, pour l'excitation du réseau, cette excitation étant de préférence introduite dans le réseau par l'intermédiaire d'un homogénéisateur à réflexion interne solide (130). La profondeur intermédiaire de la collecte de champ et des éléments optiques d'imagerie permettent une collecte substantielle de lumière, l'ouverture numérique (O.N.) étant comprise entre 0,30 et 0,60, de préférence entre 0,4 et 0,55. Dans certains cas avantageux, la profondeur de champ relativement large résultante est compensée par absorption d'une lumière qui tend à se déplacer au-delà des points en cours d'imagerie, et qui, sinon, créerait un bruit de fluorescence, l'absorption étant produite, par exemple, au moyen d'une couche d'oxyde métallique opaque (304) intercalée entre un substrat (302), de préférence un substrat ultrafin sur lequel repose le réseau, et le verre ou un autre support rigide (306) nettement plus épais. On utilise des points de taille relativement importante, et notamment des points de diamètre de l'ordre d'au moins 80 à 100 microns ou, de préférence, de 150 à 300 microns. La résolution de ces points jusqu'à au moins 50 pixels sur le réseau de détecteurs à semi-conducteur implique la réalisation d'une mise en cellule appropriée et d'autres manipulations permettant d'obtenir des résultats très précis. Des nouvelles méthodes d'analyse et de diagnostic, tel que le diagnostic du cancer, utilisent ce lecteur pour détecter un ensemble de marqueurs associés à la maladie, et notamment au cancer de l'ovaire.

Abstract: The excitation coil current (I M) and the resultant electromagnetic field (B-Field) rises to a maximum value over a short time (t rev) and then falls slightly over a short period of time (t short). The current remains constant for a longer period of time (t cont) and then reverses to produce a similar current and electromagnetic field of the opposite polarity.

Abstract: Wear resistance of the prior-art Ti(C,N) layers can be considerably enhanced by optimising the
grain size and microstructure. This invention describes a method to obtain controlled, fine, equiaxed
grain morphology in Ti(C,N) layers produced using moderate temperature CVD (MTCVD). The
control of the grain size and shape can be obtained by doping using CO, CO 2 , ZrCl 4  and AlCl 3  or
combinations of these. Doping has to be controlled carefully in order to avoid nanograined
structures and oxidisation. This kind of coatings shows new enhanced wear properties. The fine
grain size together with equiaxed grain morphology enhances the toughness of the coating with at
least maintained wear resistance, which can be seen especially in sticky steels like stainless steels.
The optimum grain size is from 50 to 300 nm, preferably from 50 to 150. The coatings according to
this invention are characterised by the lack of any strong preferred growth orientation, the length-to-width
ratio (L/W) around 1 and only with a slight to moderate XRD line broadening.

IPC: G06V30/10

Abstract: A method for improving mixed raster compression segmentation
utilizes a second stage of a process to generate the MRC Selector plane by
operating on a multibit selector (GraySel) signal which is produced by a first
stage process. The first stage methods used to generated the GraySel can be
PDL or scan oriented. The binary Selector signal produced by the second
stage minimizes the compression noise evident in the reconstructed image.
This second stage processing relies on knowing the size of the JPEG
minimum coded unit (MCU) which will be used to compress the segmented
Foreground and Background planes. The idea is to move false (soft) edges
away from the real (hard) edges by as large a distance as possible up to the
point where they fall off the boundary of the MCU block. Thus a soft edge
which occurs between two hard edges is either eliminated or repositioned to
the midpoint and a soft edge between a hard edge and the MCU boundary is
moved to the boundary. Since JPEG MCU blocks are compressed
independently, transitions at the boundary cause no 'ringing' in the
decompressed output.
