Patent EP-0924525-A1 (EP)
Inventor: OLIVIER REY
IPC: G01R27/26
Filed: 1997-12-17
Abstract: Characterization of a converter to voltage or current (20), which is connected to a group of capacitors (32) includes arranging converter to receive difference in capacitance, given by output voltage (Vo) which is a function of polarisation signal, which is made to vary while maintaining constant difference in capacitance, and measuring output voltage response. The capacitor assembly is arranged to supply capacitance difference (C1-C2) and the converter receives both the capacitive difference and an electrical polarisation signal (Vb). Its output signal (Vo) is a function of both the capacitive difference and the polarisation signal. The characterization procedure determines the converter characteristic, that is the relationship between the output of the converter and the input capacity difference and polarisation signal. This is achieved by a series of steps during which the polarisation signal is varied, while the capacity difference is varied.

Abstract: In a method of segmenting an image represented by a digital
signal representation into direct exposure area and
diagnostically relevant area, the local centroids of the
histogram of the image are calculated. A set of archetype
histograms with associated threshold value is generated. An
archetype histogram is selected on the basis of correspondence
of location and strength of its local centroids with that of the
calculated local centroids. 
The threshold value associated with the selected archetype
histogram is applied to the image so as to form a bitmap image
comprising a different label for pixels of direct exposure area
and for pixels of diagnostically relevant area.

process comprising the steps of:
     image-wise exposing an imaging element comprising in the order
given on a hydrophilic surface of a support (i) an image receiving
layer containing physical development nuclei and (ii) a
photosensitive layer comprising a photosensitive silver halide
emulsion said photosensitive layer being in water permeable
relationship with said image receiving layer,   applying an aqueous alkaline solution to the imaging element in the
presence of (a) developing agent(s) and (a) silver halide solvent(s)

order to remove the layer(s) on top of the image receiving layer,
thereby exposing the imaged surface of the support by uncovering
said silver image formed in said image receiving layer,   treating said exposed imaged surface of the support with a second
lithographic finisher to enhance the water-receptivity of the
non-image areas and to make the image areas oleophilic
ink-receptive,

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a measuring method that
permits measurement of the concentration of light absorbing material and
the thickness of intercalated tissue without being affected by the thickness
of intercalated tissue between the surface of an organism and the tissue to
be measured. A sensor or a plurality of sensors (11-14) having different
distances between the sender and receiver of light is used to measure the
thickness of intercalated tissue between the surface of the organism and
the organic tissue in which the light absorbing material as a test target
primarily exists. Changes in measurement sensitivity with respect to the
thickness of intercalated tissue at respective distances between the sender
and receiver of light are examined, and based on the changes in
measurement sensitivity, a relation between the thickness of intercalated
tissue and a coefficient of correction for the measurement sensitivity is
determined. The coefficient of correction is calculated, based on the above
relation, from a known distance of the sender and receiver of light of the
sensor and the thickness of intercalated tissue at a site of measurement.
The measured value can be corrected using the obtained coefficient of
correction, so as not to be influenced by the intercalated tissue.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur une composition à appliquer sur un végétal comprenant un substance chimique exogène (un herbicide de postlevée, par exemple), un diluant aqueux et un premier excipient amphiphile. La valeur du rapport pondéral du premier excipient à la substance chimique exogène est comprise entre environ 1/3 et environ 1/100. La composition aqueuse forme, sur une couche cireuse, des agrégats anisotropes dont on peut déceler la présence à l'aide d'un essai décrit dans le texte de cette invention. Une fois appliquées sur des végétaux, les compositions selon l'invention renforcent l'activité biologique par quantité unitaire de la substance chimique exogène par rapport à ce qu'il en est de compositions similaires contenant des tensioactifs ne formant pas d'agrégats anisotropes. Sans toutefois être esclave de cette théorie, il est actuellement raisonnable de croire que le renforcement de cette activité biologique est dû à la formation ou à l'accroissement de canaux hydrophiles dans la cire épicuticulaire du végétal.

Abstract: A femoral head-neck prosthesis (1) which allows natural straining of the upper femur to prevent bone loss. The natural angle of loading of the bone is determined prior to the operation, and the prosthesis is implanted with its longitudinal axis (AX-1) parallel to the natural angle (AX-5). The prosthesis is constructed to inhibit axial fixation and "splinting" of the prosthesis below the interface between the femur neck and the prosthesis on the upper femur. Splines (19) on a stem (13) of the prosthesis help to fix the prosthesis against rotation and toggling motion. The prosthesis is asymmetrical about its longitudinal axis to provide further stability when implanted. The prosthesis and its method of implantation preserve the trochanter and cap the femur to prevent microscopic debris from entering the interior bone.
