Abstract: A sensor dispensing instrument (20) includes a sensor magazine (26) that contains a plurality of blood glucose sensors (38) disposed in sensor slots (30A-J). Each of the sensor slots (30A-J) is in fluid communication with a desiccant cavity (50A-J) in which desiccant material is disposed. The front and rear walls (34, 32) of the sensor magazine (26) are sealed with burst foils (40, 42) so as to seal the sensor slots (30A-J) and the desiccant cavities (36A-J). The sensor instrument (20) has an outer housing (22) with a laterally extending magazine opening (24) adapted to receive the sensor magazine (26). A pivot rod (28) is moved through the magazine (26) and is locked into an operating position. The magazine (26) is rotated on the pivot rod (28) until a detent arm (48) on the instrument housing (22) engages a detent groove (50A-J) on the magazine (26) to position the magazine (26) in a sensor feeding position. Once so positioned, a sensor push rod (54) is pushed forward resulting in the push rod (54) piercing the rear burst foil (42) and engaging a sensor (38) in one of the sensor slots (30A-J) to thereby push the sensor (38) out through the front burst foil (40) and into a testing position. While in this testing position, the sensor (38) can be placed in a blood sample that needs to be analyzed. Once the test is completed, the push rod (54) is advanced forward further to thereby eject the used sensor (38) from the sensor handling instrument (20). The push rod (54) then is retracted to a standby position and the sensor magazine (26) is rotated until the detent arm (48) engages another detent groove (50A-J) so that another sensor slot (30A-J) is in alignment with the push rod (54).

Abstract: A headbox of a paper/board machine including a set of valves, each of which is arranged to distribute a flow to a different point in the direction of width of the headbox. Each valve is capable of regulating both the flow quantity of the flow departing from the valve and the consistency of the flow departing from the valve. Further, each valve includes an input line for the stock flow and an input line for a diluting flow, which is preferably a diluting-water line, and the flows are combined in the valve. The combined flow is passed into the headbox into connection with the stock flow present in the headbox coming from a stock inlet header to be mixed therewith. The headbox includes a turbulence generator arranged after and connected to the stock inlet header in the flow direction. The turbulence generator includes turbulence tubes which open into a slice duct, preferably a slice cone, from which the stock is passed onto a forming wire. The flows are passed from the valves into the turbulence tubes in the turbulence generator so that the overall combined flow is distributed into the turbulence tubes in the turbulence generator.

Abstract: A dispersed-dot stochastic dither array is provided for rendering halftone images having excellent visual quality and are created by a minimum density variance method. The minimum density variance method considers the statistical distribution of the pixels in the image, and is unrelated to previous techniques based on either spatial frequencies or spatial distances, such as the blue noise mask and the void and cluster algorithm. By minimizing the variance in the number of dots within each local region (10) of the image, a smooth and dispersed distribution of dots may be obtained. The method of the present invention also offers the flexibility to accommodate particular design considerations, through the selection of the size and shape of the image regions, the weighting of the cost function, and the option of guiding the selection of dots with "target" dot profile images.

Abstract: In a receiver two sigma delta modulators (13, 19) are used to convert a pair of analog quatradure signals into digital quadrature signals. In such sigma delta modulators the quantisation noise is shifted into a frequency region in which no signal is present. In order to improve the noise reduction without increasing the order of the filters (15, 17) a cross coupling between the filters (15, 17) is made. Due to this cross coupling it is possible to obtain complex poles and zeros in the noise transfer function which do not have to appear in complex conjugate pairs, resulting in an increase of the noise suppression in one specified frequency range.

Abstract: An image recognition method and device detects an object mark reliably even when the mark is defaced with a different color. RGB signals are transmitted to color extraction unit (10). The color extraction (10) unit has a characteristic color extraction block (17) to extract the characteristic color of the object mark. A binary image is generated from the extracted pixels which are the color of the mark and stored in storage device (11). A mark detection unit (12) detects the location of the mark in the stored image data and an image extraction unit (13) extracts the region where the mark is located and obtains a feature count. A matching unit (14) compares the feature count with a reference pattern and finds the goodness of fit. A control unit (16) subjects the goodness of fit value to threshold value processing to determine whether this is a non-reproducible document. If the mark has been defaced with black ink, the pixels constituting the mark are extracted by a likely color extraction block (18). A binary image is generated and stored in storage device (11). Thus, the defaced mark can undergo the same recognition processing as the normal mark, and both can be recognized.

Abstract: A decoding apparatus includes a quantized bit count
storage, a sound-image data decomposer, a unit frame
length calculator, a quantized bit count adder, a
quantized bit total value storage, a comparator, and a
decoding processor. The comparator compares the value of
the unit frame length of an input compressed bit stream
with the quantized bit total value of the compressed bit
stream, and outputs an error occurrence signal if the
quantized bit total value exceeds the value of the unit
frame length. If the comparator outputs the error occurrence
signal to the decoding processor, the decoding
processor performs interpolation processing for a
sound-image signal and thereby prevents production of
noise which is produced when the quantized bit total value
exceeds the value of the unit frame length.
