Abstract: The presented invention provides a detection method for free fluid in the human body. The preprocessing procedure is applied to reduce the speckle noise and enhance tissue volumetric pixels (voxels) intensity levels to make tissue and non-tissue voxels more distinguishable from each other. An initial surface selection step provides flexibility to either manually or automatically selecting a seed point to segment fluid regions in the volumetric data. A kidney and liver organ detection procedure provides a method for determining whether the detected fluid region is a normal fluid-carrying body organ or if it is due to a medical condition as a free fluid region. A  combinational approach using a 3-dimensional Snake and Level-Set is utilized to accurately detect fluid regions in the volumetric ultrasound data.

Inventor: EVANS MARK
IPC: G01R17/12
Filed: 2014-07-02
Abstract: The continued drive for improved accuracy in calibration, standards, and measurements on circuits and components operating at hundreds of kilo Volts, thousands of Amps, with resistances into Gigaohms accuracies of parts per million is being replaced by parts per billion. At these levels of accuracy the inventors have identified that a variety of factors, such as interruptions to measurement cycles, e.g. the bridge is unplugged mid-measurement, and manufacturing variations in the current comparator toroids, can generate residual flux within the toroids sufficient to generate offsets within the range of ten (10) to twenty (20) parts per billion. Accordingly, the inventors have established current comparator bridge designs and control methodologies exploiting the current sources within these current comparator bridges to programmably degauss the current comparator toroid automatically. Alternate designs selectively couple dedicated degaussing current sources to the current comparator toroid.  Programme control provides degaussing based upon measurements or automatically per measurement.

Inventor: MURPHY CARY R
IPC: H04J14/00
Filed: 2014-08-12
Abstract: A method is provided for detecting movement indicative of intrusion events on optical drop fibers of a network where the individual drop fiber can be identified to locate the event. The method uses a monitor system at the network end and multiplexing the monitor signal along the individual fibers to the respective terminals. At each of the terminals, the monitor signal is returned unchanged or in modified form along the same or different fibers to the network end. At the network end the received monitor signals is analyzed for changes in said monitor signals indicative of movement. Which one or more of the drop fibers has triggered the alarm is determined by modifying the monitor signal in wavelength or polarization, or by applying a modulation at the source and/or at multiplexing and/or at returning so that the monitor signal of one drop fiber has a difference from the monitor signal of another drop fiber.

Abstract: The staining of leukocytes with binding agents such as monoclonal antibodies is an important task, routinely performed in basic research and diagnostic applications. Known procedures are time consuming and quite labor intensive.  Further, there are at least two mandatory centrifugation steps, rendering automation of the procedure almost impossible. The present invention provides an improved method for the labeling of intracellular and extracellular targets of leukocytes that is fast and not very labor intensive, does avoid any centrifugation steps, allows the use of binding agent cocktails, and can be easily automated.  In particular, by choosing proper reagent compositions and dilution ratios with regard to each step of adding a solution, all time- and labor-consuming centrifugation steps can be omitted. Moreover, a soft fixation step maintains the surface structures of the leukocytes intact.
