Patent CA-2449080-A1 (CA)
Inventor: THERASSE ERIC
IPC: G06V10/764

Abstract: Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is a medical imaging technique that not only provides three-dimensional information about the blood vessel lumen and wall, but also directly depicts atherosclerotic plaque structure and morphology. Automatic processing of large data sets of IVUS data represents an important challenge due to ultrasound speckle and technology artifacts. A new semi-automatic IVUS segmentation model, the fast-marching method, based on grayscale statistics of the images, is compared to active contour segmentation.      With fast-marching segmentation, the lumen, intima plus plaque structure, and media contours are computed in parallel. Preliminary results of this new IVUS segmentation model agree very well with vessel wall contours. Moreover, fast-marching segmentation is less sensitive to initialization with average distance between segmentation performed with different initializations < 0.85 % and Haussdorf distance < 2.6 %.

Title: A method and a plant for preparing shrimps
Inventor: HANSEN SOEREN MOELGAARD
IPC: A23L17/40
Filed: 2004-01-14
Abstract: A method of preparing shrimps comprises the following steps: Steam boiling the shrimps at a high pressure exceeding the atmospheric pressure, and at an elevated temperature exceeding the boiling temperature of water at the atmospheric pressure for a specific period of time for keeping the meat of the shrimps in a compressed state due to the pressurisation while rapidly heating the shrimps to the elevated temperature for causing the meat of the shrimps to solidify and cause the meat of the shrimps to loosen from the shells of the shrimps. The shrimps are then rapidly cooled to a temperature to or below the atmospheric temperature for causing substantially all meat of the shrimps to be separated from the shells of the shrimps between an area behind the head of the individual shrimp and a part above the tail of the individual shrimp. Subsequently, the shrimps are peeled by mechanically opening the shells of the shrimps for allowing the meat loosely contained within the shells of the shrimps to fall out from the shells of the shrimps, and the meat of the shrimps is separated from the remainings of the shrimps, including the shelf parts and any eggs by flotational separation of the meat from the remainings by introducing the meat and the remainings into a separation liquid such as a brine solution, including a specific amount of NaCl by weight for causing the meat to float on the separation liquid while allowing the remainings of the shrimps, including the shell parts and any eggs to sink. Finally, the meat is removed from the separation liquid.

Abstract: On étalonne des stations de base dans un réseau de télécommunication sans fil à la synchronisation du système GPS en utilisant des données de mesure de position obtenue d'une ou de plusieurs stations mobiles hybrides pendant des sessions de localisation de position ordinaires. Par conséquent, il est nécessaire d'obtenir des données d'étalonnage extérieures à l'instrument d'étalonnage, et cet étalonnage peut survenir de manière continuelle afin de compenser toutes les perturbations ou dérives dans les stations de bases. Les problèmes de secret des communications se posent avec une acuité moindre du fait qu'on utilise des sessions de localisation de position ordinaires qui n'ont lieu que lorsqu'un opérateur de la station mobile hybride place un appel téléphonique sans fil ou lorsqu'il répond à un de ceux-ci. Dans une mise en oeuvre préférée, ce réseau utilise un accès multiple par code de répartition (AMCR) et les stations mobiles hybrides peuvent fournir au réseau une trilatération de liaison aval avancée (AFLT) ou des données de position GPS.
