Patent EP-1225582-A2 (EP)
Inventor: EOM WOO-SIK
IPC: G11B7/004
Filed: 2001-07-24
Abstract: An apparatus and method for detecting a defect in a
wobble pattern using a wobble signal detected from an
optical recording medium, by which verification is
performed on a defective region if a defect is present in
the wobble pattern when recording data on the optical
recording medium. The apparatus for detecting a defect in
a wobble pattern on an optical recording medium includes:
a phase-locked loop (PLL)(101) that generates a phase-locked
looped wobble signal and a wobble clock signal when
a wobble signal from the wobble pattern is applied; a
window signal generator (103) that generates a signal
indicative of a wobble window period according to a
predetermined window width condition when the phase-locked
looped wobble signal and the wobble clock signal are
applied; a wobble lock/unlock detector (105) that outputs
a signal detecting one of wobble locked and unlocked
states depending on predetermined wobble locked and
unlocked conditions when the wobble window signal and the
wobble signal are applied; and a wobble defect detector
(107) that detects whether any defect exists in the wobble
pattern depending on a predetermined defect decision
condition when the signal detecting one of the wobble
locked an unlocked states, the wobble window signal, and
the wobble signal are applied. Accordingly, the apparatus
and method allow a verification to be performed on data of
a sector or a block where a defect of the wobble pattern
occurs during a recording operation, thereby minimizing
data loss caused by recording data on a defect region.

groove are approximately the same that the phase depth
is less than or equal to λ/10, wherein λ is a wavelength
for reproducing light source. A recording/reproducing
apparatus (4) for the optical information recording
medium (1) is composed of decoding means (12) for
decoding information by detecting a tangential push-pull
reproduced signal from the prepit recording area
(2) and detecting an aggregated signal from the user
recording area (3).
Patent EP-1199048-A2 (EP)
Inventor: FRIEDMAN ALLAN L
IPC: A61B17/32
Filed: 2001-10-19
Abstract: The ability of an ultrasonic system to sweep and lock onto a resonance frequency of
a blade subjected to a heavy load at startup is improved by applying a high drive voltage or a high
drive current while systematically increasing the level of the applied signal. Increasing the drive
signal to the hand piece results in an improved and more pronounced "impedance spectrum." That
is, under load, the increased drive signal causes the maximum phase margin to become higher and
the minimum/maximum impedance magnitude to become more pronounced. Increasing the
excitation drive signal to the hand piece/blade at startup significantly alleviates the limiting factors
associated with ultrasonic generators, which results in an increase of the maximum load capability
at startup.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système et un dispositif d'imagerie percutanée, qui permet une biopsie précise des tissus, et qui est capable de détecter l'absorption d'un marqueur de médecine nucléaire dans un être vivant. Cette invention permet de produire simultanément et en surimpression des images échographiques et des images dérivées de l'activité nucléaire, qui permettent d'aider les chirurgiens à pratiquer des biopsies tissulaires précises dans toute opération dans laquelle l'activité nucléaire est utilisée pour localiser d'éventuels tissus pathologiques. Ce dispositif comprend un instrument médical doté d'au moins deux détecteurs de radionucléides capables de détecter la profondeur d'absorption d'un marqueur dans une région donnée, et pouvant notamment servir à localiser le ganglion lymphatique sentinelle chez un patient présentant un cancer du sein. Chaque détecteur de radionucléide est connecté et opère conjointement à une sonde échographique, de manière à permettre la détection percutanée de la structure anatomique dans la région d'absorption maximale du marqueur. Les détecteurs de radionucléides et la sonde échographique sont reliés de manière pivotante. On détecte la profondeur d'absorption maximale du marqueur en faisant pivoter les détecteurs de radionucléides de manière à modifier le foyer formé à l'intersection de l'axe de visée de chaque détecteur. On règle ce foyer de manière sur la zone d'absorption maximale du marqueur au moyen d'un affichage visuel du taux de comptage de radioactivité ou d'une sortie auditive indiquant le taux de comptage de radioactivité. Lorsque la profondeur est déterminée et cartographiée, une image échographie de la zone localisée est réalisée. Ce système permet de produire une image dans laquelle une représentation en couleur de l'absorption du marqueur est superposée à l'image échographique afin d'aider le radiologue ou le chirurgien à pratiquer une biopsie tissulaire tout en évitant les structures vitales.

difference histogram is generated, and the kind of

text/photograph/other based on the coefficient of the
approximation function. According to the kind of the
original, a density conversion table matching each
kind is prepared, and is used for density correction
of the image obtained by main scanning. For a text
original, the density conversion table is prepared

dark ends of the density histogram. For a photograph
original, the density conversion table is prepared
