Abstract: A method for enhancing a textual image for undergoing optical character recognition begins by receiving an image that includes native lines of text. A background line profile is determined which represents an average background intensity along the native lines in the image. Likewise, a foreground line profile is determined which represents an average foreground background intensity along the native lines in the image. The pixels in the image are assigned to either a background or foreground portion of the image based at least in part on the background line profile and the foreground line profile. The intensity of the pixels designated to the background portion of the image is adjusted to a maximum brightness so as to represent a portion of the image that does not include text.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide swallowable devices, preparations and methods for delivering drugs and other therapeutic agents within the GI tract. Many embodiments provide a swallowable device for delivering the agents. Particular embodiments provide a swallowable device such as a capsule for delivering drugs into the intestinal wall or other GI lumen. Embodiments also provide various drug preparations that are configured to be contained within the capsule, advanced from the capsule into the intestinal wall and degrade within the wall to release the drug to produce a therapeutic effect. The preparation can be coupled to an actuator having a first configuration where the preparation is contained in the capsule and a second configuration where the preparation is advanced out of the capsule into the intestinal wall. Embodiments of the invention are particularly useful for the delivery of drugs which are poorly absorbed, tolerated and/or degraded within the GI tract.

Abstract: A system and methods using tracheal sound intensity variations to screen patients suspected of obstructive sleep apnea during wakefulness. The system includes a mechanism positioning the patient and a sound input device attached to a recording device to receive breathing sound signals. A signal conditioning component amplifies and filters the breathing sound signals, and an analog to digital component digitizes the signals. A detecting component detects onsets of respiratory phases, and a separating component separates inspiratory sound signals and expiratory sound signals from the breathing sound signals. A segmenting component segments the inspiratory and expiratory phase signals into a short duration of overlapping windows, and a collection characteristic extraction component obtains characteristics from each window. A calculation component performs statistical analysis to reduce the number of significant characteristics and classify the patient as OSA or non-OSA and predicts severity of the OSA as one of mild, moderate and severe.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système d'assainissement permettant d'assainir l'eau dans un système unité de baignade comprenant un bassin permettant de contenir de l'eau dans laquelle est dissout un sel d'halogène et un système de circulation permettant d'extraire l'eau du bassin et de la renvoyer dedans. Le système comprend un dispositif d'assainissement comportant un logement conçu pour être mis en communication fluidique avec le système de circulation et une cellule électrolytique placée à l'intérieur du logement de façon que, lorsqu'on met la cellule électrolytique sous tension, le sel d'halogène dissout dans l'eau est converti en une certaine quantité d'halogène libre. Un régulateur régule la quantité d'énergie fournie à la cellule électrolytique de façon à réguler la quantité d'halogène libre produite. Le régulateur mesure une caractéristique de l'eau et lance un processus en fonction de la caractéristique mesurée. Par exemple, le régulateur peut mesurer une résistance de l'eau afin de lancer un processus de détermination de la quantité de sel d'halogène ou d'eau à ajouter dans le bassin. L'invention concerne aussi une interface utilisateur de commande du dispositif d'assainissement.

Abstract: A metering pump or segment, and a metering pump assembly comprising a plurality of the metering pumps or segments, are disclosed. The drive shaft assembly for driving the pump gears of each metering pump or segment is coaxially aligned with the longitudinal axis of the pump or segment, as is the fluid inlet supply path, whereby only three gears are required to comprise each metering pump or segment. The single drive shaft assembly is utilized to drive all of the metering pumps or segments comprising the metering pump assembly, and the different metering pumps or segments are fluidically connected together by means of a common fluid passageway. In addition, the different metering pumps or segments can be interchanged or exchanged so as to permit different metered fluid output volumes to be outputted at different predetermined locations. Also, different metering pumps or segments can be disposed or arranged such that their metered flow output volumes can effectively be added together so as to achieve additionally desired metered fluid output volumes which are different from that achieved from any single one metering pump or segment.

Abstract: A raw gas collection system for collecting raw gas from a plurality of aluminium smelting pots is equipped with a plurality of branch ducts (28d), each of which is arranged to channel a respective branch flow (38d) of raw gas from an aluminium smelting pot to a collection duct (26A), which is common to and shared by the branch ducts (28d). Each of said branch ducts (28d) is, near an outlet (52d) thereof, equipped with a curved section (50d) for aligning the branch flow (38d) with a flow direction of raw gas (27A) already present in the common collection duct (26A), and a constriction (54d) for accelerating the branch flow (38d) through the branch duct outlet (52d) into the common collection duct (26A). Furthermore, each of said branch ducts (28d) is equipped with a heat exchanger (40d) for removing heat from the respective branch flow (38d) of raw gas. The combined flow resistance of the constriction (54d) and the heat exchanger (40d) reduces the need for adjusting the respective branch flows (28d) using dampers, thereby reducing the power required to transport the raw gas.
