Title: Method and system for measuring the relief of an object
Inventor: CANTIN MICHEL
IPC: G01B11/25
Filed: 2000-07-14
Granted: 2007-05-29
Abstract: A method and a system for measuring the relief of an object are described herein. The system includes a grid projecting for projecting a grid, an image acquisition apparatus that includes a camera, and a computer. Providing a reference object having common elements with the object to measure, the method includes the steps of a) positioning the grid at three different known positions relative to the camera and the common elements; b) for each position of the grid, projecting the grid unto the reference object and, with the camera, taking an image of the reference object to yield three images having values for each pixel of the camera and c) computing the reference object phase for each pixel using the three reference object intensity values for the corresponding pixel. Steps a), b) and c) are repeated by replacing the reference object by the object to be measured. The difference of height between the object to be measured and the reference object for each pixel are then computed by subtracting the reference object phase and the object phase for the corresponding pixel.

Abstract: A method for the treatment of a sore by applying a series of voltage wave forms, including the steps of: (a) situating a pair of spaced-apart electrodes in contact with healthy tissue on opposite sides of a sore having substantially zero electrical activity, and (b) externally inducing a percutaneous flow of electrical current between the electrodes by establishing the series of voltage wave forms across the electrodes, wherein the series of voltage wave forms includes wave forms designed to substantially mimic characteristic natural voltage wave form emissions of at least one electrically active sore. The graph in which the typical wave form of the present invention, is compared with a portion of the optimal wave form according to the prior art. The voltage rises in linear fashion (10) until a predetermined current flow is reached and then is maintained (20) until the end of the treatment single time period which is the half cycle determined by the selected frequency. The sore can subsequently be monitored for independent electrical activity, and if independent electrical activity is not sustained, step (b) is reapplied. The treatment is particularly appropriate for bedsores.

Abstract: Methods, systems and apparatus are provided which prevent frame mis-ordering in an explicitly routed network when switching from a first path to a second path. In a first embodiment, last frame and first frame markers are transmitted, and a receiver buffers all frames received between receipt of the last frame marker and the first frame marker. In a second embodiment, a last frame marker is sent to which an acknowledgement must be received before transmitting on the second path. In a third embodiment, only a first frame marker is sent. The receiver, upon receipt, signals a network card for the first path to stop forwarding frames, also buffers frames for some period. In a fourth embodiment, the merge point node forwards frames over different paths with unique markings so the outgoing card can distinguish them.

Abstract: An auxiliary valve assembly is provided for use with a male plug of a quick connect device, which male plug includes: a first valve body defining a flow passage from a protuberant end to an threaded end, the protuberant end being shaped to mate with a female coupler of the quick connect device; a first valve situated in the flow passage, the first valve including a poppet type head at a top end of a valve stem that is seatable against an outer annular valve seat formed in the flow passage at the protuberant end; and a first means for biasing the poppet type head against the outer annular valve seat so that the first valve is normally closed. The auxiliary valve assembly includes a second valve body in which is housed a second valve. The second valve body defines a flow bore from an upper threaded end to a lower threaded end which communicates with the flow passage of the first valve body. The upper threaded end connects with the threaded end of the first valve body whereas the lower threaded end is designed to screw into a threaded bore of a housing. A second valve in the flow bore features a plunger whose top end is disposed opposite a bottom end of the valve stem with a dead space in between. An annular groove around a bottom end of the plunger retains a sealing mechanism that is seatable against an inner annular valve seat formed in the flow bore. A second biasing mechanism acts upon the plunger so that the sealing mechanism seats against the inner annular valve seat thereby rendering the second valve normally closed. When the female coupler is mated to the protuberant end, the female coupler causes translation of the valve stem and the plunger thereby opening both the first valve and the second valve. The allows flow from the housing through the flow bore and the flow passage and into the female coupler.

Granted: 2010-04-20
Abstract: The invention provides a method for making fibers and yarns having improved dyeability with reactive and disperse dyes, resistance to staining and improved mechanical properties and charecteristics. The method includes blending a polyolefin polymer and a fibril forming polymer to provide a mixture of polyolefin and fibril forming polymers. The mixture is conducted to a hot melt extruder to provide a substantially homogenous molten mixture of polyolefin and fibril forming polymers. The molten mixture is forced through a spinneret having a length to diameter (L/D) ratio ranging from about 3 to about 30 to provide a fiber having a polyolefin matrix and elongate, substantially discontinuous fibrils of the fibril forming polymer dispersed into the polyolefin matrix, whereby the exterior surface of the fibers is substantially devoid of fibrils. Fibers made by the process of the invention are useful as carpet face yarn, in textiles, upholstery and other industrial applications, like chemical industry and others.
