Abstract: This invention relates to a process for regulating the exposure time of a light sensor, characterized in that it comprises the following steps:   a) setting the exposure time of the sensor to a value selected in a first range of M prefixed values defined between a minimum and a maximum value; b) acquiring an image of an object on the sensor, such image comprising a plurality of luminous pixels; c) analyzing the acquired image in order to detect its level of luminosity; d) comparing the detected level of luminosity with a prefixed higher (lower) global threshold level representative of a condition of overexposure (under-exposure) of the image; e) varying the exposure time of the sensor and iteratively repeating the previous steps until an optimum exposure time equal to the highest (lowest) exposure time is found, amongst the ones set, for which the image presents a level of luminosity which is smaller (greater) than the prefixed higher (lower) global threshold level.   <IMAGE>

Abstract: Method for preparing melamine from urea via a high-pressure process in which solid melamine is obtained by transferring the melamine melt coming from the reactor to a vessel where the melamine melt is cooled with an evaporating cooling medium. The melamine melt comes from the melamine reactor at a temperature between the melting point of melamine and 450° C. and is sprayed into a cooling vessel, via spraying means, and cooled by means of an evaporating cooling medium to form melamine powder. The cooling vessel has an ammonia environment with an increased ammonia pressure. The melamine melt is thereby converted into melamine powder having a temperature of between 200° C. and the solidification point of melamine. The melamine powder is then cooled to a temperature below 200° C. with the powder mechanically agitated and being cooled directly or indirectly, after which the ammonia pressure is released and, if necessary, the melamine powder is cooled further.

Abstract: A method of performing synthetic aperture magnetometery on the signals from a target organ using an array of biomagnetic sensors positioned in a predetermined manner around the target organ, each sensor in the array having a position vector and an orientation vector relative to a common coordinate system encompassing the target organ. The method includes the steps of: simultaneously measuring EM signals from each sensor positioned in the array for a selected time interval; computing a covariance matrix of the measured EM signals over a user-selected time sub-interval within the selected time interval; selecting a set of coordinates for a region of interest to be imaged and a distance between voxels to form a grid of voxels; computing a forward solution for a current element at each of the voxels for each of the sensors in the array sensors; computing an RMS current density estimate for each voxel from the covariance matrix and the forward solution for that voxel; and displaying the voxels estimating RMS current density as a first image. The method is particularly well suited for evaluating brain activity in a human subject.
