Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method of detecting a neurodegenerative disease in a mammal by activating brain tissue of the mammal by application of radiation under conditions effective to promote a simultaneous multiphoton excitation of the brain tissue and to emit a fluorescence characteristic. The fluorescence characteristic is then compared to a standard fluorescence emitted by exciting healthy brain tissue of the mammal under the same conditions used to carry out the activating step. Brain tissue where the fluorescence characteristic differs from the standard fluorescence is identified as potentially having a neurodegenerative disease. Another aspect of the present invention is directed to a method of producing an image of brain tissue from a mammal by activating brain tissue of a mammal with radiation applied under conditions effective to promote a simultaneous multiphoton excitation of the brain tissue and to produce fluorescence. The fluorescence is then collected to produce an image of the brain tissue.

Abstract: Tracing and testing of the edge (13) between two sheets (6, 7) that are to be welded using a projector (2) that generates a line pattern over the sheet edge which is recorded using a CCD camera (3). The recorded image is analyzed so that from the line pattern conclusions can be made about the gap between the edges and profile of the edges. The analysis of one image is used to control the lighting of the next image so that the line pattern is easy to visualize. An Independent claim is made for a corresponding device using a CCD camera to follow the gap between two plates that are to be welded together. Brightness control is achieved by altering the integration time of the CCD element or the shutter time.

Abstract: A CCD device incorporates Charge Multiplication in its CCD
registers together with charge domain Dynamic Range compression.
This structure preserves the high dynamic range available in the
charge domain of these devices, and avoids limiting it by an
inadequate voltage swing of the charge detection nodes and
amplifiers. The Dynamic Range compression is logarithmic from a
predetermined built in threshold and noiseless. The technique has
an additional advantage of maintaining the compact size of the
registers, and the registers may also include antiblooming devices
to prevent blooming.

Abstract: While a material pipe 1 and a roller 10 are revolved relative to each other with
a predetermined radius, the material pipe 1 and the roller 10 are moved relative to each other
in the direction of progress of forming by eccentrically moving the center axis C1 of the
material pipe 1 and the revolution axis CK of the roller 10 relative to each other and
simultaneously moving the material pipe 1 and the roller 10 relative to each other in the
directions of the axis. During movement in the direction of progress of the forming, an end
portion of the material pipe 1 is deflected by controlling the axis-direction moving portion so
that the roller 10 is moved relative to the material pipe 1 in the direction of the axis when the
circumferential position of the roller 10, with respect to a circumference of the material pipe
1, changes from an inner side of the direction of deflection toward an outer side of the
direction of deflection. This allows the movement of the roller 10 relative to the material
pipe 1 in the direction of the axis to be stopped when the circumferential position of the roller
10 changes from the outer side of the direction of deflection toward the inner side of the
direction of deflection.

Abstract: A recognizing target vocabulary comparing unit
calculates a compared likelihood of a recognizing target
vocabulary, i.e., a compared likelihood of a registered
vocabulary, by using the time series of the amount of
characteristics of an input speech. An environment adaptive
noise model comparing unit calculates a compared likelihood
of a noise model adaptive to a noise environment, i.e., a
compared likelihood of environmental noise. A rejection
determining unit compares the likelihood of the registered
vocabulary with the likelihood of the environmental noise,
and determines whether or not the input speech is the noise.
When it is determined that the input speech is the noise, a
noise model adapting unit adaptively updates an environment
adaptive noise model by using the input speech. Thus, the
environment adaptive noise model matches to a real
environment and the rejection determination can be performed
for a noise input with high accuracy.
