Filed: 2001-08-06
Abstract: A system and method for automatically altering an image having pixels is disclosed. An image is segmented into regions and various features of the regions are extracted and used to calculate a confidence factor, or belief value, that a particular region is a main subject of the image. The belief values are assembled into a belief map that is used to define how pixel values are to be altered. Various color and appearance values of the pixel are altered in a predetermined way to emphasize the main subject of the image. The emphasis is applied in a binary fashion or as in a gradient of values. Either the main subject can be emphasized, or the secondary or background subjects can be de-emphasized. The system can be implement on a variety of computer systems.

Abstract: An auxiliary groove (16) is formed in tire
circumferential direction on a tire central plane of
an pneumatic tire according to the present invention.
This auxiliary groove (16) is formed, whereby a negative
ratio of a center region other than the lug groove is
set to 10% to 25%. Thus, a tread heat radiation quantity
can be decreased, and a surface area of a tire can be
increased. As a result, heat radiation properties can
be improved. In addition, as long as the negative ratio
is within the above set range, the wear of the tread
can be reduced to the minimum. Namely, according to
the present invention, there can be provided an
pneumatic tire capable of both reducing the wear of the
tread to the minimum and improving a heat radiation
effect.

Abstract: The present invention relates to polymeric medical articles comprising the antiinfective agents chlorhexidine and triclosan. It is based, at least in part, on the discovery that the synergistic relationship between these compounds permits the use of relatively low levels of both agents, and on the discovery that effective antimicrobial activity may be achieved when these compounds are comprised in either hydrophilic or hydrophobic polymers. It is also based on the discovery that chlorhexidine free base and triclosan, used together, are incorporated into polymeric medical articles more efficiently. Medical articles prepared according to the invention offer the advantage of preventing or inhibiting infection while avoiding undesirably high release of antiinfective agent, for example into the bloodstream of a subject.
