Abstract: The present invention relates to an image
processing apparatus and method thereof, a recording
medium, and a program that is able to adjust precisely
overlap portion of an omnidirectional picture. By
detecting overlap portions of adjacent pictures forming
an omnidirectional picture in a direction of a visual
line, respective is processed by a Laplacian filter, and
they are converted into pictures formed by edges. The
mutually most nearest distance between a picture of the
edge of the first picture denoted by black circle and a
picture of the edge of the second picture denoted by
white circle, and these sum is obtained as edge
differences. By repeating the similar processing while
shifting the pictures so that the edge differences
becomes smaller than a predetermined threshold value, the
first picture and the second picture are precisely set.
This invention is able to adapt to an omnidirectional
camera.

Abstract: A method of determining the concentration of an analyte in a fluid test sample that
includes providing an electrochemical sensor adapted to measure the analyte in the test
sample. The test sample sufficiently covers a counter and working electrode of the
electrochemical sensor. A first potential is applied between the counter and working
electrodes for a first predetermined time period and the current is measured and the time
is recorded. After the first potential is removed or substantially reduced, a second
potential is applied between the counter and working electrodes and the current is
measured. The concentration of the analyte is determined in the test sample as a function
of the current measured. An index is calculated and compared to at least one
predetermined parameter to identify when a bias, if any, exceeds a threshold. An error
signal or analyte concentration is displayed depending on the comparison.

Abstract: The film strip(24) has at least one metal or plastic layer and is guided onto the outer surface(34) of a rotating, cylindrical vacuum drum(30). Vacuum between the film and drum surface draws the film tightly onto the drum surface where a doctor blade(36) applied onto the film creates a crepe effect. Depending on the degree of crepe effect required the crepe film(40) is taken off the drum surface at a speed(VA) lower than that(VM) with which it moves around the drum. The speed difference(VM - VA) produces a degree of crepe effect of 20-100%. The distance between first contact of film strip(24) with the drum surface(34) and the doctor blade(36) is 40-100%, preferably 60-90%, of the drum circumference. Liquid lubricant is applied to the film strip before feeding onto the vacuum drum(30). When producing a crepe effect on a film strip with a plastic layer the drum is heated to the softening temperature of the plastic. An independent claim is included for the process plant which comprises a film strip unwinding unit(22), a heated vacuum drum(30) with suction openings(32) over the surface connected to a vacuum source, a doctor blade(36) and take-off and wind-up equipment(42) for the crepe effect film strip(40).
