Abstract: A feeding tube position confirmation device having an input optical waveguide and an output optical waveguide dimensioned to be insertable into the lumen of a feeding tube. A sensor is disposed on the optical waveguides at a position thereon which corresponds to the predetermined portion of the feeding tube. The sensor means has a colour change indicator operable to change colour relative to the chemical content of the environment proximate thereto. The input optical waveguide is operable to carry light to the sensor means and the colour change indicator is operable to change to a predetermined colour upon detection of a predetermined chemical content The sensor means causes a change in the colour of the input light to provide an output light of a predetermined colour indicative of the position of the said feeding tube. The output light is carried to the proximate end of the position confirmation device, by the output optical waveguide, at which it is viewed by the user to determine the position of the said tube in the human or animal body.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the digital processing of images, and, more particularly, to the digital filtering of fingerprint images. The present invention can be used in criminalistics for fingerprint identification. The object of the present invention is to develop a method for filtering a fingerprint image, that provides effective image processing in the areas where the curvature of fingerprint lines is high. This object is achieved by providing a method for filtering a fingerprint image, the method including the step of sequentially processing areas of the image by a directional filter having at least one central ridge and adapted to local properties of respective areas of the image, the local properties including distance between the ridges, orientation of the fingerprint line, and curvature of the same. Further steps include adapting the filter to the local curvature by curving at least one central ridge of the filter in the plane of spatial coordinates in such a way its curvature is brought into proximity with the curvature of the fingerprint line.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé de stérilisation pour des objets de rayonnement qui présentent une biocharge basse et qui sont sensibles au rayonnement. On détermine un dosage de rayonnement suffisant pour garantir la stérilisation sans endommager l'objet, en identifiant la biocharge sur un ou plusieurs échantillons des objets. Pour ce faire, on établit une estimation de ladite dose, qui débouche sur une probabilité de 0,01 d'un microorganisme survivant, en testant une quantité d'échantillon des objets à des niveaux de dosage variés de rayonnement. Puis l'on confirme l'estimation en testant une quantité des échantillons à la dose qui a été estimée. Enfin, on calcule un dosage pour le niveau de garantie de stérilité de 10-6 en ajoutant un facteur à la dose qui a été confirmée, ce qui débouche sur une probabilité de 0,01 d'un microorganisme survivant. Ledit facteur est proportionnel à la dose qui produit une probabilité de 0,01 d'un microorganisme survivant et inversement proportionnel à un logarithme de la biocharge.
