Abstract: The present system and apparatus uses image processing to recognize objects within a scene. The system includes an illumination source for illuminating the scene. By controlling the illumination source, an image processing system can take a first digitize image of the scene with the object illuminated a higher level and a second digitized image with the object illuminated at a lower level. Using an algorithm, the object(s) image is segmented from a background image of the scene by a comparison of the two digitized images taken. A processed image (that can be used to characterize features) of the object(s) is then compared to stored reference images. The object is recognized when a match occurs. The system can recognize objects independent of size and number and can be trained to recognize objects that it was not originally programmed to recognize. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention provides controlled expansion endoluminal prostheses and methods for their deployment and expansion. The present stent-grafts generally comprise a radially expansible tubular frame and a plastically expansible liner on the frame. Either the frame or the liner includes a reinforcing element which limits expansion of the stent-graft at a predetermined expanded size. In some embodiments, the reinforcing element restrains the frame, for example, by limiting the circumferential diagonals of perforations on a perforate frame structure. Generally, however, the reinforcing element is included in the liner as circumferentially oriented yarn. A particularly advantageous liner includes composite circumferential yarns having inexpansible fibers wrapped around an expansible fiber, such as a partially oriented yarn, PTFE, or the like.

Abstract: The invention provides a wet-type sprinkler system by which the water damage caused when a sprinkler heads function in a wrong way with ensuring a quick extinguishing operation at the time of fire. A suction pipe is provided for the system so as to communicate with a top part of a secondary pipeline 24 of a feed pipe arrangement 20 forming a water supply line from a water supply unit 16 to sprinkler heads 12. Further, a suction unit (an electromagnetic valve 54 and a suction pump 50) for sucking the air in the secondary pipeline section 24 from the top part of the secondary pipeline section 24 is provided onto the suction pipe 52. The suction pipe 52, the suction pump 50 and the electromagnetic valve 54 constitute a negative-pressure-securing section. In the secondary pipeline 24, which is filled with water in a normal condition water is negatively pressurized by the suction operation of the suction unit. The negatively pressurized state of the water is ensured under a normal condition. Thus, water in the secondary pipeline is prevented from unnecessarily being discharged when the sprinkler heads 12 function in a wrong way.  <IMAGE>
