Title: Method for recording ultrasound images of moving objects
Inventor: MUMM BERNHARD
IPC: A61B5/352
Filed: 1998-07-16
Abstract: An apparatus and method for recording ultrasound images of a moving object is disclosed. The apparatus includes an ultrasound transmitter, an ultrasound receiver, and an image processor. At least one of the ultrasound transmitter and receiver is moved in relation to an object. Images of the object are acquired, and a movement state of the object is determined and classified into one of two movement states. Based on the movement state of the object, images are either not acquired, or not processed. If the image of the object is not processed, the image processor filters out the images which were acquired during a movement state of the object when the movement is high. The image processor then assembles the images and displays the assembled images.

Abstract: A method for removing color and extracting dyes from ionically dyeable
polymeric materials is provided. The method includes contacting the ionically dyeable
polymeric material with a swelling agent for the material under conditions sufficient to
effect diffusion of the dye from the material. The process is especially useful for

each have a light signal input terminal (13a to 13d) and a light signal
output terminal (14a to 14d). The coupler further comprises an optical fiber
coupling ring.
The input terminals (13a to 13d) of the optical fibers (12a to 12d) are opposite to each other and
likewise the output terminals (14a to 14d) of the optical fibers. In
this configuration, the input terminal (13a) of a first optical fiber (12a)
