Abstract: In order to segment a pixellated image having foreground and background regions, a
uniform visual characteristic, such as colour, of the background is determined and,
from this, a non-occluded background image is generated (55). The generated
background image 60 and the image to be segmented 61 are compared, for example
using a two-shot segmentation technique 62, and the pixels of the image are allocated
as foreground or background pixels.

Title: Mesure non invasive du glucose en fonction des proprietes optiques du tissu
Inventor: RUCHTI TIMOTHY L
IPC: G01N21/35
Filed: 2002-01-25
Abstract: Méthodes et appareil pour la détermination non invasive d'analytes dans le sang, tels que le glucose, par spectroscopie NIR (de réflexion dans le proche infrarouge), en fonction des propriétés optiques de tissu, telles que celles réfléchies dans les caractéristiques spectroscopiques clés pour améliorer la précision de mesure. Les conditions physiologiques, telles que le changement de répartition de l'eau dans les compartiments du tissu, induisent des modifications complexes du spectre d'absorbance de la peau et reflètent une modification de la longueur de trajet effective de la lumière, ce qui induit une mesure du glucose non invasive faussée. Les changements de propriétés optiques du tissu sont détectés par l'identification de caractéristiques clés sensibles aux changements physiologiques. Les conditions non propices à la mesure non invasive du glucose sont détectées. Les mesures du glucose non invasives qui sont faussées par des changements physiologiques du tissu sont compensées. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, le glucose est mesuré indirectement en fonction de la réponse physiologique naturelle du tissu à la concentration de glucose. Un dispositif spectroscopique capable d'effectuer lesdites mesures est prévu.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système configuré pour ajuster de manière dynamique le niveau de porteuse ultrasonore dans un système à réseau paramétrique en réponse à des variations de niveaux d'entrée de signal. Le système selon l'invention fait appel à une stratégie de retard pour permettre une anticipation et assurer une modulation optimale de l'onde porteuse dans le but d'éliminer l'émission de porteuse ultrasonore constante et de réduire l'émission de porteuse ultrasonore au niveau réellement nécessaire pour la gamme dynamique (dB) du matériau source, et, dans le même temps, pour minimiser également la distorsion perceptible et les artéfacts sonores d'une porteuse ultrasonore haute puissance, et/ou la distorsion ou les artéfacts provenant de la modulation d'une porteuse ultrasonore afin de réduire la puissance de sortie moyenne. Le système selon l'invention permet ainsi d'obtenir les avantages d'une modulation de porteuse sur la base du niveau de signal source, tout en minimisant les inconvénients inhérents de la modulation de porteuse.

Abstract: Systems and methods for a communication system implementing a short range
communication link between devices advertising available information and services,
and user devices which may initiate a request for further information or services.
The communication system provides a low power solution utilizing an optimized
combination of a carrier sensing and frequency division multiple access to avoid
collisions. The optimization involves the use of a random mean zero value offset
appended to the advertising devices' transmission frames. The offset increases the
likelihood that a first advertising device will recognize the transmissions of another
advertiser's transmissions (i.e., determining that a channel is busy) and avoid
unnecessary transmissions that will result in collisions. Upon recognition, the first
advertiser may shift its transmission frame accordingly, thereby avoiding
transmission collisions between advertisers. The communication system may be
implemented in either a StandAlone LowRate system, or in a device with a pre-existing
operational Bluetooth implementation.
