Abstract: All passenger compartment discharge vents are closed except one, e.g. (16) on the dashboard (18), and maximum cold air flow established via the filter (12). The foam-padded (32) mouth (30) of a funnel (18) is placed over the vent grill (20), so that the whole air flow (F) passes down the associated duct (26) into (36) a measuring instrument, e.g. an air pressure gauge (24), in which air pressure is compared with that introduced (38) from the passenger compartment (40). The equipment is assembled in situ for the test, the funnel design being specific to the vehicle type, the remaining items non-specific. The comparator has indicator lights (42,44) and presents the results on a digital display (46). The parameter checked may be airflow or air-speed. Comparisons are made with the results of type tests on new installations under similar conditions.

Abstract: A glycated hemoglobin assay utilizes a simple procedure for the determination of standardized %GHb in whole blood samples correlated to the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT). First, a lysed whole blood sample is incubated with a solid phase that is coupled with boronic acid or similar boronate compound through covalent linkage chemistries known in the art. Next, a labeled antibody to human hemoglobin is added and the resulting signal is directly proportional to the %GHb in the sample. The advantages of measuring %GHb using a single determination include high precision and, since the assay is easily automatable, high throughput. With automation, this assay can also be consolidated with other testing on one analyzer. The method according to the various embodiments of the invention thus eliminates the need for two measurements: one for GHb and another for total hemoglobin (THb).

Abstract: A system for determining the spatial position and orientation of each of a plurality of bodies. Each one of the bodies has at least three markers in a predetermined, relative geometric relationship. The markers are adapted to emit energy in response to an activation signal and/or to reflect energy impinging upon such passive marker from an activatable energy source. A common energy detector is provided for detecting the energy emitted by the active marker and the energy reflected by the passive marker. A common processor is provided. The processor has a memory. The memory has stored therein the predetermined, relative geometric relation of the markers for each one of the bodies. The processor compares the stored predetermined geometric relation of the markers for each of the bodies with the energy detected by the energy detector to identify the bodies emitting/or reflecting the detected energy. With such an arrangement, a body can be tracked using a very simple sequence of operation in real-time with robust positive marker identification by taking advantage of a simple marker placement methodology. Multiple bodies can scan thereby be tracked simultaneously.

Abstract: A method and a system for processing images using interpolating. A variation value for different sets of pixels is determined, and the set of pixels with the highest correlation (lowest numeric value) is selected. A missing color at a given pixel is expressed in terms of the information contained in the selected set of pixels. If the variation value is below a certain threshold, due to noise or other factors, an alternative set of pixels using a different variation method may be selected. The missing color is estimated as a weighted sum of, e.g., the green samples divided by the weighted sum of, e.g., the red samples multiplied by the sampled value from the pixel to be estimated.

Abstract: This type of sole is applicable to any type of winter footwear, including ski boots and apres-ski shoes. The purpose is to avoid the problem of sliding on slippery (icy or snow covered) ground, made possible with this invention thanks to the devices inserted in the sole, one or two as the case may be: one in the heel and one near the tip. Characteristic features are the devices containing brads which, manually actuated when required, project beneath the sole, taking up their working position to ensure an effective traction on slippery ground and avoiding the above-mentioned problem. When no longer needed, the brads are again manually retracted into their seat, vanishing from view. <IMAGE>
