Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and device for obtaining an image of a crumpled document from an image of said document when same is crumpled. The method comprises a step of determining a three-dimensional geometric model of the surface of the crumpled document by means of triangulating three-dimensional points predetermined from the pattern of a test pattern extracted from the image of said document when same is crumpled; the method is characterized in that said method comprises a step of determining a projection of the three-dimensional geometric model onto a so-called acquisition plane, by means of error minimization of said projection under constraints of preserving defined geometric characteristics in the vicinity of the three-dimensional points, and in that said method comprises a step of superimposing the textures associated with the three-dimensional model onto the projection of said model thus predetermined. The present invention likewise relates to test patterns which enable the quality of the image resulting from the method to be improved and/or to reduce the cost for computing said image.

Abstract: A solids heat exchanger (10) is in the form of a shell and tube arrangement having a shell section (11) through which heated oil (12) passes and a tube section (13). A screw conveyor (14) extends along its length and has a drive motor (15). Drill cuttings or other hydrocarbon contaminated materials are fed in through an inlet (16) and then conveyed along the tube (13) where heat transfer takes place. On exiting the tube (13) oil and water vapour rises and escapes through a first outlet (17) while the now cleaned drill cuttings or other materials fall through a second outlet (18) forming a discharge zone. The apparatus aims to reduce the oil content of the solids to less than 0.5%. The solids can then simply be disposed of. The base oil can be reclaimed and reused.

Abstract: An endoglucanase gene or a ß-glucosidase gene can be identified by isolating genomic DNA containing a gene for a cellulase that is classified as an endoglucanase or a ß-glucosidase from Acremonium cellulolyticus and analyzing the nucleotide sequence for the genomic DNA. Amino acid sequences for known endoglucanases and ß-glucosidases are compared with each other extensively, and an amino acid sequence which can be conserved in Acremonium cellulolyticus is found. Based on the information for the amino acid sequence, various primers are designed. Using the various primers thus designed, a PCR is carried out employing genomic DNA or cDNA as a template. As a result, fragments of genes for endoglucanases and genes for ß-glucosidases can be obtained. Primers are designed based on the gene fragments, the PCR is continued using the primers to amplify each of a total of nine endoglucanase and ß-glucosidase genes, and the nucleotide sequences for the amplification products are analyzed.

Abstract: Devices and methods for accessing the pericardial space of a heart are described here. Access devices may generally comprise a tissue-engaging member, a tissue-piercing member, and a guide element. The access device may be introduced to the surface of a pericardium, where the tissue-engaging member may be deployed to engage a portion of the pericardium without engaging the epicardial surface of the heart. Once the access device has engaged the pericardium, the device may manipulate the pericardium to increase the distance between a portion of the pericardium and the epicardial surface of the heart. Once a sufficient space has been created, the tissue-piercing member may be advanced to pierce the pericardium and enter the pericardial space. The guide element may then be introduced into the pericardial space to provide an access pathway to the heart for other devices.

Abstract: A patient monitoring and alarm system is arranged to track vital sign data of patients from a plurality of heterogeneous monitoring devices. A protocol translation adapter is associated with each monitoring device to translate the heterogeneous data into a standard language for vital sign monitoring, and to wirelessly transmit the translated data to an associated access point of a server for further processing. At the server, the data is analyzed according to a standard vital sign rule set for determining alarm conditions, and alarms are expressed via one or more interfaces to the server in one or more of visual, aural, text and text-to-speech forms. The vital sign rule set accounts for current patient events and conditions in determining an alarm condition. The server also applies an escalation rules base for the escalation of alarms.
