Patent CA-2381038-C (CA)
Inventor: ROMASCHIN ALEXANDER D
IPC: G01N33/58
Filed: 1999-11-30
Granted: 2011-01-25
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for measuring the level of a preselected analyte in a sample of blood of a human or animal patient by incubating the test sample with an antibody specific to the analyte to form an immunocomplex, which then interacts with the white blood cell fractions and result in the production of oxidants. Oxidants are detected using chemiluminescent reagents. The assay is performed on the sample and in addition includes a measurement of the oxidant production resulting from a maximal stimulatory dose of immunocomplexes, providing a ratio to indicate the level of analyte in the sample. The white blood cell oxidant response may be enhanced by the inclusion of certain agents such as zymosan. This method may be used to determine levels of analytes in a sample of a patient's blood including endotoxin and other analytes.

IPC: G01J1/02
Filed: 1998-12-04
Granted: 2007-03-20
Abstract: A method and apparatus for precision distance measurement are provided to perform accurate measurement of distance to an object according to light spo ts formed on the light-receiving surface of a detector even when multiple reflections are involved. A beam of light emitted from a light source and reflected from the object is focused on the viewing surface as light spots through an optical member. The focal position of a reflected beam of light is determined according to a focal position detectio n process. When there are peaks in a luminosity curve generated on the detector, prior to performing the focal position detection process, the peaks are separated int o individual light spots and a correct light spot for deriving the precise distance is selected by a selection process. The invention also provides methods for each of spot separation, spot selection, luminosity distribution restoration, and focal position detection.

Title: Output-compensating device for image sensor
Inventor: FURUKAWA MAKOTO
IPC: H04N5/335
Filed: 2001-11-09
Granted: 2009-09-15
Abstract: Is disclosed an output compensating device capable of optimally compensating output signals of an image sensor composed of a number of light-sensor circuits, each of which represents a unit pixel and is capable of producing in a photoelectric converting element a sensor current proportional to a quantity of light falling thereon, converting the current into a voltage signal by a MOS type transistor with a logarithmic output characteristic in a weak inverse state, initializing itself by removing a charge accumulated in a parasitic capacity of the photoelectric converting element by changing a drain voltage of the transistor to a value lower than a normal value for a specified time and outputting a pixel signal having a logarithmic characteristic at a large quantity of the sensor current and a pixel signal having a non-logarithmic characteristic at a small quantity of the sensor current.  This device has a means for compensating each pixel signal from the image sensor for an offset value and outputting a resulting signal if said signal has an output characteristic within a logarithmic response region or a non-logarithmic region depending on the output condition and, if not, further compensating the offset-compensated signal for its gain and outputting a resulting signal, thus ensuring the optimal compensation of each pixel signal of the image sensor in accordance with its output state.
