Inventor: FRIGHT WILLIAM RICHARD
IPC: A61B5/107
Filed: 2006-10-13
Abstract: Dimensions of a surface feature are determined by capturing an image of the surface feature and determining a scale associated with the image. Structured light may be projected onto the surface, such that the position of structured light in the captured image allows determination of scale. A non-planar surface may be unwrapped. The surface may alternatively be projected into a plane to correct for the scene being tilted with respect to the camera axis. A border of the surface feature may be input manually by a user. An apparatus and system for implementing the method are also disclosed.

Abstract: In the adhesive pharmaceutical preparation of the invention containing bisoprolol, a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is laminated on one side of the backing. The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer contains a branched monoalcohol having from 12 to 28 carbon atoms, a free base of bisoprolol and a polyisobutylene pressure-sensitive adhesive. Accordingly, compatibility of the polyisobutylene pressure-sensitive adhesive with the free base of bisoprolol can be specifically increased. As a result, not only it becomes possible to increase blending amount of the free base of bisoprolol but also bleed of the free base of bisoprolol from the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer can be suppressed and, what is more, the pressure-sensitive adhesion characteristics sufficient from the practical point of view can be obtained.
