Abstract: A system characterized tissue using fluorescence spectroscopy, such as light-induced fluorescence. Native fluorescence ("autofluorescence") from endogenous tissue without requiring fluorescence-enhancing agents is used to distinguish between normal tissue, hyperplastic tissue, adenomatous tissue, and adenocarcinomas. The system provides endoscopic image enhancement for easy location of a tissue site for optical biopsy tissue characterization. The system allows the use of an integrated endoscopic diagnosis and treatment device for immediate diagnosis and treatment without interchanging equipment and relocating the tissue site. The system is also integrated with existing endoscopy equipment for initiating and displaying the diagnosis. The system provides an adjunctive tool to histopathological tissue classification or, alternatively, further treatment is based on the optical biopsy system diagnosis itself.

Abstract: A method of estimating background noise in a signal. The signal is divided into blocks of equal predetermined length. The minimum energy of the signal during the length of each block is determined. The minimum energy determined for the current block is compared to a previous determination of minimum energy. If the current minimum energy exceeds a predetermined maximum energy level, the current block minimum energy is discarded and the previous determination remains unchanged. If the current block minimum energy is below the previous determination, the previous estimate is reduced by the difference between the previous determination and current minimum energy. If the current energy is above the previous determination but below the maximum, the previous estimate is increased by half of the difference between the current energy and the previous estimate. The increase factor may also be adjusted to increase the current estimated energy level by a factor of any amount between and including 0 and 1. The estimation of minimum energy, or background energy, therefore decreases in direct proportion to a drop in minimum energy determination but increases only as a partial factor of new determinations.

Abstract: A belt tensioner for tensioning a belt for a motor vehicle comprises a pivot shaft, a pivoting structure mounted for pivotal movement on the pivot shaft, and a pulley mounted for rotation on the pivoting structure. A spring biases the pivoting structure in a direction that moves the pulley mounted on the pivoting structure into tensioning engagement with the belt. A bolt is constructed and arranged to mount the belt tensioner on the motor vehicle engine mount. The bolt is constructed and arranged to be tightened to a predetermined extent for installing the tensioner of the motor vehicle, the predetermined extent is the same extent to which the bolt is tightened during normal operation of the tensioner. A clamping structure applies a predetermined clamping force on the pivot shaft after the bolt is tightened to the predetermined extent. The predetermined clamping force is sufficiently large to maintain the pivot shaft in perpendicular relation to the engine mount and prevent tilting of the pivot shaft when the tensioner is moved into installed tensioning engagement with the belt, yet sufficiently small to permit manual movement of the pivot shaft relative to the mounting bolt for adjusting the amount of tension applied by the tensioner to the belt.

Abstract: The substrate of the invention is coated with a mesoporous film. It is characterized in that chemical molecules, especially hydrophobic/oleophobic molecules, are bonded to the mesoporous film. The invention also relates to a process for manufacturing this substrate, in which: the substrate is brought into contact with a composition formed from organic assembling groups and from a precursor for the mesoporous material; the precursor precipitates around the assembling groups and polymerizes; and the assembling groups are removed. This process is distinguished by the fact that chemical molecules, such as hydrophobic/oleophobic molecules, are then brought into contact with the mesoporous film. The invention also relates to glazing, for buildings or transportation vehicles, which includes this substrate.

Abstract: A detector is used to sample of set of power measurements of a receive signal. The receive signal may comprise one or more signals from remote users as well as interference. A variance of the set of power measurements is also determined. The variance is compared to an overload threshold value. If the variance exceeds the overload threshold value, for some period of time, the system is declared to be operating at a potentially unstable point. In this state, future connection originations are denied.
