Abstract: An actuator assembly is used in a surgical simulation system that simulates the catheterization of cardiac or peripheral vasculature. The simulation system provides haptic feedback to a user of a set of catheters or similar tubular objects coupled to the system. The actuator assembly is coupled to the objects, and also to a workstation executing a surgical procedure simulation program. The actuator assembly has a set of spaced-apart actuators, each actuator being mechanically coupled to a corresponding object through a rigid tube used as an extension of the object within the actuator assembly. Each actuator in the assembly includes sensors that generate sense signals indicative of axial translation and rotation of the object by the user. The sense signals are provided to the workstation. In response, the workstation calculates axial forces and torques to be applied to the object as haptic feedback to the user, and provides drive signals to the actuator assembly. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The method involves dividing the scanned document digital image into foreground, background and binary mask images, producing a locally variable threshold image from the original document and generating a bi-tonal quantization image. The background image is generated with reduced resolution from the original, bi-tonal mask images and the binary mask image, foreground image and background image are encoded with a conventional image encoder. The method involves dividing the digital image of the scanned document into three image planes, a foreground image, a background image and a binary mask image, producing a locally variable threshold image from the original document and generating a bi-tonal quantization image with the original image. Quantization is performed using a reduced original image, then the image is segmented into foreground and background regions. Certain regions, especially text and graphics elements are associated with the foreground image, text background and images of the background image. The foreground image generated from the original and mask images with reduced resolution describes the foreground region coloring. The background image is generated with reduced resolution from the original and bi-tonal mask images and the binary mask image, foreground image and background image are encoded with a conventional image encoder.

Abstract: A measuring apparatus and method for measuring power in a bicycle are described. The hub of the driven wheel of the bicycle includes one or more components such as an inner hub member, an outer hub member or a linking member which couple the rotational torque through the wheel to rotate the wheel. A sensor such as one or more strain gauges is mounted on one of the components that couple torque through the wheel such that strain in the torque coupling component is detected. The detected strain is used to determine applied torque which is used to determine power applied to the driven wheel of the bicycle. Because the torque coupling component is mounted in the hub in the path along which torque is coupled through the wheel, the sensor rotates with the wheel as it detects the applied torque.

Abstract: The invention concerns a lighter-than-water probe (1, 8), equipped with a sensor for measuring variables, themselves covered with a sealing pressure-resistant protective capsule (8). The method consists in dropping the assembly on the seabed by ballasting the capsule(steps a, b, c, d); then in controlling (step e) the release of the probe by placing the capsule (8). By the action of hydrostatic forces and gravity, the probe overturns (step f) and starts going up (step g), sensors facing upwards; the very release of the probe itself controls the activation of the sensors, the sampling process and the recording of data on board thereof. When it surfaces (step h), the data are transferred by radiofrequency channel means to a centre for processing the measurements.

Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à une lentille intra-oculaire supplémentaire (116) conçue pour être implantée dans l'oeil, en vue de modifier le système optique de l'oeil comprenant la cornée et le cristallin naturel ou une lentille intra-oculaire (104) déjà implantée dans l'oeil, en vue de créer un système optique modifié ayant des capacités télédioptiques ou d'autres capacités diffractives, afin de corriger la dégénérescence de la macula. Afin de créer ce système de lentille télédioptique, on conçoit cette lentille intra-oculaire supplémentaire (116) avec pour ainsi dire aucune puissance de réfraction, à l'exception d'une partie de lentille négative en son centre. Une fois implantée dans le cristallin naturel ou un cristallin artificiel préalablement implanté et utilisée dans l'oeil sans verre optique externe, cette lentille intra-oculaire supplémentaire (116) permet aux rayons lumineux d'arriver sur la rétine de l'oeil comme ils le feraient en l'absence de lentille intra-oculaire supplémentaire, offrant ainsi une vision sans agrandissement et une vision périphérique non restreinte.

Abstract: A bottled water/tap water cooler and compact oxygen generator system combined within a single housing structure. The oxygen generator includes an air compressor for generating compressed air and uses two molecular sieve beds that operate one after the other. As a first molecular sieve bed absorbs nitrogen, up to approximately 95% pure oxygen is allowed to pass therethrough to a flow meter and into a diffuser which passes the oxygen into a purified drinking water reservoir supplied by the bottled water or filtered tap water. After the first molecular sieve bed is full, the second molecular sieve bed activates and starts absorbing nitrogen while allowing oxygen to pass therethrough, simultaneously, nitrogen is vented from the first molecular sieve into the atmosphere. The first and second molecular sieve beds alternate with one another allowing the system to run continuously by using timer controlled dual 3-way valves.
