Abstract: A cartridge holder (30) for an automated endoscope reprocessor (10) is mounted on a movable rack (14). As the rack is wheeled into the chamber, a connector (164) on the cartridge holder (164) automatically makes a fluid connection with a connection port (158) within the chamber. The cartridge holder includes a base (42) and a lid (44), which is pivotally connected to the base by a hinge (110). A cartridge (40) holding a dose of a disinfectant concentrate or reagents is positioned in a well (50) defined by the base and the lid closed. Water flows through the cartridge holder via a fluid passageway (A) defined in part by the lid and in part by the hinge. The water mixes with the concentrate or reagents and the resulting disinfectant solution passes out of a lower end (205) of the cartridge into the well. The solution flows upwardly, around the cartridge, through an annular space (232) between the cartridge and the well, disinfecting the well in the process. The solution exits the cartridge through a plurality of bores (80) at an upper end of the base.

Abstract: An all-digital frequency conversion apparatus is provided that achieves frequency conversion using a simple phase detector and integer and fractional phase feedback information from a digital oscillator output. In an embodiment, a target phase accumulator unit generates a target phase signal to the phase detector unit. The target phase accumulator unit receives inputs from a reference signal input, and a target phase input value. The digital phase detector unit receives the reference signal, a current phase feedback input signal, and the target phase input signal. The phase detector unit outputs a frequency setting signal to a frequency value generator unit. The detector output is based on the difference between the current phase and the target phase. A frequency value generator unit is configured to output a frequency value signal to a digital oscillator unit that generates a corresponding digital output signal that is directly fed back to the current phase feedback input of the phase detector unit. A method, computing system, and software product that implement the present invention are also provided.

Abstract: Vertical electromagnetic stirring is used to produce low shear, stress, turbulent and chaotic mixing of a liquid material or suspension in a container regardless of the volume or container geometry. Movement of a magnetic stir bar is controlled by multiple magnetic fields. The magnetic fields are produced by a series of sequentially or non-sequentially activated inductor coils which produce asymmetrical stirring dynamics and random motions of the stir bar, causing the liquid material to be gently and effectively mixed throughout the container. Moving the stir bar in random and irregular patterns during the stirring operation creates turbulent and chaotic mixing dynamics. The stir bars used for supporting vertical magnetic stirring are specifically designed to optimize the effectivity of the mixing process by maximizing the length of the stir bar to quickly and gently mix the materials.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing, by means of working, mixing and homogenizing, castable explosive substances of high viscosity containing crystalline and/or particulate explosives and, if appropriate, other action-enhancing additives and such small quantities of binder and other viscosity-reducing agents that the mixture in the unworked state virtually feels like and behaves like a dry powder. In order to achieve the desired working, mixing and homogenizing, the components are brought to the roll nip between two helically grooved rolls, which form part of a so-called mixing, sheaving and rolling mill. The rolls are arranged at an adjustable distance from each other and counter-rotating at different speeds. The mixture is worked on and between the rolls until the air between the particles included has been pressed out sufficiently to convert the previously pulverulent mixture to a coherent mass of high viscosity. The material is removed from the fastest rotating roll in continuous form or in a newly formed particulate form associated therewith.

Abstract: The present invention is a method and apparatus for determing the distance of a surface patch of an object from a camera system and also for focusing a surface patch of such object as well as obtaining an improved focus image of the surface patch. The present invention also includes a method of determining a set of unknown parameters of a linear shift-invariant system. The camera system of the present invention has an aperture through which light enters, an image detector, an image forming optical system having first and second principal planes and a focal length, the second principal plane arranged closer to the image detector than the first principal plane, a light filter a camera controller, and an image processor operatively connected to the image detector and to the camera controller. The camera is set to a first set of camera parameters which include the distance (s) between the second principal plane and the image detector, the diameter (@) of the camera aperture, the focal length ( NLG ) of the camera system and the spectral characteristic ( lambda ) of light transmitted by the light filter. The first image is recorded on the image detector and is preprocessed as a digital signal to provide a first normalized image related to the point spread function of the camera system by a convolution operation. A first set of Fourier coefficients are calculated at a set of discrete spatial frequencies. Then at least one of the camera parameters is changed and a second image is formed on the image detector and is processed as the first image was processed. The first set of Fourier coefficients are divided by the second set of Fourier coefficients to provide a set of ratio values. A single mathematical relationship corresponding to each member of the set of ratios is provided without the necessity of an intermediate parameter and without regard to the form of the point spread function of the camera system. The relationship represents the ratio of the optical transfer function of the first normalized image to the optical transfer function of the second normalized image. The mathematical relationship depends only on the camera parameters and has one unknown, which is equal to the distance of the surface patch from the camera system. The ratio value can be substituted in a single mathematical relationship to obtain a set of equations which can be solved to determine the distance of the surface patch from the camera system. Alternatively, the set of ratio values can be compared to the values in a look-up table stored in computer memory. The location in the table where the stored values match the ratio values gives the distance of the object from the camera system. The apparatus and the method of the present invention are widely applicable and they significantly enhance the efficiency of image processing to provide the distance of an object and required changes in the camera parameters to focus the object.

Each of the hard disks (22) stores still video images as either 525 or 625 line digital frames for either NTSC or PAL composite signal inputs and outputs. Y and C fields of component video signal information are supplied from the hard disks (22) through the buffer store (24) and one of the frame stores 18 and 20 to a compositor (28) for output as digital 4:2:2 video signals. The buffer store (24) obtains the video signal fields for either full size images or 1/4 size images, when an array for browsing and selection is desired. When the 1/4 size images are desired, the field video signals are obtained by addressing every fourth pixel of the field for readout. <IMAGE>
