Title: Methods and apparatus for quantifying photo-damage
Inventor: COTTON SYMON
IPC: A61B5/103
Filed: 2008-09-18
Abstract: A method of obtaining a measurement of the extent of telangectasia in an area of skin is disclosed. Initially (S3-1) an image of an area of skin (2) to be analyzed is obtained. The obtained image is then processed (S3-2-S3-3) to determine blood distribution data indicative of the distribution of blood in an imaged area of skin. This blood distribution data is then converted (S3-5) using a Discrete Fourier Transform and the converted blood distribution data is then processed to obtain a measurement of the extent features in a determined distribution of blood correspond to structures of a predetermined size. The obtained measurement of the extent of telangectasia can then be combined (s3-6) with other measurements of the effects of photo-damage such as measurements of melanin disorder and collagen degradation to obtain a measurement of the extent of photo-damage.

Patent CA-2645797-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LIND JAMES
IPC: B05B5/16
Filed: 2008-12-04
Abstract: A cartridge for an electrohydrodynamic spraying device and a spraying device incorporating the cartridge, where the cartridge includes a locking mechanism. The cartridge is disposable, and can contain therapeutic or other fluid products. The fluid is delivered from the cartridge by a shaft-mounted piston, while the locking mechanism can be selectively engaged with the shaft such that in the engaged position, the locking mechanism prevents the piston from advancing by inhibiting movement of the shaft. When the locking mechanism is disengaged from the shaft, the shaft and piston are free to move, such as in response to a power source in the spraying device. The selective engagement between the locking mechanism and the shaft during periods of inoperability of the spray device prevents the buildup of fluid pressure in the cartridge that otherwise could blurt out upon subsequent operation.

Inventor: BORK MICHAEL
IPC: A23L19/00
Filed: 2007-11-21
Abstract: The invention relates to an extraction method for producing soluble substances from organic plant or animal raw material with high pressure, wherein supercritical gas is used as a solvent and wherein the organic material is filled into one or a plurality of high pressure reservoirs. The high pressure reservoirs are closed and a pressure of more than 800 bar is subsequently applied. In an extraction step, the supercritical gas flows at least once through the filled high pressure reservoir, wherein no additional entraining agent is added to the supercritical gas. Subsequently the charged supercritical gas is fed completely or partially to a separation stage, wherein natural substances or substance mixtures are reacted or separated from each other by lowering the pressure. The pressure in the extraction stage exceeds the maximum solubility pressure of the oil or fat of the raw material in the supercritical gas at least by 10%. The respective oil or fat of the raw material serves as the entraining agent.

Title: Method and apparatus for detecting damage to high-pressure tank
Inventor: YAMABE JUNICHIROU
IPC: G01N29/14
Filed: 2008-07-11
Abstract: A high-pressure tank damage detecting method for detecting a sign of breakage of a high-pressure tank containing a high-pressure fluid in a nondestructive way at an early stage, and an apparatus for the method are provided. By means of an acoustic emission sensor (AE sensor) (1), a sign of breakage caused when a high-pressure tank (2) is filled with a fluid is detected in a nondestructive away. One AE signal detected by the AE sensor (1) is counted as one hit. The hit rate representing a variation with time of the hits is determined, and a sign of breakage is detected from the variation of the hit rate. When a micro-crack in the high-pressure tank (2) progresses or when micro-cracks join and form one macro-crack, the hit rate of the AE signal does not increase with an increase of the internal pressure of the high-pressure tank (2) and comes into a saturated state. The saturated state of the hit rate is judged as a sign of breakage.
