Inventor: GOUJON DIDIER
IPC: A61B5/00
Filed: 2002-03-28
Abstract: There is described a device for the picture-providing diagnosis of tissue with the selective application of two diagnosis methods, specifically an operating mode for the picture-providing white light diagnosis and an operating mode for the picture-providing auto-fluorescence. The device has a light source (2) whose light is led to the tissue via an endoscope (3), wherein in the endoscope there is arranged a picture transmission unit (4) which leads the picture of the tissue (1) to a colour camera (5). The colour camera comprises three sensors (6, 7, 8) allocated to the colour regions red, green and blue which are in connection with a picture processor unit (9) which provides a monitor (10) with the picture signals. For increasing the sensitivity and specifity of the diagnosis device with the picture-providing autofluorescence diagnosis of pre-malignant and early-malignant tissue with respect to benign tissue as well as for increasing the picture quality it is envisaged that the light source (2) apart from the fluorescence excitation light additionally further emits so much red light that the red light remitted at the tissue significantly dominates the red fluorescence light and the picture processor unit (9) of the camera contains means with which the electrical signal originating from the sensor for the red picture part share in the operating mode of the picture-providing autofluorescence diagnosis is damped in a manner such that benign tissue appears in a strong green and early-malignant and malign tissue appears in a strong red. The manner of proceeding permits for both diagnosis methods the application of above all things a 3-chip camera which is conventional with regard to the optical camera head specification.

IPC: G01B5/255
Filed: 2001-03-19
Abstract: A method for measuring side run-out of a wheel by turning the wheel mounted on a roller supported rotatably. It is judged whether or not the difference between the side run-out of a wheel at the start point of one turn and the end point of the one turn falls within a specified range or not. If it falls within the specified range, the difference between the maximum and minimum values of the side run-out during rotation is defined as the side run-out of the wheel. Even if the wheel is displaced during measurement to cause variation in the measurement value of the side run-out, the varied measurement value can be removed and highly accurate side run-out and side run-out width can be obtained.
