Abstract: A computer-controlled method for preparing organs for long-term preservation through the introduction of vitrifiable concentration of cryoprotectant and subsequently preparing organs for transplantation by the removal of the cryoprotectant comprises the steps of: (a) initially perfusing the organ without cryoprotectant; (b) adding a cryoprotectant solution to the organ and gradually elevating the cryoprotectant concentration to a first predetermined level while concurrently reducing the temperature of the organ; (c) delaying an increase in the concentration of said cryoprotectant for a time sufficient to permit approximate osmotic equilibrium of the organ to occur; (d) elevating the cryoprotectant concentration of said solution to a level, greater than said first predetermined level, required for vitrification and maintaining the solution at the elevated concentration for a time sufficient to permit approximate osmotic equilibrium of the organ to occur; (e) perfusing the organ with a reduced, non-vitrifiable concentration of cryoprotectant in combination with a nonpenetrating osmotic buffering agent for a time period sufficient to permit approximate osmotic equilibrium of the organ to occur; (f) washing out substantially all of the cryoprotectant while decreasing the concentration of the osmotic buffering agent to a second, nonzero level substantially below said first buffering agent concentration level and concurrently increasing the temperature of the organ; and (g) perfusing the organ to remove the osmotic buffering agent sufficiently to render the organ suitable for transplantation.

Abstract: A system and methods for creating user definable windows for applying image processing, particularly useful in a post-production color correction equipment. The luminance values of a key image are captured in a key frame buffer. The key image is edited in a  paint  mode to enhance the luminance values or eliminate regions of the image, to define a region of interest. The key image is then converted to a 1-bit image. The 1-bit image is vectorized to derive a user defined window. The user defined window, comprising a closed polygon, is converted on a frame-by-frame basis to a bit map matte that is keyed with image processing such as color correction values. The user defined windows can be edited and stored and recalled for use in other frames. A user defined window for a first frame of a scene can be transformed or morphed into a user defined window for a final frame of a scene, with the system automatically interpolating between the beginning window and the ending window so that the window is automatically moved, resized, and changed in geometry during the succession of frames in a scene.

Abstract: A slider of a slide fastener is free from any damage
that may arise when a lug (4) is deformed and springs back
and an upper wing (1) is protected against undesired
deformation. A pair of rear lateral legs (4b, 4b) project
downward from the lug (4). A gap (D) is defined between the
rear lateral legs (4b, 4b) and the upper wing (1). One or
more longitudinal ribs(4d) are formed on the lower surface
of the lug (4). If excessively pinching force is applied
to the lug (4) to close the gap (D), the upper wing is kept
free from any local deformation because the rear lateral
legs (4b) absorb the excessive force. Also, if the lug (4)
springs back, because the rear lateral legs (4b) restore
their original positions, they are held in close contact
with the upper wing.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and
system in computer systems for converting an original
image into another image having fewer colors than the
original image. This method and system attempt to
preserve the contrast of the original image. As a
result, this method and system are particularly well-suited
for converting images that are relatively small in
size. A computer system in which the present invention
operates includes a computer connected to a display
device and a secondary storage device. An image
converter is stored in the secondary storage device for
execution by the computer. In operation, the computer
receives an original image to be displayed on the display
device. The image converter converts the original image
into another image having fewer colors than the original
image. Lastly, the computer displays the converted image
on the display device. In order to convert the original
image, the image converter determines which pixels in the
original image are opaque in the converted image. For
the pixels that are opaque in the converted image, the
image converter determines a gray-scale representation of
the pixels. For the same pixels, the image converter
then determines a black-and-white representation of the
pixels. Next, the image converter determines the color
assigned to the black pixels in the converted image and
the color assigned to the white pixels in the converted
image. Lastly, the image converter specifies the
representation of the converted image.

Abstract: The system passes an analogue signal current varying between two limits over the cable. The current represents a measurement value detected by a sensor (16) and forms the supply current required for the operation of the transmitter (10), which contains a circuit which derives a constant operating voltage. A controllable current source (32) determines the current flowing over the two-wire cable (14) depending on the measurement value. The circuit generating the transmitter operating voltage is a switching regulator (36). The output voltage from a voltage source (34) in the transmitter varies in opposition to the signal current and forms the input voltage to the downward switching regulator.

Abstract: A light beam emitted by a surface illuminant (11)
reaches the surface of a transparent base layer (15) of
a recess/projection detection optical element (13). A
light beam emitted almost vertically is emitted to an
air layer. A light beam incident on the transparent
base layer at an angle larger than a total reflection
angle returns to a two-dimensional photosensor (12) at
a portion contacting the air layer, but scatters in a
transparent particle at a portion contacting the
transparent particle (16). When a finger (31) is
brought into contact with a scattering reflection layer
(14), the scattering reflection state does not change
in an area corresponding to a valley (31a) of a
fingertip. As indicated by an arrow C, an amount of
reflected light beam is large. In an area
corresponding to a ridge (31b) of the fingertip, the
light beam scattered by the transparent particle is
absorbed. The amount of reflected light beam is small,
as indicated by an arrow D. An image having bright and
dark portions optically emphasized in correspondence
with the valley and ridge of the fingertip of the
finger can be obtained.
