Abstract: L'invention concerne un système de détection d'objets projetant un ou plusieurs diagrammes sur une zone surveillée, capturant une ou plusieurs images en direct de la zone surveillée, et détectant des objets qui entrent dans la zone surveillée par détection des modifications dans un ou plusieurs diagrammes dans les images en direct. Ledit système est moins sensible à des conditions de luminosité dynamiques, et plus sensible à des intrusions d'objets. Par exemple, un motif de points est projeté sur une zone à surveiller, et des images correspondant à cette zone sont capturées, puis une comparaison entre des images en direct et des images référence est effectuée pour déterminer si un objet est entré dans une zone définie. La zone à surveiller ne se résume pas seulement à la zone capturée dans les images, mais elle peut comprendre un volume éclairé par le diagramme ainsi qu'un volume correspondant à la zone d'images capturée. Les objets qui ne sont pas dans le champ de vision peuvent être détectés par les systèmes et procédés de l'invention. L'invention concerne également plusieurs procédés caractéristiques analytiques.

Abstract: The invention relates to a haemodialysis device. The majority of blood treatments using a device of this type take place in an ambulant manner in designated centres and a dialysis patient must advise said centres of travel arrangements. The aim of the invention is to develop a medical device of this type in such a way that it has a simple construction, requires few components, is space-saving and thus allows treatment for the patient whilst travelling, enabling said patient to bridge the gap between hospital stays and offering him or her greater flexibility. This is achieved by a haemodialysis device comprising a dialysis fluid container (21) that is situated in a rigid container (26) and contains an initial filled volume prior to the circulation of the dialysis fluid, said dialysis fluid container not completely filling the rigid container (26). A dialysis fluid circulation device (24) circulates a quantity of dialysis fluid, which does not exceed the initial filled volume, over a circulation time period with the aid of a control unit (100).
