Title: Flat field correction of two-dimensional biochemical assay images
Inventor: NAGHIEH HAMID R
IPC: G01N33/483
Filed: 2002-06-19
Granted: 2007-11-13
Abstract: The optical imaging of two-dimensional solute zone arrays in electrophoresis gels is corrected for nonuniformities in the optical system such as those arising from the light source or from light dispersion underneath the gel. The correction is achieved by the use of a reference plate that responds to a light source uniformly along its length and width by being either uniformly light absorptive or uniformly light transmissive, or by emitting light upon excitation. Thus, any nonuniformities or deviations in the image of the reference plate arise only from nonuniformities or deviations within the optical system. Analogous corrections are made in other two-dimensional assay images, such as microarrays and microtiter plates.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for sensing the presence of the distal end of a source wire in a reference position within a guidance channel of an afterloading apparatus, said afterloading apparatus being used for positioning an energy emitting source fixed to said distal end of said source wire at a desired position within an animal body for radiation therapy treatment purposes, by driving said source wire from said reference position towards said desired position through said guidance channel and a catheter tube, which catheter tube is connected with one tube end to the afterloading apparatus and implanted with its other tube end in said animal body. The invention aims to provide an afterloading apparatus provided with a sensing device is capable of more accurately and reliable detecting the presence of the distal end and more in particularly the presence of the energy emitting source at its reference position, allowing a more save handling of the energy emitting source and thus avoiding hazardous and harmful situations. According to the invention the sensing device is characterized in that a lever element is pivotally mounted near said guidance channel, which lever element is in a first position, when said distal end of said source wire is not present in its reference position and whereas said lever element is in a second position, when said distal end is present in its reference position. With this embodiment it is possible to sense the presence of the distal end and the energy emitting source at several important operational positions within the afterloading apparatus or patient, thus allowing a more exact positioning of the energy emitting source into the patient's body.

Abstract: The device for transporting a load comprises a movable traction means (50) connected with the load. A section of the traction means (50) is brought into contact with at least one roller (40) in order to guide the traction means. The roller comprises a coating (42) and a carrier (41) of the coating, wherein the traction means (50) can be brought into contact with the coating (42). A coefficient of friction for contact between the traction means (50) and the coating (42) is less than the corresponding coefficient of friction for contact between the traction means (50) and the carrier (41). The coating (42) reduces or avoids, on movement of the traction means (50) relative to the roller (40), torsion of the traction means (50) about the longitudinal direction thereof and/or deformation of the traction means (50) transversely to the direction of movement, particularly in the case of movement of the traction means (50) obliquely with respect to the longitudinal direction thereof, and reduces the sensitivity of the traction means (50) relative to wear, particularly for the case that the traction means (50) is under a diagonal tension.

Abstract: The transversely extending frame of a machine has a number of hingedly interconnected frame sections that may be raised and lowered by lift cylinders to convert the machine between a wide- spread working position and a folded-up transport position. Two lift cylinders for raising and lowering inner wing frame sections relative to the central main frame section are anchored at their inner ends to a hydraulically operated holding cylinder that effectively adjusts the positions of the anchor points of the lift cylinder in a lateral sense. Thus, when the holding cylinder is fully contracted, the inner wing frame sections may be lowered by their lift cylinders until the lift cylinders are fully extended, but the outer ends of the inner wing flame sections remain tilted upwardly to a certain extent. Thus, outer wing frame sections connected to the outer ends of the inner wing frame sections also remain slightly lifted off the ground until fully unfolded from the inner wing frame sections. Thereupon, the holding cylinder may be extended to gently lower all wing frame sections to the ground without damaging tools or mounting components for such tools.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a self-expanding device for sealing a defect in a wall, such as a septal defect. The device of the present invention has a helical shaped periphery formed from an elastic wire and at least one eyelet. The eyelet has a non-circular ("asymmetric") shape which allows the eyelet to slide along a guiding mandrel. The non-circular shaped eyelet and mandrel prevent rotation of the eyelet relative to the mandrel thereby ensuring a consistent deployed shape. The present invention also incorporates a self-articulating catheter tip which can be bent to a variety of angles to enhance the ease of delivery. The tip is articulated by varying the position of the closure device within the articulated portion of the catheter.
