Patent EP-0630039-A1 (EP)
Inventor: SUZUKI KENJI C O HAMAMATSU PHO
IPC: H01J35/08
Filed: 1994-06-03
Abstract: An X-ray generation tube capable of providing gas ionization to ambient atmosphere in a wide area by radiating X-rays in various directions. The X-ray generation tube includes a container body (10) formed of an X-ray transmissible material. The container body (10) has one open end. A target membrane (40) is formed at an inner surface of the container body (10) for receiving electrons and emitting X-rays. A base (20) plugs the open end of the container body (10) and has terminal pins (24) extending through it. A cathode (30) is supported by the terminal pins (24) and is disposed at a central portion of the container body (10) for generating electrons. If the container body (10) is cylindrical the cathode extends along the central axis of the cylinder. If the container body is spherical, the cathode is positioned adjacent the centre. In this way, since the target membrane (40) is provided at the inner surface of the container body (10), and since all the target membrane (40) is equidistant from the cathode (30), X-rays are radiated from the extended area of the outer surface of the container body (10) and uniform radiation over a wide area results.

Abstract: A reference picture element extraction circuit constitutes a detection circuit detecting whether an image is a character image or a dot image together with a primary scanning direction edge detection circuit and a secondary scanning direction edge detection circuit. In general, a character image has continuous edges in which a boundary with a large density difference continues for two or more picture elements in the primary and the secondary scanning directions, while the dot image is a dot drawing and characterized by a very small number of continuous edges in picture elements in the primary or secondary scanning direction. An image identification circuit uses this characteristic to identify a character image or a dot image by detecting whether or not there are continuous edges in a matrix extracted from picture signals, and selects binary conversion (e.g. thresholding for characters, dithering for dot images) suitable for the image.

Abstract: In a method of, and apparatus for, reading a barcode, a barcode symbol is optically scanned into a memory (13), and a plurality of scans across the stored image are made and processed to determine the barcode. The scans are made at interleaved positions across the barcode, and are stored in a storage device (87) and tested in a testing unit (88) for a consensus of at least 2 scans, further scans being made if necessary. Preferably, more than half the scans should be in matching agreement to determine that a consensus has been reached. Each scan may be averaged from several sub-scans. The scans may be decoded into symbols. Various validity tests may be made on the scans. The scans are analyzed by measuring the positions of the black-to-white and white-to-black transitions in them; the positions of the transitions may be interpolated between pixel positions.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of immunoassaying of an antigen or of a hapten. According to this method, the antigen or the hapten (3) to be assayed is placed in contact (Fig. 1A) with antibodies (2) fixed on a solid phase in order to immunologically bind the antigen or hapten to the antibody. A treatment is then carried out (Fig. 1B) for immobilising the antigen or the hapten (3) by covalent bonding (4) on the solid phase (1) while releasing its epitope (Fig. 1C) which is set in contact (Fig. 1D) with labelled antibodies (5) and the quantity of labelled antibodies fixed is determined (Fig. 1E), in order to deduce therefrom the initial antigen or hapten concentration. By virtue of this immobilisation and epitope release step, high sensitivity is obtained while using a single antibody. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method for the cleaning of roughened surface or porous-coated medical implants of all kinds. In the cleaning method, the roughened surface or porous-coated implant is subjected to blasting with particulate solids selected from the solids that are soluble in a biocompatible non-toxic solvent and solids that deliquesce, sublimate, or vaporize. The particulate solids must be sufficiently hard to provide effective impact for dislodging debris and loosely attached particles from implant surfaces. After blasting, the surface is optionally treated with ultrasonic vibration to further remove debris particulates. The impacted surfaces may also be rinsed with a biocompatible liquid. After cleaning, the surfaces may be passivated by immersion in conventional passivation solutions or a solution of non-aggressive oxyanions.
