Title: Mise au point automatique rapide pour l'imagerie microscopique
Inventor: ZAHNISER MICHAEL
IPC: G02B21/24
Filed: 2011-02-01
Abstract: L'invention porte sur des procédés et sur des systèmes pour focaliser automatiquement de multiples images d'un ou de plusieurs objets sur un substrat. Les procédés comprennent l'obtention, par un processeur, d'une distance focale représentative pour un premier emplacement sur le substrat, sur la base d'un ensemble de distances focales à des emplacements connus sur le substrat. Les procédés consistent également en l'acquisition, par un dispositif d'acquisition d'image, d'un ensemble d'au moins deux images du premier emplacement. Les images sont chacune acquises à l'aide d'une distance focale différente à décalage par rapport à la distance focale représentative. Les procédés en outre en l'estimation, par un processeur, d'une distance focale idéale correspondant au premier emplacement, sur la base de la comparaison d'une qualité de focalisation pour chacune des images, et le stockage de la distance focale idéale estimée et du premier emplacement dans l'ensemble de distances focales à des emplacements connus.

IPC: H04N21/266
Filed: 2005-12-07
Abstract: A technique is provided for securely transferring programming content from a first device in a first layer, e.g., a trusted domain, to a second device in a second layer, e.g., outside the trusted domain. When a user requests that the first device transfer protected content to the second device, the first device needs to authenticate the second device. After the second device is authenticated, the first device may transfer to the second device the protected content, together with a rights file associated therewith. The rights file specifies the rights of the second device to use the protected content, according to its security level indicative of its security. These rights may concern, e.g., the number of times that the second device may subsequently transfer the protected content to other devices, the time period within which the second device may play the protected content, etc. The higher the security level of the second device is, the more rights accorded thereto. Indeed, the second device may need to meet a minimum security level requirement in order for it to receive or keep the protected content.

Title: System and method for managing reduced pressure delivered to a tissue site
Inventor: LOCKE CHRISTOPHER BRIAN
IPC: A61M1/00
Filed: 2012-04-19
Abstract: The illustrative embodiments described herein are directed to an apparatus and method for managing reduced pressure at a tissue site. The apparatus comprises a pump for supplying reduced pressure for application of reduced pressure to the tissue site and a motor coupled to the pump to propel the pump. The apparatus further comprises a drive system electrically coupled to the motor that includes a power source that provides a source of direct current power to the motor during an operational period at a substantially constant current and of sufficient magnitude to supply a targeted reduced pressure during the operational period. The drive system also includes a controller that monitors the pump's loading on the motor by measuring the voltage across the motor to determine whether the motor voltage remains within a predetermined operational range of voltages necessary for maintaining the reduced pressure supplied by the pump proximate to the targeted reduced pressure without directly measuring the reduced pressure using a pressure sensor.

Abstract: This patent discloses a method for providing an augmented image in a see- through head mounted display. The method includes capturing an image of a scene containing objects and displaying the image to a viewer. The method also includes capturing one or more additional image(s) of the scene in which the viewer indicates a misalignment between the displayed image and a see-through view of the scene. The captured images are then compared to determine an image adjustment to align corresponding objects in displayed images to the objects in the see-through view of the scene. This method provides augmented image information that is displayed in correspondence to the image adjustments so the viewer sees an augmented image comprised of the augmented image information overlaid and aligned to the see- through view.

Abstract: A fuel cell system is provided with: a refrigerant-circulation channel for circulating refrigerant that cools a fuel cell; a pump for circulating the refrigerant; a heat-dissipation unit for emitting the heat of the refrigerant and cooling the refrigerant; a bypass channel connected to the refrigerant-circulation channel so as to circumvent the heat-dissipation unit; and an on-off valve provided on a junction part in which there merge a low-temperature refrigerant that has passed through the heat-dissipation unit and a high-temperature refrigerant that has passed through the bypass channel without passing through the heat-dissipation unit. When the temperature of the high-temperature refrigerant reaches or exceeds a predetermined valve-opening temperature, the on-off valve opens and the low-temperature refrigerant merges with the high-temperature refrigerant before being supplied to the fuel cell. The basic pump discharge flow volume is calculated in accordance with the state of the fuel cell; and, when the temperature of the low-temperature refrigerant is lower than a predetermined temperature, the pump discharge flow volume is increased to an amount greater than the basic discharge flow volume.
