Title: Method and apparatus for detecting the presence of dermal melanin in epithelial tissue
Inventor: COTTON SYMON D OYLY
IPC: A61B6/00
Filed: 2006-12-22
Abstract: An image of an individual (2) is obtained using a digital camera (1). The image data is then processed by ratio determination module (10) and an image conversion module (12) to analyse the image and determine data representative of the distribution of blood and melanin in the skin of the imaged individual. This chromophore distribution data is then processed by an image generation module (18) which generates an image representative of the expected appearance of epithelial tissue having the determined distribution of chromophores where the epithelial tissue is under fixed illumination and has a flat spatial geometry and where all the identified melanin is present solely in the epidermis. The presence of dermal melanin can then be identified by comparing the original image data and the image derived from processing the calculated chromophore distributions and identifying where the ratio of these images differs by more than a threshold, the threshold being set at a level above the amount of variation expected due to lighting and geometry differences.

Title: Queued error reconciliation
Inventor: BOSTON MICHAEL G
IPC: B07C3/00
Filed: 2007-01-04
Abstract: The present subject matter relates to a method and system for increasing the throughput of mail processing machines by limiting the number of document processing system stops while effectively allowing errors to be reconciled during the continued operation of the system. More particularly, the present approach involves logging detected errors during an ongoing document processing run. The detected errors are analyzed for priority, and the operator is alerted to take corrective action during run time for specified errors. The reported errors may be reconciled prior to the completion of the document processing run.

Patent CA-2591677-A1 (CA)
Inventor: COUCHMAN PETER
IPC: F16L55/28
Filed: 2005-12-05
Abstract: In an in-line pipe inspection tool, sensors for inspecting the pipe are mounted on sensor blocks moveable relative to the body of the tool. However, when the sensor blocks move radially to conform to different pipe diameters, the circumferential distances between the sensors changes. To ameliorate the effect of this, the sensor blocks have a shape such that one axial edge of each sensor block circumferentially overlaps the opposite edge of an adjacent sensor block. With such an arrangement, when the sensor block are operating at minimum diameter, part of one sensor block will overlap an adjacent block, in the circumferential direction. As the diameter of the pipeline in which the pig is used increases, the degree of overlap will reduce, and may even reduce to zero, but there will still be no overall axial gaps between the sensor blocks. Thus, by suitable shaping of the sensor blocks the tool can be used with a wide range of pipe diameters.
