Abstract: A method of removing noise from a digital image including
receiving an original digital image including a plurality of pixels; generating at
least one residual digital image and at least one base digital image from the
original digital image, the base digital image having a lower spatial resolution than
the original digital image; and generating a noise reduced base digital image by
removing noise from the base digital image with a noise reduction filter so that
when the noise reduced base digital image is combined with the residual digital
image to produce a reconstructed digital image, noise is not present in the
reconstructed digital image.

Abstract: A technique is provided for segmenting a pixellated image (7) into foreground and
background regions. The background and foreground regions of a preceding image
are analysed (3) so as to provide noise and signal histograms. A first threshold is
derived (24) as the lowest level such that a predetermined proportion of the
background pixels have lower noise levels. A second threshold is derived (25) as the
highest level such that a predetermined proportion of the foreground pixels have
higher signal levels. A difference image is formed (5) as a difference between each
pixel of the image (7) and the corresponding pixel of a non-occluded background
image (1b). Each of the difference image pixels is allocated (11) as a background
pixel if the value of the difference image pixel is less than the first threshold and the
pixel is surrounded by a majority of neighbouring difference image pixels which are
allocated to the background region. Each of the remaining pixels is then allocated
(12) to the foreground region if its value is greater than the second threshold and it has
a majority of neighbouring pixels which are allocated to the foreground region. The
remaining pixels are then allocated (13) as candidate foreground or background pixels
by comparison with a third threshold (26) which lies between the first and second
thresholds. Each candidate pixel is then allocated as a background pixel if a majority
of its neighbouring pixels are already allocated to the background region or are
candidate background pixels. Otherwise, the pixel is allocated to the foreground

Abstract: A system which coordinates proton beam irradiation with
an open magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) unit to achieve
near-simultaneous, noninvasive localization and radiotherapy
of various cell lines in various anatomic locations. A
reference image of the target aids in determining a
treatment plan and repositioning the patient within the MRI
unit for later treatments. The patient is located within
the MRI unit so that the target and the proton beam are
coincident. MRI monitors the location of the target. 
Target irradiation occurs when the target and the proton
beam are coincident as indicated by the MRI monitoring. The
patient rotates relative to the radiation source. The
target again undergoes monitoring and selective irradiation.
The rotation and selective irradiation during MRI monitoring
repeats according to the treatment plan.

Abstract: A method to provide Primary Frequency Regulation to a steam turbine in a
combined cycle plant that comprises storing energy in the form of internal energy
of the steam contained within the piping and domes of the heat recovery boilers,
and then using said energy when the power grid requires a sudden increase in
output power. With the present method, the losses in power generation of the
steam turbine, when said turbine is operating in the Primary Frequency
Regulation mode, are reduced to a minimum. When the gas turbines in a
combined cycle plant operate in PFR mode, the steam turbine reduces its output
power because the gas turbines must operate below their rated power. The
present method converts said decrease in output power of the steam turbine in a
Spinning Reserve useful for PFR in said turbine. That is to say that the present
method converts said Spinning Reserve in a rapid reserve, available after just a
few seconds; if necessary, response times of less than 10 seconds can be
attained. The present method introduces several novel steps, which constitute its
essence, said steps permitting the continuous, long term operation of the steam
turbine in a combined cycle plant in PFR mode, thereby ensuring at any time the
effectiveness of mains frequency regulation and also guaranteeing the stability of
the power generation process in said combined cycle plant.

Title: Verification system and method for packet call processing operation of mobile telecommunication system
Inventor: PARK AE-SOON
IPC: H04L12/28
Filed: 2001-12-10
Abstract: Disclosed is a verification system and method for the packet call
processing operation of a mobile telephone. An Internet protocol address is
individually assigned to a terminal, a packet service simulator, and the mobile
telephone. The packet service simulator simulates a control signal of UTRAN or
the like that is necessary for the mobile telephone and connects data traffic to
an actual Internet after establishment of a packet call, thereby verifying the data
traffic of the mobile telephone. The packet service simulator sends an Internet
protocol packet generated from the terminal to its Ethernet address, receives a
packet destined for the terminal and sends it to the mobile telephone. For this
operation, the packet service simulator responds to the address resolution
protocol (ARP) request of the terminal. The terminal is linked to the mobile
telephone via a point-to-point protocol, and the mobile telephone and the
packet service simulator are linked to an external Internet via an Ethernet
instead of an air interface. The verification system and method enables
development and verification of operations of the terminal and the mobile
telephone related to the packet call in the situation in which all systems
including UTRAN or the like are not embodied.

Title: Personal and environmental air sampling apparatus
Inventor: VAN NETTEN CHRISTIAAN
IPC: G01N1/22
Filed: 2001-10-05
Abstract: A self sealing air sampling apparatus includes a body with a filter therein and an air moving device, such as a fan, mounted therein for moving air through the filter. There is an air inlet communicating with the filter. There is also a air outlet communicating with the filter. A manually operable control simultaneously opens the air inlet and the air outlet and operates the air moving device for moving air from the air inlet, through the filter and out through the air outlet. For example, the body may be cylindrical and have a cylindrical shell rotatably mounted thereon. The shell and the body have air inlet openings and air outlet openings which are aligned when the shell is rotated in one direction and become unaligned when the shell is rotated in an opposite direction thus sealing off the filter compartment from the outside environment. Rotation of the shell also closes a switch to operate the fan when the shell is rotated in the one direction.
