Filed: 2001-04-17
Abstract: A backlight system comprises at least two light-emitting panels (1; 11) having a front wall (2; 12), an opposing rear wall (3; 13) and opposite edge surfaces (4, 14; 5, 15). At least one of the edge surfaces (4; 14) is light-transmitting and associated with a plurality of light sources (6, 16). Light originating from the light sources (6; 16) is diffused in the panel (1; 11). Sub-surfaces (8, 18) of the rear walls (3, 13) are provided with means for extracting light from the panel (1, 11). In operation, said sub-surfaces (8, 18) project light on areas (9, 19) of an (imaginary) plane (40) which is positioned parallel to the light-emitting panels (1, 11). Said projected areas (9, 19) in the plane (40) are substantially contiguous. Preferably, said sub-surfaces (8, 18) are remote from the light-transmitting edge surfaces (4; 14). Preferably, each of said sub-surfaces (8, 18) forms a single surface covering half the front wall (2, 12) of the light-emitting panel (1, 11). Alternatively, the sub-surfaces encompass a substantial area of the rear walls, the distribution of the means for extracting light from the panel being such that the amount of extracted light changes as a function of the distance to the light-transmitting edge surfaces. Preferably, the light source comprises a plurality of red, green, blue (and amber) LEDs, each preferably having a luminous flux of at least 5 lumen.

Abstract: An apparatus for sorting products moving through a detection zone directs a light beam having a given cross sectional area towards a scanning zone through which the products move and are impinged upon by the light beam. A first detector is disposed to receive reflected light back from the products and has a first field of view larger than the light beam cross sectional area, the first detector being sensitive to substantially all of the direct and diffused reflected light from the products and generating a first signal corresponding thereto. A second detector also receives the reflected light and has a second field of view generally equal to the cross sectional area of the light beam. The second detector is sensitive to substantially only the direct reflected light from the products and generates a second signal corresponding thereto. Control circuitry causes a removal mechanism to remove impurities o products from the stream of products based on the signals from the first and second detectors individually or a difference between the signals.

Abstract: In the image reading apparatus, reference color
patches used to determine the necessity of calibration are
read, and the read image for the reference color patches
is stored. The read image is converted using a color
conversion function from data for a device-dependent RGB
space to sRGB data for a standard color space to obtain sRGB
reference image data. The converted read image and the sRGB
reference image are displayed on a CRT. An operator compares
the two images and performs an entry operation for executing
calibration if the amount of displacement between the two
is significant.

Abstract: Compounds and catheter systems for treating the heart and other body
tissues by injecting a compound comprised of microsphere encapsulated
macromolecule therapeutic agents into the myocardium, such that the microsphere
size inhibits capillary transport of the compound but may permit lymphatic transport
of the compound, and the compound releases therapeutic agents upon degradation
of the microsphere. The compounds may be used in a method of treating the
coronary arteries in which lymphatic transportable therapeutic agents are injected
into the myocardium at a location distal to a target site in the coronary artery, after
which they are taken up by the lymphatic vessels and transported proximally
relative to the coronary artery, and migrate from the lymphatic vessel to the
coronary blood vessel.
