IPC: A61B17/04
Filed: 2015-06-02
Abstract: A stitching assembly including upper and lower cradles, upper and lower needles, and first and second sutures supported by the upper and lower needles respectively. The cradles moves along a curved path in relation to the carriages between advanced and retracted positions. When each cradle is moved from the retracted position towards the advanced position a stitch loop is formed when the respective needle is retracted. This process is repeated alternating between the first and second cradles with the upper and lower needles passing through the previous stitch loop formed by the other needle before passing through the tissue.

Abstract: The present application concerns the visual identification of materials or documents for tracking purpose. 
     The invention proposes a method to automatically identify an object by the following steps : 
- digitally acquiring a two-dimensional image through sampling on a uniformly spaced orthogonal grid of at least one color component of an area of interest of its surface illuminated by a non-coherent light which location, resolution, imaging angle and lighting angle are optimized for a given image matching metric, 
- comparing the acquired image to stored digital images of the same area, such comparison including the steps of : 
o preprocessing the image, 
o flattening the image, 
o applying a rotation compensation procedure, 
o applying a translation compensation procedure, 
o masking the areas of interest 
o computing a metric according to a deterministic convergence behavior when the mean square error between the acquired and recorded image tends towards a constant, such metric being dependent on the acquired and stored image resolutions and enabling the identification from the recorded images of a matching set of images for a given object image, the metric and threshold having the property that the cardinality of said matching set converges towards singleton when the resolution increases.
