20140347628 | MULTI-VIEW FUNDUS CAMERA - The invention relates to a fundus camera that incorporates an integral imaging system for capturing an integral photograph of the fundus. This integral photograph enables projecting a three-dimensional image and generating topographical maps of the fundus. The fundus camera can function plenoptically and thus zoom onto a two-dimensional image generated from the integral photograph. The proposed equipment consists of an optical system for illuminating the fundus and an optical system forming the integral image capture system. This capture system includes an ophthalmoscopic lens, a microlens array and a sensor, and it allows recording, in a single shot, multiple views of the fundus. To improve the resolution of the integral photograph, the capture system has a device that allows displacing the microlens array by a few microns. | 11-27-2014 |
20130224352 | FRUIT MARKING PROCEDURE - A method of marking fruits includes an incision in a fruit piece surface with a laser beam and the deposition in the superficial incision of a contrast agent comprising salts or oxides of iron or copper at a concentration between 0.001% and 1% of the total weight. The salts or oxides are capable of reacting with any of the phenolic and/or polyphenolic compounds present in the superficial tissues of the fruit. This contrast agent may also include other additives: acidity regulators, emulsifiers, antioxidants and complexing. | 08-29-2013 |
20130183527 | PROCESS FOR OBTAINING NANOCRYSTALLINE CORUNDUM FROM NATURAL OR SYNTHETIC ALUMS - The present invention relates to a process for obtaining nanocrystalline corundum, characterised in that it comprises a first step of thermal treatment of the raw material used in the process at standard pressure, to a temperature greater than that of the last endothermic accident of the differential thermal analysis record of the raw material, performed to 925° C.; and a second step of fast cooling from the maximum temperature reached in the preceding step to room temperature. Moreover, the present invention relates to the nanocrystalline corundum obtainable from the process described, as well as to multiple uses of said corundum. Furthermore, this material may be disaggregated, for example by means of high-energy grinding, to produce a fine aggregate that may be used as an abrasive or as a functional load in plastic polymers or other types of materials. | 07-18-2013 |
20130144137 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR NON-INVASIVELY MONITORING BIOLOGICAL OR BIOCHEMICAL PARAMETERS OF INDIVIDUAL - A system and method are presented for use in monitoring one or more conditions of a subject's body. The system includes a control unit which includes an input port for receiving image data, a memory utility, and a processor utility. The image data is indicative of data measured by a pixel detector array and is in the form of a sequence of speckle patterns generated by a portion of the subject's body in response to illumination thereof by coherent light according to a certain sampling time pattern. The memory utility stores one or more predetermined models, the model comprising data indicative of a relation between one or more measurable parameters and one or more conditions of the subject's body. The processor utility is configured and operable for processing the image data to determine one or more corresponding body conditions; and generating output data indicative of the corresponding body conditions. | 06-06-2013 |
20130143825 | COMPOUNDS FOR USE IN THE TREATMENT OF DISEASES BASED ON THE EXPRESSION OF TOXIC TRANSCRIPTS - Compounds to be used in the treatment of diseases based on the expression of toxic transcripts. The present invention relates to peptide molecules, specifically hexapeptides, designed for the prevention and/or treatment of diseases the etiology whereof is based on the presence of toxic transcripts that comprise CUG, CCUG, CGG, CAG and AAG repeats, preferably: DM1 SCA8, DM2, FXTAS, HD and FA. | 06-06-2013 |
20120178730 | SOD-IMITATING METAL COMPLEXES - The present invention comprises a process to synthesise metal complexes from macrocyclic polyazapyridinophane compounds characterised as superoxide dismutase enzyme (SOD) mimetics. Furthermore, the present invention relates to the macrocyclic polyazapyridinophane compounds themselves, the metal complexes formed from these and to their use in the treatment of diseases the aetiology of which is based on disturbances in the activity of, or a deficiency in endogenous SOD, mainly as anti-inflammatories, analgesics and antioxidant compounds providing protection against cellular oxidative stress. | 07-12-2012 |
20110124723 | Compounds for Preventing and Treating Plasmodium Infections - The present invention relates to the use of at least one compound of formula (I) for the manufacture of a medicament intended for preventing or treating infections by a | 05-26-2011 |
20100044682 | CHARGE INJECTION LAYER FOR ELECTRO-OPTICAL DEVICES - The present invention relates to charge injection from metallic conductors to semiconductor or insulation materials based on organic or inorganic molecules and macromolecules with electrical or optical properties, and specifically to a new charge injection layer for electro-optical devices comprising a polymer with conjugated units and a salt mixed with the aforementioned polymer, characterized in that the oxidation state of the polymer is not modified when it is mixed with the salt. Despite the fact that there is no change in the oxidation state of the polymer, the polymer and salt mixture according to the invention makes it possible for a high enough number of charges to reach the optically active layer, such that the efficiency in the charge injection process is increased up to levels exceeding even those provided by the standard PEDOT. | 02-25-2010 |
20090291328 | NEW PROCESS FOR THE APPLICATION OF SPIN TRANSITION MOLECULAR MATERIALS IN THIN LAYERS - This application relates to a new process for the application of thin layers of substantially pure spin transition molecular materials while maintaining the hysteresis properties of the material. The process makes it possible to obtain a dense uniform surface with very low roughness. | 11-26-2009 |
