| 20090022388 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ANALYZING CLUSTERS OF OBJECTS - The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for processing and metrically quantifying images of objects containing clusters of points/spots, such as biological specimens comprising cluster of cells, in particular of human or animal origin, or images thereof. In particular, the present invention relates to a method for processing images of irregularly shaped objects in the form of at least one cluster of punctiform or spot-shaped objects, comprising a stage of acquisition of a digital image of said objects, a stage of image elaboration (IMA-EL) for quantizing said digital image to 1 bit and a stage of metrical processing of said 1-bit quantized image, wherein said stage of metrical processing comprises a stage of object's metrical quantification (QUANT) that on its turn comprises: | 01-22-2009 |
| 20090232382 | "IN VITRO" DIAGNOSTIC METHOD FOR DISEASES AFFECTING HUMAN OR ANIMAL TISSUES - The present invention relates to an “in vitro” diagnostic method for diseases affecting human or animal tissues, in particular for the diagnosis of diseases involving inflammation and fibrosis in human or animals, more particularly for liver diseases. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method for diagnosing “in vitro” abnormal morphological conditions in human or animal tissues affected by a chronic inflammatory disease, which comprises observing an image of a biopsy sample of the human or animal body in which said abnormal condition can be detected and metrically quantifying said abnormal morphological condition, wherein said step of metrically quantifying comprises detecting the extent of the fibrotic and of the inflammatory tissue by means of: i) calculating the fractal corrected perimeter (Pf) and/or area (Af) of the collagen islets, and ii) calculating the percentage area of the clustered inflammatory cells by means of the formula ACINF/AB·100, wherein ACiNF is the actual area of the inflammatory cells belonging to clusters and AB is the area of the biopsy sample. | 09-17-2009 |

| 20110092817 | METHOD AND SYSTEM OF ULTRASOUND SCATTERER CHARACTERIZATION - A method for characterizing ultrasound scatterers in a medium comprising providing ultrasound data representing a region of interest comprising a plurality of scatterers in a medium, the plurality of scatterers including clusters of scatterer sub-units, the scatterers having a physical property value to be estimated and the scatterer sub-units having at least one known physical parameter value; modelling the ultrasound data using an at least second order function of a spatial organization parameter defining the spatial organization of the scatterers; and estimating the physical property value of the scatterers from the modelled ultrasound data and the at least one known physical parameter of the sub-units by a regression of the spatial organization parameter as a function of frequency. A system for characterizing ultrasound scatterers is also included. | 04-21-2011 |

| 20100077814 | SECURITY LOCK - The lock comprises: a fixed bush which defines a cylindrical cavity within which a cylinder rotating about the longitudinal axis of the cavity is mounted; a spring for retaining the cylinder within the cavity in the axial direction, the spring being interposed between a first circumferential groove made in the external lateral surface of the proximal portion of the cylinder and a facing slot made in the wall of the cavity; and interference means suitable for preventing the rotation of the cylinder within the cavity when the cylinder is pushed towards the distal extremity of the bush. A plurality of circumferentially spaced reliefs, extending each for an arc of a circle, radially protrude from a circumferential section of the external surface of the proximal portion of the cylinder, which reliefs bear in normal conditions against a circumferential flange which radially protrudes inwards from the internal surface of the bush. Moreover, a second circumferential groove flanking the first groove, from which it is separated by a circumferential wall, is made in the external lateral surface of the proximal portion of the cylinder. | 04-01-2010 |

| 20100071793 | APPARATUS FOR STABILIZATION AND DECELERATION OF SUPERSONIC FLOW INCORPORATING A DIVERGING NOZZLE AND PERFORATED PLATE - An apparatus is disclosed for reducing pressure and velocity of a particulate-laden, supersonic vent gas stream from a pressure vessel such as an autoclave. The apparatus includes a diverging duct in which the vent gas expands, and a perforated plate located inside the diverging duct. The perforated plate provides an area reduction that increases back pressure and forces an upstream normal shock in the diverging duct, thereby bringing about a desired reduction in pressure and velocity. The perforated plate is comprised of a material, such as a ceramic, that is resistant to erosion by the abrasive particulate entrained in the high velocity vent gas. The perforated plate has a central portion provided with holes and an imperforate peripheral portion which is resiliently received between connection flanges of the duct. | 03-25-2010 |
