Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100128944CYTOLOGICAL IMAGING SYSTEMS AND METHODS - The present invention relates to the analysis of specimens. Specifically, the invention relates to methods and apparatus for reviewing specimen slides, including apparatus for holding the slides. The invention also relates to an automatic focusing method for an imaging system and methods for accommodating vibration in the imaging system. In particular, the methods and apparatus may be applied to the automated analysis of cytological specimen slides.05-27-2010

20090043263RETRACTABLE HYPODERMIC SYRINGE - A hypodermic syringe includes a barrel with a plunger slidably extending therein. The barrel may include a barrel adapter at one end to define a luer hub socket and the outer walls of slots in the barrel. The plunger includes an outer plunger element and an inner plunger element telescoping together with a bungee resisting extension of the assembly. The inner and outer plunger elements may be locked in the extended position with the bungee in tension. A seal stop is located at the seal end of the plunger to define an annular pinch therewith to hold an annular seal in radial extension sealing against the internal sidewall of the barrel. A luer hub is fixed at the needle end of the barrel, A plunger cap may be advanced after injection to rotate the plunger. A resistance lock retains the cap and plunger indexed until actuation. The rotation actuates latches and locking fingers on the luer hub to engage a probe axially and rotationally on the seal end of the plunger and disengage the slots in the barrel, respectively. The rotation disengages the seal stop to release the annular seal and finally releases the engagement between the outer plunger element and inner plunger element. The foregoing provides for the retraction of the luer hub and associated needle into the barrel.02-12-2009

20090232396Method for correcting chromatic aberration - The invention relates to a method for correcting chromatic aberration in an image capture device like a camera. It comprises the steps of determining, in the image, an analyzing area around the current pixel, comparing, for the current pixel, a first color component data of a first block of pixels comprising the current pixel to a second color component data of pixels of second blocks of pixels having the same size as the first block within the analyzing area, selecting the second block of pixels having the highest correlation with the first block of pixels, determining the shift vector to be applied to the selected second block in order that said selected second block coincides spatially with said first block of pixels, and shifting the second color component data of the pixel of the selected second block corresponding to the current pixel in accordance with the shift vector so as to correct chromatic aberration.09-17-2009
