| 20080208173 | Insulin Pump Having Triple Functions Which Enables Efficient Control of Blood Glucose Concentration and Insulin Injection System Comprising the Same - The present invention relates to an insulin pump having triple functions for the efficient regulation of a blood glucose concentration and an insulin injection system comprising the same. The insulin pump comprises an insulin syringe into which an insulin is stored, a pump to pressurize the insulin syringe in response to a programmed control signal, a control device that generates the programmed control signal to control the pump, a mode selection button to determine an insulin injection mode, and an operating button to command an insulin injection. The insulin injection mode is comprised of a base mode that continuously infuses the insulin at a basic rate to control a blood glucose concentration at a fasting, a food mode that infuses the insulin at a bulk to control the blood glucose concentration after food intake, and an activation mode that infuses the insulin in pulses for a predetermined time period. Preferably, the insulin pump complementarity cooperates with a physiological saline syringe pump that infuses physiological saline solution immediately after the infusion of the insulin at the activation mode. | 08-28-2008 |
| 20090104689 | Microchip For Use In Cytometry, Velocimetry And Cell Sorting Using Polyelectrolytic Salt Bridges - The present invention relates to a microchip using polyelectrolyte salt bridge for cytometry, velocimetry, and cell sorting. The microchip comprises; a) an inlet for solution to be analyzed, b) a microchannel which provides a moving passage for solution to be analyzed, c) at least one outlet for solution to be analyzed which has passed through the moving passage, d) at least one electrode system comprising a first and a second salt bridges connected to the microchannel (the two salt bridges face each other), and a first and a second reservoirs connected to said each salt bridge (the reservoir comprises electrode and standard electrolyte solution). The microchip detects analytes in the solution to be analyzed (for example, a cell) by detecting change of impedance. In detail, anion in the standard electrolyte solution, which is comprised in the first reservoir, moves from the first salt bridge to the second salt bridge across the microchannel. Impedance change occurs by interference of anion moving across the microchannel and the change can be detected by impedance analyzer connected to electrodes in the first and the second reservoirs. | 04-23-2009 |

| 20100177210 | METHOD FOR ADJUSTING WHITE BALANCE - A white balance adjustment method is disclosed, in which a plurality of input pixels are transformed into a digital component color space, a hue region of each of the color-space transformed input pixels is determined, and a transformation matrix is determined according to the determined hue region. | 07-15-2010 |
| 20100214434 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR ADJUSTING WHITE BALANCE OF DIGITAL IMAGE - A method and an apparatus are provided for adjusting white balance of a digital image. An input image is converted into a YCbCr color space. White pixels of the converted input image are detected by determining whether each pixel of the converted input image is included in a preset region of the YCbCr color space. A gain of each channel is calculated from averages of R, G and B values of the detected white pixels. White balance adjustment is performed by applying the calculated gain of each channel to each pixel of the input image. | 08-26-2010 |
| 20100226579 | IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETECTING AN EDGE OF AN OBJECT WITHIN AN IMAGE - An image processing method and apparatus capable of easily detecting an edge of an object from an input image, in which the edge is detected using one step, without a pre-processing step, and a complicated trigonometric function is not used for gradient detection. The image processing method includes setting a window within an input image, analyzing the window to determine directions of edges of objects within the image included in the window, detecting edge information including the edge directions, and processing and outputting the window using the edge information. | 09-09-2010 |
| 20100238316 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CLASSIFYING IMAGES - An image classification apparatus and method for Automatic White Balance (AWB) are provided. An input image is divided into blocks including pluralities of pixels. A hue value and a chroma value are calculated for each of the blocks. A color-changed block is detected by calculating, for each one of the blocks, differences between the hue and chroma values calculated for all blocks adjacent to the one of the blocks and the hue and chroma values calculated for the one of the blocks. A hue variance and a chroma variance are calculated for the entire input image if a number of the detected color-changed blocks is greater than or equal to a first threshold. The input image is determined as a non-monochromatic image, if the hue variance is greater than or equal to a second threshold or the chroma variance is greater than or equal to a third threshold. | 09-23-2010 |
| 20110007969 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CORRECTING LENS SHADING - A lens shading correction method and apparatus are provided for removing vignetting occurring in digital images due to lens shading. A white image captured by an image pickup device and an image pickup unit is separated into reference white images corresponding to color channels. A vignetting center having a maximum light intensity is estimated in each of the reference white images. Multiple reference segments on each of the reference white images are defined. A lens shading correction value corresponding to each pixel constituting the reference segments are calculated using a corresponding light intensity. A lens shading correction function corresponding to each reference segment is derived using a corresponding lens shading correction value. Vignetting of a general image received in a general image processing mode is removed, using the derived multiple lens shading correction functions. | 01-13-2011 |
| 20110032396 | EDGE-ADAPTIVE INTERPOLATION AND NOISE FILTERING METHOD, COMPUTER-READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM, AND PORTABLE TERMINAL - An edge-adaptive interpolation and noise filtering method is provided including performing primary interpolation on a first color, based on a first preset number of directions, with respect to a first color window obtained from an input image window, estimating an edge direction within a primary interpolated first color window obtained by the primary interpolation, based on a second preset number of directions, the second preset number of directions being larger than the first preset number, with respect to the primary interpolated first color window, performing secondary interpolation on the first color, based on the estimated edge direction, with respect to the primary interpolated first color window, and performing interpolation on a second color, based on the estimated edge direction, with respect to a second color window obtained from the input image window. | 02-10-2011 |
