To spectrally detect a contaminant in a moving container, a set of reference spectral information related to one or more containers having known contents is stored. Thereafter, radiant energy is directed at liquid near the bottom of the container so that the radiant energy is modified by the contents of the container and travels through the contents of the container in multiple paths of varying le...

In an inverse transport processor of the type which directs video payloads of a packet signal to buffer memory space, apparatus is included for writing a media error codes at sequential first memory address locations in the memory ahead of each packet payload. Concurrently a processor examines the current packet to determine if it occurs in proper sequence. If a packet is lost, the payload is writ...

Surgical instruments (614) are marked with a symbol (120) encoding a unique numerical value associated with each instrument, this value being used as a pointer into an automated database forming part of a comprehensive inventory management system (600). The symbols on the instruments may be referenced for various purposes, including pre- and post-operative tracking, automatic flagging for routine ...

It is important, as the communications environment grows increasingly complex, that it is possible to convert chargeable events into billable values in a flexible manner. In particular, it is important that the pricing and charging arrangements available to network operators or service providers can take account of factors such as taxes which affect the billable value and which may be put in place...

A method and system for the automated detection of lesions in computed tomographic images, including generating image data from at least one selected portion of an object, for example, from CT images of the thorax. The image data are then analyzed in order to produce the boundary of the thorax. The image data within the thoracic boundary is then further analyzed to produce boundaries of the lung r...

A system and method for synchronized presentation of audio and video signals initially stored on a computer. A single composite file containing synchronized information characterizing the signals is generated. The data in the file is supplied as a stream to the input of a demultiplexer. Data characterizing each signal is output through one of a plurality of outputs of the demultiplexer, and suppli...
