Appl. No.:

11/308488

Inventors:

Jingxi Zhang - Foster City CA, US
Yang Zhang - Foster City CA, US
Huifang Ni - Foster City CA, US

International Classification:

A01K 1/03

US Classification:

119421

Abstract:

A system for tracking the laboratory animal position and movement in a walled enclosure or cage for observation and evaluation is disclosed. The system consists of a plate placed on the bottom of the cage whereon multiple electrodes are configured as column-row two-dimensional electrode array, an electronic circuit detecting and measuring the capacitance between said electrodes, and a microprocessor determining the animal's location. The electronic circuit repeatedly measures the capacitance between the electrodes in a sequential manner. The animal's location and movement is determined by detecting the changes in capacitance on said plate.

Abstract:

In one embodiment, a first one of a plurality of message processors receives a request with respect to a topic, and determines whether the first message processor itself is currently responsible for the topic. If so, then the first message processor services the request. If not, then the first message processor determines whether any of the other ones of the message processors is currently responsible for the topic. If so, then the request is redirected to another message processor to be serviced. If not, then the first message processor selects one of the message processors to be responsible for the topic and to service the request.

International Classification:

G09G005/08

US Classification:

345/158000

Abstract:

A universal television and computer pointing control system is disclosed. The system is comprised of a handheld pointing device, a display control unit, and a command delivery unit. The system allows the user to simply point and click to control a computer or various home entertainment component devices remotely. Inside the handheld device, orientation sensors detect pointing direction. The pointing direction signals are transmitted to the display control unit, and a cursor (pointer) is drawn onto the screen indicating the pointer's location. By interpreting the pointing direction signals and the button activities, the display control unit issues a control signal to the command delivery unit. The command delivery unit then forwards the commands to the target device to execute the desired control function.

International Classification:

G06T 5/00

US Classification:

382166, 382167

Abstract:

The present invention relates to a system and method for reducing image artifacts for a CMOS camera used as an optical detector for a line confocal fluorescent imager. The method for reducing image artifacts in a monochromatic image comprises subtracting RGB channel offset mismatch; and correcting random row offset for each row. Preferably, the method also comprises correcting random column offset and gain. Optionally, the method also comprises clipping of defective pixels, and/or subtracting dark current. When the monochromatic image is a fluorescence image, the method also comprises a step of compressing CMOS camera noise. Also provided are a system for reducing image artifacts in a monochromatic image from a CMOS camera, as well as an image artifact reduction system for a CMOS camera-based line confocal fluorescent microscope.
