The electronic device includes means (200; 500) for applying a plurality of trimming actions (TA(i)) to each parameter for causing a corresponding correction of the parameter, for at least one reference parameter (S(r); S(rl), S(r2)), means (120) for measuring the reference parameter responsive to the application of at least part of the trimming actions (TA(r); TA(r1), TA(r2)) to select one of the trimming actions providing a target value of the reference parameter, and means (M(r), D(r), TC(r); M(r1), D(r1), TC(r1), M(r2), D(r2), TC(r2)) for forcing the application of the selected trimming action for the reference parameter. For each non-reference parameter (S(o)) different from the at least one reference parameter, the electronic device includes means (CV(o); CV'(o)) for selecting one of the trimming actions (TA(o)) for the non-reference parameter corresponding to the selected trimming action (TA(r); TA(r1), TA(r2)) for the at least one reference parameter according to a predetermined mapping of each group of multiple corrections of the at least one reference parameter on a single correction of the non-reference parameter, and means (D(o), TC(o)) for forcing the application of the selected trimming action for each non-reference parameter.

The system includes means (405- 415;435c) for providing a plurality of echo signals indicative of a response of a body part to a plurality of ultrasound pulsed waves having different acoustic pressures, the body part including a tissue being perfused with a contrast agent, and means (420a-420c) for discriminating in the echo signals a contribution of a first type of contrast agent from a contribution of a second type of contrast agent and/or of the tissue, at least one harmonic component of the contribution of the first type of contrast agent having an acoustic power changing according to a first dependency law on the acoustic pressure and the at least one harmonic component of the contribution of the second type of contrast agent and/or of the tissue having an acoustic power changing according to at least one second dependency law on the acoustic pressure, wherein the means for discriminating includes means (425a,430a-425c,430c) for significantly reducing the at least one harmonic component of the contribution of the second type of contrast agent and/or of the tissue with respect to the at least one harmonic component of the contribution of the first type of contrast agent according to the corresponding dependency laws.
摘要:
A beam combiner includes a first beam-input face, a beam-output face, and first and second reflectors. The first beam-input face receives first and second beams of electromagnetic energy respectively having a first and second wavelengths. The first reflector reflects the first received beam toward the beam-output face, and the second reflector passes the first beam from the first reflector and reflects the received second beam toward the beam-output face. In one alternative, the first beam-input face also receives a third beam of electromagnetic energy having a third wavelength, the beam combiner includes a third reflector that reflects the received third beam toward the beam-output face, and the first and second reflectors pass the third beam from the third reflector. In another alternative, the beam combiner includes a second beam-input face that receives a third beam directed toward the beam-output face, and the first and second reflectors pass the third beam

An image-recognition method (500) for identifying items in a bookbinding machine is proposed. The method includes the steps of: acquiring (506) a digital representation of at least one sample image to be learned, the representation being composed of a plurality of elements grouped into blocks, calculating (508) at least one parameter for each block of the sample image, the at least one parameter being based on a portion of the representation corresponding to the block, determining (512-520) at least one threshold value for each block of the sample image according to a comparison between the at least one parameter of the block and the parameters of adjacent blocks, acquiring (530) the digital representation of a current image to be verified, calculating (556) the at least one parameter for each block of the current image, and verifying (558-566) a match of the current image with an expected sample image according to a criterion based on a comparison between the parameters of the current image and the parameters of the expected sample image depending on the corresponding threshold values.
