An ultrafiltration device and method for the removal of excess fluid in hypervolemic patients and/or removal of toxins in the blood including for patients suffering from either renal or cardiovascular disease is disclosed. An embodiment of the device includes a housing containing multiple large bore hollow fiber membranes which are connected to the patient's vascular system via a connecting element comprising bifurcated fluid pathway elements to physiologically channel the blood flow either to or from each hollow fiber membrane of the device, a channel to direct the fluid removed by the device to a suitable collection container or the patient's bladder, and controls that control excessive removal of the water from the patient. Devices can be either worn extracorporeally or surgically implanted in order to allow for continuous fluid removal with ambulatory freedom.

A sealing case for a filtration cassette that reliably prevents leaks after assembly and installation into a filtration system. The sealing case fits on the filtration cassette and provides a fluid-tight seal between the sealing case and around at least one port in the filtration cassette when installed in a filtration system. The sealing case may comprise two halves that mate together, and each half may be identical. The internal surface of the sealing case is flat or substantially flat.

Described are a method and device for determining three-dimensional position information of a surface of a translucent object having a wavelength-dependent transmittance and reflectance characteristics. The method includes illuminating the surface of the translucent object with optical radiation at a predetermined wavelength emitted from a pair of optical sources. Radiation scattered from the surface and below the surface is detected, and a phase of the optical radiation from one of the optical sources relative to a phase of the optical radiation from the other optical source is changed before again detecting the scattered radiation. The predetermined wavelength is selected so that the optical radiation scattered from below the surface and detected provides a substantially constant background intensity with respect to the optical radiation scattered from the surface and detected. Three-dimensional position information of the surface is calculated in response to the detected radiation.

In execution of aligning operation in a paper discharge device (200), every time the number of discharged print sheets (P) reaches the number of aligning-start print sheets, a control unit (170) performs aligning operation while the unit intermittently drives paper feed rollers (112, 114) of an image forming apparatus (100), to prevent discharge of a print-completed print sheet to a paper discharge table (206) during aligning operation. Further, the control unit intermittently drives an elevation unit (207) such that the print sheet on the top of a paper discharge table is always lower than a paper discharge position of a pair of paper discharge rollers (205). In execution of high-speed and high-volume printing, it is possible to perform alignment of the print sheet discharged on the paper discharge table without reducing productivity.

A bookbinding system 1 shapes a booklet B in such a manner that a paper sheet bundle PS composed of plural text paper sheets P1 is bound by case binding using a cover paper sheet P2. In this case, a paper sheet having a size fitting within a region configured with a front surface PSF, a back surface PSB, and a spine PSa of the paper sheet bundle PS is used as the cover paper sheet P2. For example, vertically-long A4 paper sheets are used as the text paper sheets P1, and a horizontally-long A3 paper sheet is used as the cover paper sheet P2 to carry out case bookbinding. The cover paper sheet P2 does not protrude from the outer shape of the paper sheet bundle PS. Thus, it is not necessary to cut the cover paper sheet, and no cutting waste is generated.

A construction apparatus constituted of: a support structure comprising a support frame, a first inner support arm extending from the support frame and a first outer support arm extending from the support frame; a support extension member; a first enclosure member; and a second enclosure member, the second enclosure member positioned in parallel with the first enclosure member such that a space is defined therebetween, wherein the first outer support arm is juxtaposed with the outer face of the first enclosure member, wherein the first inner support arm is juxtaposed with the outer face of the second enclosure member, wherein the support extension member extends through the first enclosure member and the second enclosure member, and wherein the first end of the support extension member is secured to the first outer support arm and the second end of the support extension member is secured to the first inner support arm.
摘要:
In a speech recognition system, deep neural networks (DNNs) are employed in phoneme recognition. While DNNs typically provide better phoneme recognition performance than other techniques, such as Gaussian mixture models (GMM), adapting a DNN to a particular speaker is a real challenge. According to at least one example embodiment, speech data and corresponding speaker data are both applied as input to a DNN. In response, the DNN generates a prediction of a phoneme based on the input speech data and the corresponding speaker data. The speaker data may be generated from the corresponding speech data.
摘要:
An embossment formation area A is formed on one surface of envelope paper S. The embossment formation area A is left-right symmetric with respect to a centerline L including the centerline L parallel to a paper feed direction (transport direction), and is formed rearward over a predetermined length from a leading end in the paper feed direction. An embossment E has convexes that are equal in height to or higher than the thickness of transparent film Sc attached to a window Sa, that is, a thickness change portion S1. Even when many sheets of the envelope paper are stacked, the envelope paper can be fed without causing a double feed or a no-load feed.
