摘要： Apparatus and methods provide multiple object identification and tracking using an object recognition system, such as a camera system. One method of tracking multiple objects includes constructing a first set of objects in real time as a camera scans an image of a first frame row by row. A second set of objects is constructed concurrently in real time as the camera scans an image of a second frame row by row. The first and second sets of objects are stored separately in memory and the sets of objects are compared. Based on the comparison between the first frame (previous frame) and the second frame (current frame), a unique ID is assigned to an object in the second frame (current frame).

摘要： A process for producing an absorbing polymer structure (Pa) including the steps of obtaining a treated absorbing polymer structure (Pb) by increasing the absorption under load at a load of 0.3 or 0.9 psi (AUL) compared to an untreated absorbing polymer structure (Pu) by a first treatment of an outer region of the untreated absorbing polymer structure (Pu) and reducing the AUL compared to the treated polymer structure (Pb) by a second treatment of an outer region of the treated absorbing polymer structure (Pb). Such absorbing polymer structure (Pa) may be used in a composite and may be used in foams, moulded articles, fibers, sheets, films, cables, sealing materials, liquid-absorbing hygiene articles, carriers for plant growth-regulating and fungal growth-regulating agents, packaging materials and soil additives or building materials.

摘要： A method for percutaneously removing ligamentum flavum tissue in a spine to treat spinal stenosis may involve percutaneously advancing a distal portion of a tissue removal cannula into the ligamentum flavum tissue, uncovering a side-opening aperture disposed on the distal portion of the cannula to expose a tissue cutter disposed in the cannula, and cutting ligamentum flavum tissue using the tissue cutter while the aperture is uncovered. A device for percutaneously removing ligamentum flavum tissue in a spine to treat spinal stenosis may include a cannula including a side-facing aperture, an aperture cover slidably coupled with the cannula and configured to advance and retract to cover and uncover the aperture, and a tissue cutter slidably disposed within the cannula and configured to extend through the aperture to cut ligamentum flavum tissue.

摘要： A flexible superabsorbent binder polymer composition including a monoethylenically unsaturated polymer, such as carboxylic acid, sulphonic acid, or phosphoric acid, or salts thereof, and an acrylate or methacrylate ester that contains an alkoxysilane functionality, or a monomer capable of co-polymerization with a compound containing a trialkoxysilane functional group and subsequent reaction with water to form a silanol group wherein the flexible superabsorbent binder polymer composition has a residual monoethylenically unsaturated monomer of less than about 1000 ppm. The flexible superabsorbent binder polymer composition is particularly suitable for use in manufacturing absorbent articles. A method of making the flexible superabsorbent binder polymer composition includes preparing a monomer solution, adding the monomer solution to an initiator system, and activating a polymerization initiator within the initiator system.

摘要： A child carrier and swimming aid allows a caregiver to carry a child in pressing relation to the caregiver's torso and allows the device to be used in the water. The adult dons a harness and places the child into a vest, which vest is a personal flotation device. The vest is attached to the harness in order to facilitate normal carrying of the child by the adult. In a body of water, the vest can be detached from the harness allowing the child to float free of the adult, with the vest being tethered to the harness for safety.

In one example, a system that provides multiple sites for pacing of myocardium of a heart includes wireless pacing electrodes that are implantable at sites proximate the myocardium using a percutaneous, transluminal, catheter delivery system. Each of the electrodes contains a source of electrical energy for pacing the myocardium and is adapted to receive electromagnetic energy from a source outside the myocardium. The system also includes a source adapted for placement outside the myocardium and that uses locally measured electrocardiograms to synchronize pacing of the heart by sending electromagnetic commands to the electrodes to pace the myocardium surrounding the electrodes. Also disclosed is various configurations of such systems, wireless electrode assemblies, and delivery catheters for delivering and implanting the electrode assemblies.
