Abstract: This invention concerns a device (1) for the determination of air content, the air separation behavior and the surface foam formation of oils, in particular of transmission oils with an air-oil mixer (2) and a differential pressures sensor (3). A conveyor system (4) transports the oil through pipe lines (5) of the air-oil mixer (2). A compressed air port (6) is provided, which transports air into the pipe lines (5), of the air-oil mixer (2). A Venturi pipe (9) is installed in one of the pipe lines (5), and the differential pressure sensor (3) records, through at least two separate drill tubes (7, 8) in the conveyor system of the oil at the Venturi pipe (9), differential pressures in the oil.

Abstract: An imaging apparatus. The imaging apparatus may find an area in which a specimen is present, then focus on the specimen and capture images of the specimen during continuous stage motion.

Abstract: Imaging apparatuses and methods that capture a low-resolution image of a slide, identify a region of interest, and capture a high-resolution image of the region of interest.

Abstract: A system for processing a thumbnail image from a microscope slide to determine tissue locations on the slide. The system comprises an image cropping component, a tissue finding component, and a scan control component. The image cropping component crops the thumbnail image and removes portions of the image that fall outside of determined slide boundaries. The cropped image from the image cropping component is inputted into the tissue finding component. The tissue finding component identifies tissue regions by applying a sequence of filters that incorporate knowledge of typical appearance and location of tissue and non-tissue slide regions. The tissue finding component outputs a tiling matrix whose values indicate which tiles should be imaged. The scan control component interprets the tiling matrix and transposes positions of the tiling matrix into actual stage coordinate for a microscopic imaging.
