  • Apparatus for optical detection of bio-contaminants by comparing intensities of filtered light at two predetermined wavelengths
    Patent number: 10451552
    Abstract: A method for optical detection of residual soil on articles (such as medical instruments and equipment), after completion of a washing or a rinsing operation by a washer. A soil detection system provides an indication of soil on the articles by detecting luminescent radiation emanating from the soil in the presence of ambient light.

  • Method and apparatus for compensating for a parameter change in a synthetic aperture imaging system
    Patent number: 9176227
    Abstract: There is described a method for processing data generated by a synthetic aperture imaging system, comprising: receiving raw data representative of electromagnetic signals reflected by a target area to be imaged; receiving a parameter change for the synthetic aperture imaging system; digitally correcting the raw data in accordance with the parameter change, thereby compensating for the parameter change in order to obtain corrected data; and generating an image of the target area using the corrected data.
