Abstract: A method for determining a state of a cell, the cell being placed in a sample in contact with a culture medium, includes illuminating the sample with a light source and acquiring an image of the sample with an image sensor, the image sensor lying in a detection plane. From the acquired image, a position of the cell in a plane parallel to the detection plane is located and a refractive index or a relative refractive index of the cell is estimated, the relative refractive index corresponding to a refractive index of the cell relative to the refractive index of the culture medium. From the estimation, an index of interest of the cell is determined. From the index, a state of the cell among predetermined states is classified, the predetermined states including at least one apoptosis state and one living state.

Abstract: A posturized comfort layer for a bedding or seating product has different sections of different firmness due to different mini coil springs within the sections. The springs may be individually pocketed between two sheets of non-woven polypropylene fabric joined with circular seams or rectangular seams. Each circular seam joins opposed pieces of fabric around one of the mini coil springs with curved segments. Alternatively, rectangular seams join opposed pieces of fabric around each of the mini coil springs with linear segments. Regardless of the shape of the seams, the different firmness of the different sections of the comfort layer may be due to the mini-coil springs contained in the pockets.
