  • Publication number: 20250146953
    Abstract: A system for connectorizing optical fibers receives an image of an optical fiber and segments the image along an image dimension corresponding to a length of the optical fiber to generate a plurality of image lines. Each image line includes a plurality of foreground pixels associated with the optical fiber and a plurality of background pixels associated with a background of the image. For each image line, the system defines a background intensity based on one or more background pixels and a foreground intensity based on one or more foreground pixels. The system compares the foreground intensity to the background intensity to identify any defects and logs each defect identified. If the number of defects logged is below a predetermined defect threshold, the optical fiber is ready to receive a connector. Otherwise, the optical fiber is not ready to receive the connector.

  • Publication number: 20250147004
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods, materials and devices for approximation of blood volume in a fluid. A blood indicator panel (BIP) device is provided for rapid blood volume measurement (in mls.) in a fluid (e.g., a collected surgical fluid). An RBC flocculant (e.g., polyDADMAC) may be used to induce more rapid sedimentation of red blood cells from the fluid. A series of markings is provided on one side of the BIP, each marking corresponding to a volume of blood (in milliliters). The markings are calculated by use of a formula: Vb=Vm/(Hct×1.2), wherein Hct is an average blood hematocrit, and 1.2 is an RBC packing ratio value for a conventional 1,200 ml waste collection canister (1.2 alternatively referenced as “?”). The BIP does not employ centrifugation, electronic image transmission or analysis, is temperature independent, and is accurate to about +/?10%.
