Abstract: The prior art of diagnosis of meningitis is based on the preparation of CSF and treated by Gram stain to show the shape of the bacteria by optical microscopy, then make a laboratory culture for the CSF to confirm the results as FIG. 2. An apparatus for the diagnosis of meningitis comprises; Power source; Standard sliding glass; Digital camera chip; Microprocessor chip; Software for image processing; Software to analyze image features; Programs for automated learning; Digital screen; The system of diagnosis meningitis uses image processing and automated learning. The methodology included five stages starting with the preparation of the CSF scan and dyeing it by the appropriate dye and digitizing it through a high-magnification scanning camera, then treated, segmenting and isolating the areas of interest by the image processing program, extracting the features and selecting the appropriate features for the classification, finally classification of meningitis.

Abstract: A method of immunizing a human against infection by parasitic worms, comprising orally administering a live attenuated recombinant bacterium, expressing at least one antigen corresponding to a parasitic worm antigen; and a sterile injectable vaccine comprising the at least one antigen corresponding to a parasitic worm antigen. The method is effective against worms, including schistosomes.

Abstract: A transmission line circuit includes a line driver having first and second outputs coupled through a differential transmission line to first and second inputs of a line receiver. A first bias is provided between the first and second inputs of the line receiver. The second bias is applied between the first and second outputs of the line driver. As a result, the first and second biases substantially offset, and preferably cancel, each other. If the differential transmission line is not coupled to a line driver, the second bias associated with that line driver is not applied permitting the first bias to provide a relatively high noise margin.
