Abstract: Among the proposals provided is a method for the analysis and classification of objects of interest, for example biological or biochemical objects, on the basis of time-lapse images, for example for use in time-lapse analysis in image-base cytometry. Images of the objects of interest, for example cells, are recorded at different moments in time and these images are subjected to a segmentation process to identify image elements as object representations or sub-object representations of objects or sub-objects of interest of objects of interest. Identified object representations or sub-object representations are then associated with one another in images of the time series and are identified as representations of the same object or sub-object or as the result of an object or sub-object. First features manifesting themselves in individual images are detected and second features manifesting themselves in a plurality of images recorded at different times are detected.

Abstract: In the Police Chase Eliminator (PCEL), a targeted vehicle being pursued through traffic may be apprehended by first identifying vehicles in the vicinity of the targeted vehicle, following the targeted vehicle until it is the only vehicle remaining of the originally identified vehicles, and then apprehending the targeted vehicle. This process may also be carried out by first identifying a select group of vehicles using vehicle descriptor limitations. The system for remotely controlling a targeted vehicle comprises a control unit which would normally be located in a police car and vehicle modules which are installed in motor vehicles. The control unit transmits activate commands to the vehicle modules which respond by either transmitting back a visual signal or an electronic signal. The control unit may also transmit control commands to the vehicle modules to control the operation of the vehicle.

Abstract: A trail shield for a lawn mower is disclosed having a snap on head section with the body extending symmetrically off the center line thereof.

Abstract: A mulching blade for a lawn mower including in combination a diagonal flange on the blade tip upwardly extending at a 20.degree., a neighboring cutout in the back of the blade, and a spaced downwardly extending flange section. These elements cooperate to recirculate the grass clippings in a circular manner through the region of the cutting edge so as to provide for a low inertia improved efficiency multi-purpose blade.
