Abstract: Apparatus for measuring the operating parameters of espresso coffee machines, including: a filter-holder body configured to be associated with a water dispensing nozzle of an espresso coffee machine; said body internally defining a chamber for the passage of the water dispensed by said nozzle; a filling element arranged in said chamber and having a cavity for the passage of the water dispensed by the nozzle towards an outlet duct; a water outlet terminal element associated with said filter-holder body downstream of said chamber and defining said water outlet duct; and reading means for the water pressure and temperature values passing from the chamber to the outlet duct; said reading means include at least one pressure reading device operatively engaged with said water outlet terminal element and at least one temperature reading device operatively engaged at said cavity obtained in the filling element.

Abstract: A computer-implemented denoising method for removing artefacts from a doppler-type ultrasound video includes: acquiring a plurality (n) of frames composing an ultrasound video; identifying pixels containing doppler activation; generating for each frame, a first set of image data to associate to each pixel position of the corresponding frame at least a first or a second category to categorize the pixels of the corresponding frame and identifying for each frame the pixels containing doppler activation; generating at least a persistence sequence associated to a frame portion containing identification data ordered according to the frame sequence such that adjacent identification data in the sequence refers to consecutive frames; in the persistence sequence, calculating the length of each persistence sub-sequence comprising consecutive identification data having the first value; automatically calculating a reference threshold; eliminating the doppler pixels if the latter belong to a persistence sequence below the

Abstract: A computer based method for classifying a mass of an organ such as a cyst is provided. The computer based method provides a class indicating a presence of a serum and a solid in the cyst and a subclass indicating a presence of one or more serous loculi or one or more solid. loculi in the cyst. The computer based method is advantageous applications for a diagnosis of ovarian cysts.

Abstract: A lighting device equipped with means for receiving and delivering multimedia content is described. Such a device can be mounted on any type of pre-existing standard lamp-holder so as to transform it into a sophisticated system for providing adjustable lighting and for delivering multimedia content that can be updated as desired by the user, thus being able to be integrated in a simple and cost-effective way into the room furniture without requiring the addition of other elements or the replacement of any pre-existing lighting system.
