Abstract: A method of treating a subject for reducing the risk of QT space prolongation associated with the intake of a drug known to prolong QT space includes administering to the subject at least one specific inhibitor of mitochondrial ROS production selected from among anethole trithione (ATT), 4-OH-anethole trithione (ATX), and an ATX ester, and administering to the subject the drug known to prolong QT space.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for locating the iris in an image of an eye, comprising steps of locating the pupil in the image, of detecting positions of intensity steps of pixels located on a line passing through the pupil and transition zones between the iris and the cornea, on either side of the pupil, and of determining the center and the radius of a circle passing through the detected positions of the transitions.

Abstract: A method and a system for evaluating the definition of the image of an eye iris or the like, including approximately localizing the pupil in the image, defining, from the approximate position of the pupil, an examination window centered on this position, and applying a gradient accumulation operation to the luminance values of the pixels of the examination window, the running total being proportional to the definition score of the image.

Abstract: A method and a circuit for marking with a binary code a video sequence compressed by motion calculation, from one picture to another, of macroblocks dividing each picture, the digital pictures being distributed in at least two categories according to whether they are coded integrally or by the motion vectors of the macroblocks with respect to the previous picture or to the previous and next pictures, which includes, at least for the pictures coded by motion vectors, only marking the macroblocks for which the motion vectors are greater than a predetermined threshold.

Abstract: A method and a system for inserting at least one binary code in a digital image, including converting the code into a modification of contours of objects in the image.

Abstract: A method of digital processing of an image of the iris of an eye or the like, including at least a first filtering step corresponding to a morphological closing by a first structuring element corresponding to a disk having a radius in number of pixels approximately corresponding to the thickness of an eyelash in the image, and a second filtering step corresponding to a morphological opening of the image resulting from the previous step by a second structuring element corresponding to a disk having a radius in number of pixels ranging between two and five times that of the disk of the first step.

Abstract: A method for generating a typical image including at least three values per pixel, based on a set of binary images all showing a same element, including: summing up the binary values of the pixels of same coordinates in the set of binary images; generating a first state in the typical image if the sum of the pixels of same coordinates of the binary images provides a value smaller than a first threshold; and generating a second state in the typical image if the sum of the pixels of same coordinates of the binary images provides a value greater than a second threshold.

Abstract: A method and a system determine a score characteristic of the definition of a digital imageby cumulating the quadratic norm of horizontal and vertical gradients of luminance values of pixels of the image, the pixels being chosen at least according to a first maximum luminance threshold of other pixels in the concerned direction.
