  • Patent number: 11965770
    Abstract: The invention relates to a suspendable scale for weighing a bundle, comprising: a first part for suspending the scale from a structure; a second part for suspending an implement from the scale; a third part joining the first part and second part, the first part, second part, third part being at least partly radially nesting relative to one another; at least two strain gauges connected to the third part; a wireless transmitter for sending the measurement data to an operator; a self-powered power supply for feeding an electric current to the strain gauges and the wireless transmitter; a first space formed in the scale to integrate the wireless transmitter inside the scale; and a second space to integrate the power supply inside the scale. The invention also relates to an arrangement for hoisting a bundle.

  • Publication number: 20150117745
    Abstract: This invention relates to a method, a system and a service for analyzing biological liquids like blood and to assess the quality of such liquid. The analysis is made on a plurality of dried drops of the liquid as samples on a substrate, and involves scanning the substrate to create an image of the dried samples on the substrate. The image of the samples is processed in order to segment and qualify the samples into images of defined sample drops for further processing, whereafter they are grouped into at least one group of samples. The samples are analyzed to retrieve the total areas having at least one predetermined color and to retrieve the total areas for each predetermined color in the drops, whereby a ratio is calculated of the total area of the defined sample drops versus the total areas of the at least one predetermined color areas to achieve a quality indication of the liquid.

  • Publication number: 20040170333
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and device for coding successive images. The method comprises defining (600) a search area in a reference image; and computing (602) the cost function of each motion vector candidate. Then, the block to be coded is coded (614) by using the motion vector candidate giving the lowest cost function value. In the computation (602) of the cost function, number-theoretic transform is performed (604, 606) for the block to be coded and for the candidate block; multiplication is performed (608) between the block to be coded and the transformed candidate block; correlation between the block to be coded and the candidate block is formed (610) by performing inverse transform of number-theoretic transform for the result of the multiplication; and the correlation formed is used (612) in the computation of the cost function.
