Abstract: A biological sample is evaluated by an automated apparatus that operates to identify one or more areas of interest within the sample. Each area of interest has a classifiable appearance brought about from the sample's interaction with an external influence under investigation. The apparatus classifies each area of interest by automatically resolving and identifying either the existence of an abnormal feature in that area of interest or a lack of any abnormality in that area of interest. An abnormal feature qualified as differentiable from a control reference unaffected by the external influence by at least one of: shape; area; size; and proximity to other resolved features within the area of interest. The apparatus counts incidences of abnormal features within each area of interest and automatically presents an assessment of the effect of the external influence on the sample based at least in part on the count of abnormal features.

Abstract: A perforating gun designed to orient a charge holding structure (e.g., tube, solid rod) within a barrel of the perforating gun to be at the same position relative to a wellbore casing regardless of a position of the barrel of the perforating gun. A charge assembly receivable within the barrel includes the charge holding structure and first and second end caps that are rotatably interconnected to the charge holding structure and non-rotatably interconnected to the barrel. As the charge holding structure is always or substantially always designed to maintain a common orientation in relation to the wellbore casing, explosive charges associated with the charge holding structure so as to fire towards particular location on the wellbore casing may always or substantially always perforate such particular locations upon or after the explosive charges have fired.

Abstract: Method for increasing the performance of a communications system on a medium formed by multiple conductors which increases the performance of a communications system by means of the creation of numerous communication channels with a high degree of isolation between each other on the same physical medium formed by multiple conductors. The method can be extended to be used in various applications, such as the reuse of frequencies on the same channel, the increase of the capacity of the point-to-point links in a network and the improvement of performance and reliability when used with digital processing of signals for transmission or reception, among others.

Abstract: The object of this invention relates to a procedure for treatment, both preventive and corrective, of dental cavities. Said procedure consists fundamentally in irradiation of the dental surface to be treated with a Neodymium YAG laser in conformity with specific parameters and conditions, signifying an advance in respect of the state of the art in this field. In the case of the treatment of cavities for corrective purposes it is also necessary, among other stages, to apply a dental cementing and restorative biomaterial on the surface of the dental enamel or on the dentin in such a manner that irradiation by the laser produces microfusion between both thereof. The present invention also relates to the biomaterial used in the procedure described herein, preferentially based on hydroxyapatite, together with the use of the procedure and of the biomaterial in the treatment of dental cavities.
