Abstract: A method for image enhancement includes capturing multiple input images of a scene, including at least a first input image having a first field of view (FOV) captured with a first focal depth and a second input image having a second FOV captured with a second focal depth. The input images in the sequence are preprocessed so as to align the images. The aligned images are processed in a neural network, which generates an output image having an extended depth of field encompassing at least the first and second focal depths.

Abstract: An improved oral rehydration solution comprising a mixture of rice dextrin and required electrolytes is provided. The functionality of the rice dextrin in oral rehydration solutions is superior to glucose in infants with chronic diarrhea resulting in lower stool output and enhanced water retention. Rice dextrin also has a polymer profile which provides more readily available glucose than corn dextrin or rice fluor. There is also provided a process for clarifying solutions of rice dextrin which involves a first filtration at 35.degree. C. and 50.degree. C. and a second filtration at temperatures above 80.degree. C. using filter aid and activated carbon.

Abstract: A unit dose package, which is usable with a bottle to reconstruct the contents of the package, has a plastic fitment which defines a mouth opening for the package. The plastic fitment is bonded to a wall of the package and has a channel which receives the neck of the bottle. A flexible foil membrane seal is removably attached to this plastic fitment and is covered by a protective overcap.
