  • Publication number: 20140172315
    Abstract: The present invention covers the integration and utility of accelerometer features into a clinical analysis system. For example, measurement of dynamic acceleration and orientation of a blood-testing instrument with respect to Earth's gravitational field may be used to determine reliability of a test procedure and optionally to provide corrective elements thereof.

  • Patent number: 7729559
    Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method for generating an image are disclosed. A processor may generate a first output image based on a plurality of input images and remove an artefact, if any, from the first output image to generate a second output image. For example, in an embodiment, the processor may calculate a contribution of the artefact to image intensity values and subtract the calculated contribution from the image intensity values. In another embodiment, the processor may delete a predetermined portion of a transform image representing transform data obtained by applying an image transform to the first output image, thereby modifying the transform data, and may generate a non-transform image based on the modified transform data.

  • Publication number: 20070177820
    Abstract: In a system and method for generating an image, a processor may calculate a grid pattern frequency of a plurality of images, particularly where the calculation is based on pixels transformed by a sinusoidal signal variation smoothing procedure, calculate for each of the plurality of images a phase angle of its grid pattern based on the calculated frequency, and calculate for each pixel of an output image a value in accordance with the calculated phase angles and based on values of corresponding pixels of the plurality of images, where the grid patterns are omitted from the output image, and, in particular, where the plurality of images includes more than three images.
