  • Publication number: 20170196449
    Abstract: A scanning LASER ophthalmoscope (SLO) system for real-time montaging includes an adaptive optics scanning light ophthalmoscope (AOSLO) and a wide field scanning light ophthalmoscope (WFSLO). At least one stabilization mirror is controlled by a computer to optically stabilize the AOSLO based at least in part on feedback from the WFSLO. The SLO system also includes a steering means. The SLO system continues to acquire and combine a plurality of AOSLO image frames forming a combined AOSLO image at each of a plurality of narrow field of view (FOV) sites until a predetermined number of images or a predetermined image quality metric (IQM) at each of the combined AOSLO images is achieved. A plurality of the combined AOSLO images is combined to form a SLO montaged image of a wide FOV. A method to montage a plurality of scanning LASER ophthalmoscope (SLO) narrow field of view (FOV) images is also described.

  • Publication number: 20170088441
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and a device for deep oil removal from wastewater containing a low concentration of wasteoil. Wastewater containing a low concentration of wasteoil enters the device via an inlet and passes through a flow conditioner, causing the fluid to become uniformly distributed. Then, by means of a layer of oleophilic-hydrophobic fibers and hydrophilic-oleophobic fibers woven in a certain manner, a trace of oil droplets are captured and then coalesce and grow on the layer, and a trace of oil-in-water emulsion is demulsified and separated on the layer. Finally, by means of corrugation-enhanced sedimentation and separation, the oil droplets coalesce and grow and are then separated rapidly. The invention also provides a set of devices for implementing the method, having several parts such as a housing, a feed pipe, a flow conditioner, a fiber coalescence layer, a corrugation-enhanced separation layer, and a level gauge.
