Abstract: One aspect of the invention provides a vessel treatment system including: a housing defining at least one opening adapted and configured to receive an anatomical vessel; and a humidifier in communication with the housing, the humidifier adapted and configured to introduce humidity into the housing to prevent desiccation of the anatomical vessel. Another aspect of the invention provides a kit including: the vessel treatment system as described herein; and a passivation agent. Another aspect of the invention provides a method for preparing a vein graft. The method includes: applying a tissue passivation agent to a resected anatomical vessel; and placing the resected anatomical vessel in a humidified chamber while the tissue passivation agent cures.

Abstract: An image capturing system includes: a plurality of image capturing devices, wherein each image capturing device is adapted to capture an image of an object and transmit the captured image; and a processor in communication with each of the image capturing devices, the processor adapted to transmit a, control signal to each of the image capturing devices, receive each of the captured images, process the captured images, and transmit the processed captured images, wherein the processing of the captured images includes combining the images to appear as a seamless single rotational image.

Abstract: Apparatus for inspecting the finish of a container as the container is held and rotated about its central axis. A light source is positioned to direct diffused light energy onto the container finish, and a camera is positioned across the axis of the container from the light source. The camera comprises multiple arrays of light sensitive elements positioned with respect to the camera focusing elements on a common optical plane opposed to the light source to receive non-overlapping images of the container finish spaced from each other laterally of the container axis. Information processing electronics are coupled to the camera arrays for indicating optical characteristics of the container finish as differing functions of light intensity incident on the elements of each array.
