Abstract: A system and method for modifying media stream based on a channel limitation are disclosed. In one embodiment, the system includes a channel analyzer, a modality of interest (MOI) identification module and an inter-modality resolution modification module. The channel analyzer determines a channel limitation. The MOI identification module receives a plurality of media streams and identifies at least one MOI. The inter-modality resolution modification module modifies a resolution of at least one of the media streams based on the channel limitation and content of the media streams. In another embodiment, the system includes a region of interest identification (ROI) module and an intra-modality resolution modification module instead of, or in addition to, the MOI identification module and inter-modality resolution modification module. The ROI identification module receives a media stream and identifies at least one ROI within the media stream.

Abstract: A system and method for scheduling a patient for remote, virtual consultation by a first available matching medical service provider are disclosed. In one embodiment, the system includes a classifier, a medical analyzer and a scheduler. The classifier associates a specialty with the first medical service provider (FMSP). The medical analyzer identifies a condition associated with the patient and identifies a specialty of medical service provider that can address the condition. The scheduler generates a list of patients waiting for medical consultation, receives an indication of availability of the FMSP, selects a patient from the list of patients based at least in part on whether the FMSP is associated with the specialty of medical service provider that can address the condition associated with the patient, checks for an available consultation device at a node associated with the patient, and assigns the FMSP for remote, virtual consultation with the patient.

Abstract: A device for assembling and adjusting an optical unit of the present invention includes an adjusting device including a collimator lens, an object lens, a disk, and a signal sensing system. A light beam output from the optical unit is incident to the collimator lens. Parallel rays output from the collimator lens are incident to the object leans. Further, a spot converged by the object lens is incident to the disk. The signal sensing system receives a light beam reflected by the disk via the object lens to thereby determine a distance between the object lens and the disk and a positional relation between the spot on the disk and the groove of the disk. The device allows the position of a light emitting element to be accurately determined and therefore allows the angular deviation of the intensity distribution of the light emitting element from a designed value to be easily grasped.

Abstract: In a method and an apparatus for removing an image forming substance such as toner from an image holding member such as a transfer paper sheet, the toner on the transfer paper sheet is heated to be melted or softened. An offset belt having adhesive force stronger than that between the transfer paper sheet and the toner comes in contact with the toner. The toner is separated and removed from the transfer paper sheet when the offset belt and the transfer paper sheet are separated from each other. Heating of the toner is maintained until the transfer paper sheet is separated from the offset belt. The transfer paper sheet is separated from the offset belt before the toner is cooled and solidified. A toner heating maintaining device is constructed by using a heating-supporting member having a heater therein and arranged such that the transfer paper sheet and the offset belt are supported between the heating-supporting member and a heating roller.

Abstract: An apparatus capable of surely removing a toner or similar image forming substance stably cohered to a sheet, and an apparatus for processing a sheet are disclosed. A liquid supply unit uniformly supplies a liquid to a toner carried on the sheet. The sheet infiltrated with the liquid is heated by a toner removing unit to have to the toner thereof softened. As a result, the toner adheres to the surface of an offset member implemented as a belt or a drum. The sheet containing the liquid therein is conveyed to the toner removing unit without creasing, breaking or folding.
