  • Publication number: 20110178495
    Abstract: An internal dry powder delivery system through a working channel of an endoscopic cannula for directly applying the powder form medication to an internal tissue/organ site, includes an elongated tubular delivery channel and a powder supply device for producing pressurized gas mixing with the dry powder for feeding to form a mixture of dry powder and pressurized gas delivering to an internal tissue/organ site through the delivery channel via endoscopic cannula. It ensures a smooth powder release by preventing liquid from accumulation at the tip of the delivery channel and offers physicians a new powder form drug delivery method via endoscope. Also, it offers new minimal invasive application by directly and precisely applying the powder format drug to the internal sites of human gastrointestinal organ via endoscope to achieve hemostasis, anti-inflammation, anti-ulcer and anti-tumor treatment, etc.

  • Publication number: 20090062233
    Abstract: A modified starch material for biocompatible hemostasis, biocompatible adhesion prevention, tissue healing promotion, absorbable surgical wound sealing and tissue bonding, when applied as a biocompatible modified starch to the tissue of animals. The modified starch material produces hemostasis, reduces bleeding of the wound, extravasation of blood and tissue exudation, preserves the wound surface or the wound in relative wetness or dryness, inhibits the growth of bacteria and inflammatory response, minimizes tissue inflammation, and relieves patient pain. Any excess modified starch not involved in hemostatic activity is readily dissolved and rinsed away through saline irrigation during operation. After treatment of surgical wounds, combat wounds, trauma and emergency wounds, the modified starch hemostatic material is rapidly absorbed by the body without the complications associated with gauze and bandage removal.

  • Patent number: 7415137
    Abstract: A method of processing an image includes steps of identifying one candidate for a human face region within an image; calculating a probability that the candidate for human face region represents a human face; and saving the probability as attached information to the image. The method of processing an image can also include steps of identifying one candidate for human face region within an image; calculating a probability that the candidate for human face region represents a human face; judging whether or not the candidate for human face region represents a human face by comparing the probability with a threshold; and saving a result of the step of judging as attached information to the image. According to these methods, results of identifying candidates for human face regions will be saved to the image, and further processes to be conducted on the image can be facilitated.

  • Patent number: 7403636
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method of processing an image, which includes the steps of identifying one candidate for human face region within the image, selecting a mouth neighborhood within the candidate for human face region, processing the mouth neighborhood, and classifying the candidate for human face region based on results of the processing step. According to the method of the present invention, human faces are detected just based on pixels included in the mouth neighborhood, but not all the pixels of the entire face.

  • Patent number: 7103218
    Abstract: For a subset of pixels in an image in which it is desired to detect a human face if one is present, a first variable is derived from the gray-level distribution of the image, and a second variable is derived from a preset reference distribution that is characteristic of the object. The correspondence between the first variable and the second variable is then evaluated over the subset of pixels, and a determination is made as to whether the image contains the object, based on the result of this evaluation.
