  • Patent number: 10786241
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a knot-tying device and a knot-tying system with the knot-tying device. The knot-tying device comprises a shear knife provided at a front end of a driving rod. Hilts of the shear knife (18) are opened by an elastic member, and the hilts are pressed by the driving rod to close and cut a suture. The shear knife is used as a substitute for a cutter in the related art, and is driven to close by the driving rod so as to realize a shearing function. When the suture is cut off by the shear knife, a requirement for sharpness of blades are greatly reduced, and the blades are able to be realized by a common processing method, thereby greatly reducing cost while ensuring reliability. In addition, abrasion on the blades from the suture is reduced, thereby greatly prolonging the service life of the product.

  • Publication number: 20080095413
    Abstract: A method of analyzing and recognizing fingerprint images that utilizes vector processing of a vector field that is defined as the tangential vector of the fingerprint ridge curves is disclosed. The raw fingerprint image is divided into blocks, filtered to remove noise, and the orientation direction of each block is found. This allows the ridge curves to be enhanced and approximated by piece-wise linear approximations. The piece-wise linear approximations to the ridge curves allow the minutiae to be extracted and classified and a fingerprint minutiae template to be constructed. An enrollment process gathers multiple fingerprint images, creates fingerprint minutiae templates corresponding to the acquired fingerprint images, and stores the templates and other data associated with the respective individual or the enrolled fingerprint in a fingerprint database.
