International Classification:

G06K 900

US Classification:

382147

Abstract:

An apparatus and method for inspecting a printed circuit board, whereby a list of windows encompassing respective regions of the printed circuit board are generated. The windows are then scanned, and data representing the respective regions is captured and stored. The captured data includes data relating to a plurality of pixels for each window. Next, data relating to a plurality of adjacent pixels is retrieved, and values of the adjacent pixels are summed. Finally, either the data relating to the plurality of adjacent pixels or the sum of adjacent pixel values is selected for use in subsequent processing. The apparatus and method is especially useful for determining an average brightness level for each window.

US Classification:

210232, 49463

Abstract:

A tether-retained dialyzer port cap has a port cap which is removably connectible to a port of a dialyzer to block the port, and a retention strap that has a first looped end, a second looped end, and having an elongate portion integrally linking the first looped end and the second looped end. The first looped end is adapted to engage around curved sidewalls defining a circumferential surface of a dialyzer component, and the second looped end is i) integrally molded to the port cap, or ii) adapted to fit around an outer surface of a cap stem of the port cap. A dialyzer with the tether-retained dialyzer port cap further is described. The tether-retained dialyzer port cap tethers a port cap to a dialyzer for safe and convenient retention of the cap near the dialyzer for ready re-use to reseal a port of a used dialyzer for disposal handling.
