Timely recognition of threats can be significantly supported by security assistance systems that work continuously in time and call the security personnel in case of anomalous events in the surveillance area. We describe the concept and the realization of an indoor security assistance system for real-time decision support. The system consists of a computer vision module and a person classification module. The computer vision module provides a video event analysis of the entrance region in front of the demonstrator. After entering the control corridor, the persons are tracked, classified, and potential threats are localized inside the demonstrator. Data for the person classification are provided by chemical sensors detecting hazardous materials. Due to their limited spatio-temporal resolution, a single chemical sensor cannot localize this material and associate it with a person. We compensate this deficiency by fusing the output of multiple, distributed chemical sensors with kinematical data from laser-range scanners. Considering both the computer vision formation and the results of the person classification affords the localization of threats and a timely reaction of the security personnel.
The aim of the study was to develop a method for fast and reliable diagnosis of peroxisomal diseases and to facilitate differential diagnosis of cholestatic hepatopathy. For the quantification of bile acids and their conjugates as well as C(27) precursors di- and trihydroxycholestanoic acid (DHCA, THCA), in small pediatric blood samples we combined HPLC separation on a reverse-phase C18 column with ESI-MS/MS analysis in the negative ion mode. Analysis was done with good precision (CV 3,7%-11.1%) and sufficient sensitivity (LOQ: 11-91 nmol/L) without derivatization. Complete analysis of 17 free and conjugated bile acids from dried blood spots and 10 microL serum samples, respectively, was performed within 12 min. Measurement of conjugated primary bile acids plus DHCA and THCA as well as ursodeoxycholic acid was done in 4.5 min. In blood spots of healthy newborns, conjugated primary bile acids were found in the range of 0.01 to 2.01 micromol/L. Concentrations of C(27) precursors were below the detection limit in normal controls. DHCA and THCA were specifically elevated in cases of peroxysomal defects and one Zellweger patient.
