摘要:
A method for the analysis of three dimensional scan data representing an articular cartilage is provided to extract a quantitative parameter indicative of joint pathology. A measure of local curvature of the cartilage is determined within a region of interest. The value of the quantitative parameter of this joint derived from this measure is compared with the value of a similar quantitative parameter previously established in respect of healthy joints and/or joints characterised by a pathology.

It is possible to provide a thermal transfer sheet capable of obtaining a hairline pattern easily and quickly. A thermal transfer sheet 1 is manufactured by the following method. The thermal transfer sheet has a transfer layer 12 layered on a substance sheet 10. A predetermined pattern is formed on the surface of the transfer layer 12. The predetermined pattern of the transfer layer 12 is formed by copying plenty of grooves 12a...12a from a master plate 30, the plenty of grooves 12a...12a being formed in a hairline pattern on a surface of the master plate 30.

A method of deriving an estimate of the extent of fracture in a vertebra shown in an image of part of A spine is provided. The images of at least two vertebrae are segmented to obtain data representative of the shape and size of each of the vertebrae. An approximation of the shape of a first of the vertebrae is reconstructed by comparing the data obtained for a second of the two vertebrae with a mathematical model of at least the same two vertebrae of an unfractured spine . The unfractured shape of the first vertebra is predicted to enable a comparison of the shape and size of the first vertebra as imaged with the predicted unf ractured shape and size. The difference between the respective images is subsequently computed to obtain a result representative of the extent of fracture in the first vertebra.

A cartridge for fluid material comprises a tubular receiver (2) and a plunger (4). The tubular receiver (2) is provided at its front end portion with an outlet opening. The plunger (4) is disposed in the tubular receiver at its rear end portion so as to be slidable therein. The tubular receiver is formed of a thin film (21).

An accessory for a fuel burning or processing engine includes a housing having a lower housing element with a pivotally mounted cover, so that the housing may be snap-fitted to a high tension lead, such as the lead extending to a spark plug in an internal combustion engine. A core of semi-circular section; formed of a material having ferri-magnetic properties is present within the housing, the core defining a recess which receives the high tension lead. As the cover of the housing is closed, the high tension lead is clamped and retained in place in the recess. The feiri-magneticcore has high resistivity and low reluctance, and is preferably formed of ferrite.

The present invention relates to an absorbent article comprising a plurality of first colored areas and a second colored area which are viewable by a user from a body-facing side of a topsheet, wherein the second colored area surrounds at least some of the first colored areas, a delta E between the first colored areas and the second colored area is at least about 4.5, an average mean area of the first colored areas is not smaller than about 0.20mm 2 , and a density of the first colored areas is about 4-24 areas/cm 2 .

As provided in the present invention, a shaving aid element (60) includes a novel shaving aid holder (64) having one or more "undercut elements" (68b) incorporated on its upper surface. These undercut elements provide an interlocking mechanism to retain a shaving aid portion (66b) to the shaving aid holder. The interlocking mechanism of the undercut element comprises an interlock area (65) of the shaving aid portion and an interlock area (69) of the shaving aid holder. The undercut elements include one or more protrusions or cavities, in the upper surface of the shaving aid holder, and may be curved hook- like structures or mushroom shaped structures, straight - line structures, or angled structures, in any combination. The shaving aid portion, as not being disposed on a lower surface of the shaving aid holder, provides utility for disposing at least one aesthetic element (e.g., indicia), at least one functional element (e.g., exfoliation) or any combination thereof.
