摘要:
A system and method for providing private message monitoring in a virtual class session monitors student private messages using natural language processing. The system is configured to communicatively couple a teacher computer, one or more student computers, and a web server over the Internet. The web server captures a private message between a first student computer and a second student computer, extract message text from the private message, process the extracted message text using natural language processing to identify a message topic, and when the message topic is not a current topic in a virtual class session, transmit a message to the first student computer and the second student computer to stay on topic of the virtual class session.

A traffic manager includes an execution unit that is responsive to instructions related to queuing of data in memory. The instructions may be provided by a network processor that is programmed to generate such instructions, depending on the data. Examples of such instructions include (1) writing of data units (of fixed size or variable size) without linking to a queue, (2) re-sequencing of the data units relative to one another without moving the data units in memory, and (3) linking the previously-written data units to a queue. The network processor and traffic manager may be implemented in a single chip.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for producing water-dominant and fat-dominant MR signal data for use in constructing separate images from single-scan single-point Dixon MRI sequences is disclosed. The effects of field inhomogeneities are removed by quantitating the signal phase by taking the argument of the MR signal multiplied by itself. A region-growing algorithm guided by a polynomial model is used to unwrap the phase which is then used to separately generate water-pixel data and fat-pixel data for producing separate images. The invention can be used for constructing images from both 2-D and 3-D spin-echo and/or field-echo acquisitions.
摘要:
An improved MRI magnet structure is created by utilizing a lower pole mounting support with one or more vertically extending yokes. The one or more vertically extending yokes mount an upper pole mounting structure including an upper pole mounting ring and at least one spoke connecting the ring to at least one of the vertically extending structural supports. The average effective spacing of the upper pole mounting structure is greater than the air gap between the upper and lower pole thereby resulting in improved uniformity of the B.sub.o field at the patient imaging volume. In a preferred embodiment, a pie-shaped cryostat encompasses a plurality of radially distributed superconducting electromagnets for generating a more uniform field in the patient imaging volume. The patient imaging field uniformity in some embodiments can be improved by the use of shim coils and/or shim rings associated with either the upper or lower poles to further modify the field within the patient imaging volume.

Methods and systems for automatic adjustment of the transmit power are provided. Excess transmit power is determined as a function of the difference between a noise level and the lower end of the dynamic range of the system as configured. Based on the excess transmit power, the transmit power is reduced from the regulated maximum default settings to about a minimum while substantially preserving the original display image. This minimizes the acoustic energy delivered to the transducer and the body, thus reducing transducer heating and satisfying the FDA's ALARA principle.

The invention includes methods of selectively etching polysilicon relative to at least one of deposited oxide, thermally grown oxide and nitride, and methods of selectively etching polysilicon relative to BPSG. In one implementation, a method of selectively etching polysilicon relative to at least one of deposited oxide, thermally grown oxide and nitride, includes forming a substrate to have a layer comprising polysilicon received over at least one layer comprising at least one of deposited oxide, thermally grown oxide, and nitride. The polysilicon is exposed to an aqueous solution comprising NH4F, an oxidizer, CH3COOH, TMAH, and HF under conditions effective to selectively etch at least a portion of the polysilicon comprising layer relative to an ultimately exposed portion of the at least one of deposited oxide, thermally grown oxide, and nitride. In one implementation, the polysilicon is exposed to an aqueous solution comprising NH4F, an oxidizer, CH3COOH, and TMAF under conditions effective to selectively etch at least a portion of the polysilicon comprising layer relative to an ultimately exposed portion of the at least one of deposited oxide, thermally grown oxide, and nitride.
摘要:
A chromatographic device comprising a column body having a first end and a closed second end. The device further includes a piston inside the column body, a chromatographic medium, a rod, and a locking mechanism. The chromatographic medium is within the column body and between the piston and the second end. The rod has a longitudinal rod axis and is operatively engageable with the piston for pressing the piston in the column body. The locking mechanism is adapted for locking the rod relative to the column body in a manner to prevent movement of the rod relative to the column body in an outward longitudinal direction away from the piston without preventing movement of the rod relative to the column body in an inward longitudinal direction toward the piston. Preferably, the chromatographic device includes a spring for exerting a constant axial compression against the piston to prevent the formation of voids in the packing medium.
