Abstract:
A system and method for automated image analysis which may enhance, for example, capsule endoscopy diagnosis. The system and methods may reduce the time required for diagnosis, and also help improve diagnostic consistency using an interactive feedback tool. Furthermore, the system and methods may be applicable to any procedure where efficient and accurate visual assessment of a large set of images is required.
Abstract:
A polyol includes the reaction product of an epoxidized oil and an organic acid. The epoxidized oil and the organic acid are reacted in the presence of a Lewis base catalyst including at least one of a phosphorous atom or a nitrogen atom. The polyol is formed by a method that includes the step of reacting the epoxidized oil with the organic acid in the presence of the Lewis base catalyst.

Abstract:
A proppant comprises a particle and a polycarbodiimide coating disposed on the particle. The polycarbodiimide coating comprises the reaction product of a polymeric isocyanate and a monomeric isocyanate, in the presence of a catalyst. A method of forming the proppant comprises the steps of providing the particle, providing the polymeric isocyanate, providing the monomeric isocyanate, providing the catalyst, reacting the polymeric isocyanate and the monomeric isocyanate in the presence of the catalyst to form the polycarbodiimide coating, and coating the particle with the polycarbodiimide coating.
Abstract:
