Systems and methods for deriving a cardiac cycle signal by selecting images of a portion of a cardiovascular system include receiving a plurality of images from a scanner that have been recorded over a period of time. The images represent one or more locations along the extent of the cardiovascular system. The images are then selected based on common criteria determined from the plurality of images and without reference to an external signal. The common criteria comprises changes in the size of a cross section of the aorta, changes in the volume of the heart, changes in the area of a cross section of the heart. In addition, the criteria can include the mean pixel difference between adjacent images.

An apparatus and method for fabricating a flat panel display having a display area greater than 645 square centimeters. The flat panel display is comprised of an upper glass plate and a lower glass plate and has data generation material interposed between the upper glass plate and the lower glass plate. The flat panel display is formed by aligning the suitably etched upper glass plate with respect to the suitably etched lower glass plate in the X, Y, and Z planes. During formation, the upper glass plate has spacing devices disposed on the lower side thereof and the lower glass plate has bonding material deposited on the upper side thereof. The apparatus includes a lower plate XY stage device for supporting the lower glass plate, the lower plate XY stage device being adjustable in the X and Y planes. An upper plate positioning stage device is included for supporting the upper glass plate. The upper plate positioning stage device has gimbal devices that permit motion of the upper glass plate in the X, Y and Z planes and in pitch and yaw. A Z-axis drive device positions the upper plate with respect to the lower glass plate. A vacuum device draws a vacuum around and between the upper and lower glass plates, which vacuum urges the lower surface of the upper glass plate into parallel aligmnent with the upper surface of the lower glass plate, spaced apart by the spacing devices. An alignment device aligns the upper and lower glass plates while a curing device the sets of the bonding material, bonding the upper and lower glass plates together.

Compositions and methods for determining immunologically cross-reactive molecules comprising a cross-reactive antigenic determinant are provided, in particular for determining proteins comprising cross-reactive antigenic determinants, in particular for determining proteins that are cross-reactive based on serological screens using sequential immunological challenges to an animal, including determining cross-reactive H. parasuis proteins. Also provided are compositions, vaccines, and kits using the molecules for diagnostics and methods for preventing or treating a disease, disorder, condition, or symptoms thereof associated with infectious agents, in particular infectious microorganisms, in particular for preventing or treating a disease, disorder, condition, or symptom thereof associated with H. parasuis infection.

A method of forming metallic connector patterns for solar cells, whereby an embosser having raised features shaped in the form of a metallic connector pattern is used to attach a portion of a metallic foil to a transparent conductive layer formed on a top transparent surface of a solar cell structure. The raised surfaces of the embosser press the metallic foil portion against the transparent conductive layer. Heat and pressure directed to the metallic foil portion attach the metallic foil portion to the underlying transparent conductive layer, and then the rest of the metallic foil, which is not attached to the transparent conductive layer, is removed.

A method and system for battery protection. In some aspects, a battery pack configured to be interfaced with a power tool includes a housing, a cell, a controller, and a circuit. The circuit is operable to enable the controller to operate when the voltage supplied by the cell to the controller is below an operating voltage threshold off the controller.

A method for producing a zirconia-layered orthopedic implant component includes depositing zirconium onto the orthopedic implant component, thereby forming a zirconium-layered component, and converting at least a portion of the zirconium into a substantially monoclinic zirconia surface layer unaccompanied by a substantial underlying α-phase. A method for producing a zirconia-layered orthopedic implant component includes depositing zirconium onto the orthopedic implant component by ion bombardment and deposition in a vacuum to form a zirconium-layered component including an intermix zone at least 1000 Å thick and a zirconium layer about 3-5 μm thick, and heat treating the zirconium-layered component at a temperature of about 500-600° C. in an atmosphere containing oxygen.
