Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for reconstructing an X-ray CT (computerized tomography) image. The method includes acquiring projection data by means of irradiation of X-rays on a target object at a position close to an X-ray generator such that a portion of the target object including a local region of interest exists within a range of irradiation angles of X-rays, calculating virtual projection data on the assumption that the X-rays are irradiated on the entire target object at the close position, based on projection data acquired through irradiation of the X-rays on the entire target object at a position where the entire target object exists within the range of irradiation angles of X-rays, combining the virtual projection data on the entire target object except data on the local region of interest with the projection data acquired at the position close to the X-ray generator, and reconstructing the combined projection data.

Abstract:
Disclosed is a bone-conduction transducer comprising a plate-shaped yoke bent to form a pair of cut portions at both ends thereof; voice coils fitted to a center extension of the cut portions; a magnet and a plate of rectangular parallelepiped shape disposed between the voice coils; and a diaphragm minutely spaced from a lower part of the plate. The present invention constructed as above has an advantage of optimizing the bone-conduction transducer by fitting the voice coils to both the center extensions of the yoke to convert electrical signals into magnetic attractive and repulsive forces, and arranging the magnet and the plate between the voice coils. Further, the present invention has yet another advantage of enhancing the output efficiency, minimizing noise, and drastically reducing distortion, by improving functions of a base supporting the diaphragm as well as the diaphragms (made of a very low magnetic resistance material), whose weight is drastically reduced as compared to conventional diaphragms, in a manner of vibrating the diaphragm by virtue of the voice coils and the magnetic attractive and repulsive forces created according to variations in the current applied to the voice coils.

An improved anti-lock brake system for a vehicle includes an open-type hydraulic valve, a closed-type hydraulic valve, an operational liquid storing apparatus, and a solenoid pump. The open-type solenoid valves supply a braking force generated at the master cylinder to the brake wheel cylinders. The closed-type solenoid valves lock the pressure of the brake wheel cylinders and operate to decompress the wheel cylinders. Decompressing orifices determine a decompressing level for the brake wheel cylinders. The liquid storing apparatus stores liquid introduced thereto from the decompressing orifices. The solenoid pumps supply the liquid stored in the liquid storing apparatuses to the brake wheel cylinders to generate a braking force at the wheel cylinders.
