A surgical simulation model generating method includes: a first process in which a computing unit acquires geometrical information of an organ from a medical image stored in a storage unit, including an image of the organ, and generates volume data for the organ; a second process in which, after the first process, the computing unit forms nodal points by meshing the organ represented by the generated volume data; a third process in which the computing unit generates a simulated membrane that covers the organ represented by the volume data meshed in the second process; and a fourth process in which the computing unit generates a simulated organ by drawing an imaginary line so as to extend from each nodal point formed on a surface of the organ represented by the volume data meshed in the second process in a direction that intersects the simulated membrane and thereby forming a membrane nodal point at a point where the imaginary line intersects the simulated membrane generated in the third process, and by arranging on each imaginary line an imaginary inter-membrane spring that connects between the nodal point formed on the surface of the organ and the membrane nodal point, while also arranging an in-plane spring that connects between adjacent membrane nodal points on the simulated membrane.

Medical image data is utilized, physical values are assigned to body parts based on image information, and the target organs are separated from the image data to prepare a 3D biodata model to thereby realize a data model unique to a patient, having an internal structure, and enabling dynamic simulation of a live body. The same target part of a body is captured by CT and MRI to obtain medical images. Sets of pairs of CT images and MRI images are set, a plurality of features showing the same locations are selected and set from the sets of CT images and MRI images, a conversion coefficient between the CT images and MRI images is obtained, and this conversion coefficient is used to rearrange the MRI images by projection transforms and linear interpolation, combine them with the contours of the CT images, and correct their positions in the contours. Further, the images are used to prepare a 3D data model.

The invention provides a simulation system and method having an image generating function that can visualize the behavior of an object of analysis in real time. The behavior of the object of analysis is divided into a plurality of subspaces, and is visualized as subspace images by an MP method by performing simulation computations for the respective subspaces at nodes 431 to 438. The subspace images are sent to a pipelined composer 44 where the images are blended together by considering occlusion relationships determined by reference to a viewpoint by a BSP method. The resulting composited image is corrected for distortion at a server 40 by using a texture mapping function, and is displayed on a display apparatus 41.

A free weight unit with a spinning mass element, which comprises a casing for accommodating the spinning mass element in a rotatable manner about a rotation axis, and also accommodating an electric motor for rotationally driving the mass element and a battery for the electric motor. This free weight unit is designed to be used effectively for training, rehabilitating or physical exercising of the human body, and the-casing generally has a relatively large dimension sufficient to accommodate a relatively large mass element, which may be difficult to be gripped directly by hand. In this free weight unit, a certain vector of the precessional output torque is generated due to an input torque applied to the spinning mass element rotating about the rotation axis, by operating a selected one of the two elongated sections of the shiftable member to turn about a certain input axis extending in a direction different from a direction of the rotation axis.

A measuring apparatus is provided in one of two objects moving relatively to each other. The apparatus includes a circuit for effecting a direct spread modulation with respect to a transmission carrier signal using modulation codes; an antenna unit for transmitting the modulated carrier signal toward the other of the two objects and for receiving a reflection wave therefrom; a circuit for demodulating the received reflection wave signal using the transmission carrier signal; a circuit for making correlation between the demodulated output signal and a signal having the same code as that of the modulation code and having a phase delayed by a predetermined time; a unit for extracting a Doppler frequency component contained in a signal which has been propagated through a propagation path existing in a specified distance range; and a circuit for properly processing the extracted Doppler frequency component. By the constitution, it is possible to precisely measure a speed and/or direction angle of one object relative to the other of the two objects, without being subject to an influence by a reflection in the close neighborhood, or an influence by interference of a transmission signal or interference signal in a receiving channel of the apparatus.

By the constitution, it is possible to precisely measure a speed of the railroad vehicle without being subject to the influence by a slip or glide of the wheels under any circumstances. It is also possible to specify a movement distance and position of the vehicle on a real-time basis.

Also, it is possible to expand a maximum range of detection of the input angular velocity.

A method of eliminating liquid foam appearing on the surface of a liquid tent in a reaction vessel is characterized by employing a liquid particle diffusion device with a liquid ejecting nozzle element and a liquid diffusing element for radially diffusing the liquid circulated from the reaction vessel in the form of liquid particles having kinetic energy. The liquid particles hit and break the foam thereby eliminating the foam.
