    摘要: This invention relates to a computer-implemented simulation system comprising a needle device having a retractable needle shaft comprising a resistance mechanism which can be activated to vary the resistance of the needle shaft. A processing module is configured to: receive ultrasound image data representative of a subject being scanned, receive position and orientation data representative of an ultrasound probe and a needle device, calculate a projected path for the needle device and generate a simulation needle from the projected path. When the simulation needle is determined to intersect with an identified tissue type, it modulates a signal and sends the modulated signal to the resistance mechanism, thereby to cause a change in the resistive force acting on the retractable needle shaft. The invention also relates to a computer-implemented method for simulating ultrasound guided needling using this system.

    摘要: To dynamically manage a temperature of an electronic device, a local temperature is provided by measuring a temperature of a local spot in the electronic device and a reference temperature is provided by measuring a temperature of a reference spot in the electronic device where the reference spot and the local spot are thermally coupled. A target temperature corresponding to a limit value of the reference temperature is adjusted based on the local temperature and a power level of the electronic device is controlled based on the same target temperature. The target temperature may be set to a relatively high value to secure performance of the electronic device when the local temperature is relatively low. Alternatively, the target temperature may be set to a relatively low value to pursue stability of the electronic device when the local temperature is relatively high.

    摘要: The split cycle engine of the present disclosure comprises a compression cylinder (10) accommodating a compression piston (12), a combustion cylinder (20) accommodating a combustion piston (22), a recuperator (35) arranged to exchange heat between exhaust fluid (95) from the combustion cylinder and working fluid being supplied from the compression cylinder to the combustion cylinder via a crossover passage (30). A controller is configured to control operation of the engine based on an indication of a temperature of at least one of a material of the recuperator and the working fluid in the crossover passage.

    摘要: Provided is a computer-based supplier knowledge management method, system, and computer program product. The system embodies the computer program code which, when executed performs the method. The method includes establishing an electronic profile for one or more users from an entity; establishing an electronic supplier profile for each of a plurality of suppliers, each supplier profile comprising a set of supplier keywords; generating an electronic RFI by an entity user, the RFI comprising a set of user specified RFI keywords corresponding to a project; and electronically processing the RFI, including performing keyword matching between the RFI keywords and one or more of the supplier profiles and generating a list of candidate suppliers for the project based, at least in part, on the keyword matching.

    摘要: The present invention discloses a reconfigurable wideband phase-switched screen (PSS) based on an artificial magnetic conductor (AMC). Gap capacitance between patches is controlled by changing the capacitance of varactors, so that periodic units have a plurality of continuous frequency points. A phase difference between two adjacent frequency bands is 143°-217°, so that the periodic structure absorbs incident electromagnetic waves in a wide frequency band, and the broadband PSS is implemented with a relative bandwidth of 45.2%. The AMC structure according to the present invention is simple in structure and easy to process, with a thickness less than one twentieth of the working wavelength, and greatly reduces size and costs.
