摘要:
An interactive display system superimposes images of internal structures on a semi-transparent screen through which a surgeon views a patient during a medical procedure. The superimposed image is derived from image data obtained with an imaging system. An invasive device is also tracked and displayed on the semi-transparent screen. A ray extending through the invasive device can also be displayed which shows the intended path of the invasive device. The image is registered with the surgeon's view of the patient and displayed in real-time during a medical procedure. This allows the surgeon to view internal and external structures, the relation between them, the proposed path of the invasive device, and adjust the procedure accordingly. A second embodiment employs stereoscopic viewing methods to provide three-dimensional representations of the radiological images superimposed on the semi-transparent screen through which the surgeon views the patient.
摘要:
A method of collecting three-dimensional magnetic resonance (MR) fluid flow images from a volume of a subject and constructing a high contrast low noise two-dimensional image therefrom is accomplished by statistical calculation of voxel values along projection lines cast through a three-dimensional data volume obtained from three-dimensional MR angiography techniques, and converting the data to projection images by summing the weighted differences from the projection average of data for each voxel along a projection ray. The data are then normalized and repeated for all projection rays to obtain a set of projection values which are displayed on a two-dimensional display device.
摘要:
An apparatus and method for processing a captured image and, more particularly, for processing a captured image comprising a document. In one embodiment, an apparatus comprising a camera to capture documents is described. In another embodiment, a method for processing a captured image that includes a document comprises the steps of distinguishing an imaged document from its background, adjusting the captured image to reduce distortions created from use of a camera and properly orienting the document is described.

摘要:
A process is provided for the degradation of N-phosphonomethylglycine. A mixed culture of microorganisms (ATCC 55050) is attached to an inert, immobile support, and then contacted with an aqueous solution of N-phosphonomethylglycine for a sufficient time to degrade the N-phosphonomethylglycine. One of the microorganisms in the mixed culture was identified as Moraxella anatipestifer (ATCC 55051).

A flexible bladder is provided which may be positioned over the chest of a subject. The flexible bladder contains fluid having substantially the same density as the breathing gas in the subject's lungs. Pressure sensing means are connected to the flexible bladder for monitoring bladder pressure. The bladder pressure is substantially the same as the subject's lung pressure. Thus, the bladder assembly may be used for monitoring lung pressure and controlling the pressure of breathing gas to the subject.

For a telephone handset, a rigid chassis is provided, of elongate form with positions at each end for mounting respectively a receiver and a transmitter and an intermediate position for a pushbutton dial. A flexible circuit member carries the majority of the various components for the handset. The flexible circuit is elongated and extends along the back of the chassis, down through a slot and back along the front of the chassis, with the pushbutton dial assembly attached to the flexible circuit member. The majority of the items such as electronic components, recall button, line cord jack and other components can be preassembled to the flexible circuit member which is then assembled to the chassis, followed by attachment of the pushbutton dial assembly.

An apparatus, latch assembly, keeper and installation method for use in slidable partition applications utilize a keeper formed of first and second angle members that are secured together in an overlapping relationship to define a U-shaped channel within which is disposed a tubular guard projection for protecting a latch from tampering by unauthorized personnel. Optional guard members may also inhibit access to the U-shaped channel when the slidable partition is engaged in a closed orientation.
摘要:
Multiplier based transconductance amplifiers utilizing the combination of FET differential input stages and Gilbert multiplier output stages are disclosed. The amplifiers provide a high input resistance, high output resistance, and wide g.sub.m adjustment range without need for output level-shifting stages. Also disclosed are various transconductance control circuits which require only a simple one-transistor voltage buffer in the feedback loop rather than the two more complex voltage amplifiers required by the prior art. Various embodiments are disclosed.
摘要:
A multiple cantilever spring contact switch has a plurality of cantilever spring contacts, in one or more series, with the contacts of each series clamped between surfaces which provided a predetermined relative inclination of the contacts. A pivotal member is mounted on the switch assembly for actuation by an operating member, the pivotal member in turn actuating the contacts. The contact between operating member and pivotal member is localized so that misalignment between operating member and the switch assembly does not affect actuation of the contacts. Such misalignment can occur when the switch assembly or operating member or both are mounted on printed circuit boards. The switch is particularly suitable for a hook switch of a telephone.
