    摘要: Thermal strain imaging can be used to identify vascular plaques. Methods include heating and imaging with ultrasound to identify vulnerable plaques, which typically consist of a large lipid-rich core, in peripheral arteries of a patient. Lipid-bearing tissue has a negative temperature dependence of sound speed, whereas water-based tissue has a positive one, allowing thermal strain imaging to differentiate the two different types of tissues with high contrast to characterize plaque composition. Apparatus and methods of the present teachings allow noninvasive and reliable plaque identification.

    摘要: An illuminated decorative article comprises a hollow plastic article having front and rear walls and forming a decorative shape, and multiple light sources disposed within the hollow plastic article. At least the front panel of the hollow article is transparent to transmit light from the multiple sources disposed within the article. The hollow plastic article may be formed from front and rear panels joined to each other around their periphery, e.g., by thermally bonding edge portions of the panels to each other. The multiple light sources may be provided by a single light string, and the panels may be formed from a glossy-surfaced polyvinlychloride plastic sheet or film.
