Abstract:
A punch for a hydroforming die includes a body, a neck extending axially from the body, a head extending axially from the neck and having a diameter less than a diameter of the body and a thumbnail slot extending axially and radially into the head to allow fluid within a tubular member to force a wall portion of the tubular member outward into the slot of the punch and be sheared by the punch to produce an opening in the tubular member.
Abstract:
A method of dynamically reconstructing three dimensional (3D) tomographic images from a set of projection images is disclosed. The method includes the steps of loading a set of projection images into a memory device, determining a reconstruction method for the set of projection images, reconstructing a 3D tomographic image from the set of projection images to be displayed to a user; and performing any post reconstruction processing on the 3D tomographic image.
