摘要:
A method of advertising in a computer medium, such as the Internet. The method includes providing a virtual instructor in a virtual environment. The virtual instructor is configured to provide content, such as, a foreign language instruction or a translation service of existing foreign language web pages to a user over the Internet. In the substantive content, the virtual instructor embeds or hides promotional content in the substantive content. This promotional content can be a spoken advertisement to the user. The promotional content can be introduced in a subtle manner, and does not distract the user from the lesson. The advertisement may be spoken to the user by the virtual instructor at the time the educational content is provided to the user.
摘要:
An apparatus (10) for obtaining an image of a tooth (20) includes an image sensor and a white light source (12) providing broadband polychromatic light and an ultraviolet light source providing narrow-band light. A combiner (15) directs broadband polychromatic light and narrow band light along a common illumination path to illuminate the tooth. A polarization beamsplitter (18) directs polarized light from the illumination path along an optical axis (216). An optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging apparatus (70) splits the low coherence light into a sample path and a reference path and a dichroic element (78) directs the polarized illumination and the sample path low coherence light along the optical axis. An image processor (100) identifies a region of interest according to either a white light image (124), a fluorescent light image (120), or both and the OCT imaging apparatus obtains an OCT image over the region of interest.

摘要:
A method is disclosed for processing of images to detect dental caries, that includes the following steps. Directing incident light (16) toward a tooth (20), where this light excites a fluorescent emission from the tooth. Obtaining a fluorescence image (35) from the fluorescent light component (19), and obtaining a reflectance image (34) from the back-scattered light (18) from the tooth. Applying a color balance operation to the reflectance image. Removing the specular reflectance components from the color balanced reflectance image (82) to give a back-scattered reflectance image (50). Registering the fluorescent image with the back-scattered reflectance image. Combining the registered fluorescent image (115) with the back-scattered reflectance image to provide a diagnostic image (52).

Methods and apparatus for managing download of content to a client device are disclosed. In one aspect, the download process is optimized for bandwidth usage by using criteria such as time of day, level of network activity and priority of download. In another aspect, download of content is prioritized based on certain rules, user inputs and pre-emptive events on the client device. A computer program embodying these methods and a multimedia client device adapted to run this program are also disclosed.
摘要:
The present invention addresses at least four different aspects relating to catalyst structure, methods of making those catalysts and methods of using those catalysts for making alkenyl alkanoates. Separately or together in combination, the various aspects of the invention are directed at improving the production of alkenyl alkanoates and VA in particular, including reduction of by-products and improved production efficiency. A first aspect of the present invention pertains to a unique palladium/gold catalyst or pre-catalyst (optionally calcined) that includes rhodium or another metal. A second aspect pertains to a palladium/gold catalyst or precatalyst that is based on a layered support material where one layer of the support material is substantially free of catalytic components. A third aspect pertains to a palladium/gold catalyst or pre-catalyst on a zirconia containing support material. A fourth aspect pertains to a palladium/gold catalyst or pre-catalyst that is produced from substantially chloride free catalytic components.

摘要:
A method, executed at least in part by a computer, acquires three- dimensional data from scans of maxillofacial and dental anatomy of a patient and computes cephalometric values from the acquired three-dimensional data. The method processes the computed cephalometric values and generates metrics indicative of tooth positioning along a dental arch of the patient. The generated metrics are analyzed to calculate desired movement vectors for individual teeth within the dental arch. The calculated desired movement vectors are displayed, stored, or transmitted.
