Title: Evaluating disease progression using magnetic resonance imaging
Inventor: PELLETIER JEAN-PIERRE
IPC: G06T5/50
Filed: 2000-11-01
Abstract: An orthopedic magnetic resonance imaging system is disclosed. This system includes a source of magnetic resonance imaging data sets resulting from successive magnetic resonance imaging acquisitions from a diseased joint of a patient. A segmentation module segments surfaces in the joint based on information contained within at least one of the data sets, and a registration module spatially registers, in three dimensions, information represented by a first of the data sets with respect to information represented by one or more further data sets for the same patient. A comparison module detects differences between information represented by the data sets caused by progression of the disease in the joint of the patient between acquisitions. A cross-patient comparison module can compare detected differences for the patient with detected differences for at least one other patient.

Title: Continuous-tone to dithered image conversion
Inventor: ULICHNEY ROBERT A
IPC: H04N1/40
Filed: 1988-03-09
Abstract: A digital image processing system for converting continuous tone pixel values representing an image into halftone or dithered pixel values, with the dithered pixel values representing each pixel having fewer bits than are used to represent each pixel in the continuous tone image. The continuous tone pixel for a line of pixels is loaded into an input buffer circuit having a plurality of storage locations, with each location storing the continuous-tone values for one pixel. Iteratively, the pixel value from each location is modified by a perturbed weighted error value, and then quantized to form the output halftone or dithered pixel value. An error value is then determined which is used in processing of subsequent continuous tone pixel values. The processing of the continuous tone pixel values procedes in a serpentine manner over the image, that is, processing of adjacent lines of the continuous tone pixel data proceeds in opposite directions.

Patent AU-2417492-A (AU)
Title: An in-car coffee maker
IPC: A47J31/00
Filed: 1992-07-28
Abstract: The In-Car Coffee Maker allows the driver of a motor vehicle to brew a cup or other single portion of brewed beverage without taking attention from the road. The device is stabilized by an anchored base. There is a rotatable holder clamp to level the coffee maker on an uneven floor or other surface of a motor vehicle, and an interlock mechanism prevents commencement of the brewing cycle unless the drinking cup is applied in proper position adjacent the coffee maker. A showerhead configuration above a brewing chamber allows heated water to dispersably contact a prepackaged filter containing beverage precursor particles. A thermostat control causes automatic shut-off when a single portion has brewed. A water reservoir is removable and resealable. Splash guard features are provided in the drinking cup for safety.

Title: Method and installation for solidifying large quantities of slurry-like materials
Inventor: STRAUS REINHOLD
IPC: B09C1/00
Filed: 1997-04-04
Abstract: The method described calls for the slurry-like material, located in a natural or artifical basin, to be set in motion in situ in limited areas, one after the other, and for a solidifying agent to be introduced over a given depth and simultaneously mixed into the material, the solidifying agent being fed from a supply tank outside or inside the basin directly to the point of introduction. The installation described includes an excavator vehicle (30) fitted with a boom (35) on which is mounted at least one earth-working implement, such as one or more vertical rotary cutters (50a, b). The earth-working implement is connected by a hose line (20a, b) to a tanker vehicle (10) from which solidifying agent is fed into the rotary cutters which introduce it into the material (1) being treated. Solidification of the material (2) can thus be carried out relatively rapidly, allowing the excavator (30), which is a vehicle with a low ground pressure, to advance.

Patent AU-3446889-A (AU)
Title: Crew oxygen mask with pneumatic comfort adjustment
Inventor: AULGUR CHARLES C
IPC: A62B18/08
Filed: 1989-02-21
Abstract: A respirator especially constructed for flight crews has a harness strap which can be inflated to a somewhat rigid, self-sustaining orientation to permit one-handed placement of the respirator over the wearer's head. Once the respirator is in place, release of a lever for inflating the strap deflates the latter to an orientation sufficient to cause the resilient strap to tightly press a peripheral seal of the respirator mask against nose and mouth areas of the user's face. A comfort adjustment to relieve strap tension permits selective reinflation of the strap to a somewhat smaller value than necessary for initial donning of the harness, and the limited reinflation pressure is sufficient for causing the mask to seal against the face during pressure demand breathing. In instances where pressurized breathing is needed, however, pressure within the strap is automatically released so that the strap presents sufficient bias to hold the mask against the face without oxygen leakage therepast.

Title: Means for measuring milk obtained by milking
Inventor: OJALA LAURI
IPC: A01J5/01
Filed: 1985-01-22
Abstract: A means for measuring milk drawn with a pipe milking machine, particularly in systems according to the Patent F1 65697, in which the milk is pumped from a centrepiece (2) by a vacuum pipe (4) with the aid of a pump (6) into a milk pipe (12) under normal pressure. The pump of said Patent operates under control by the pulsator of the milking machine. Hence follows that the piston strokes are different in length, and therefore their number does not give the exact milk quantity. As taught by the present invention, the operation of the pump takes place under control by vacuum so that the extreme positions of the pump's piston control a control valve (24, 24'). The control valve admits the vacuum alternatingly on either side (8, 10) of the upper part of the pump piston (7). The piston stroke length thus obtained is accurate enough, whereby the piston stroke with the aid of the readings of a counter (25) yields an accurate enough milk quantity measuring result. The means also enables a sample quantity of desired magnitude to be taken.

There is hereby obtained a gutter which is both quickly and easily mounted and taken down and where the parts are nevertheless securely held together so that an axial movement between the parts will not occur.
