Title: Method and apparatus for determining an ultrasound fluid flow centerline
Inventor: ABEND KENNETH
IPC: A61B8/12
Filed: 2004-10-29
Abstract: A method and associated apparatus (64) are disclosed for determining the location of an effective center of fluid flow in a vessel using an ultrasound apparatus (64). Ultrasound energy (30) is propagated along an axis of propagation (32) and projects upon the vessel (16). A Doppler-shifted signal (12) reflected from the fluid (8) in the vessel is received and a set of quantities expressed as a density is derived from the Doppler-shifted signal (12) for each of a set of coordinates, the density being a function of the Doppler shift in frequency associated with each of the coordinates. One of a mean, mode or median is calculated for each of the dimensions of the set of coordinates in conjunction with the density associated therewith. This calculation is repeated throughout the field of view (18) of the vessel (16) to define a centerline (14).

Filed: 2004-11-05
Abstract: A polycyclic fused ring type n-conjugated organic material (VIIa, VIIb, VIIc, VIId) is obtained in the following manner. A starting material (I) is dimetalated with an organometallic base. The starting material (I) thus dimetalated is trapped with an organosilicon reagent (i: (1) n-BuLi or t-BuLi; (2) HMe2SiC1). As a result, an intermediate is obtained. Thereafter, the intermediate is allowed to react with a metal reductant. This causes an intramolecular reductive cyclization reaction to proceed. As a result, a dianion intermediate is produced.  The dianion intermediate is trapped with an electrophile (ii: (1) LiNaph, THF, rt, 5 min; (2) electrophile or NH4C1). In this way, the polycyclic fused ring type ri-conjugated organic material is obtained.  The polycyclic fused ring type n-conjugated organic material, an intermediate therefor, a method for producing the polycyclic fused ring type n-conjugated organic material, and a method for producing the intermediate make it possible to provide a polycyclic fused ring type n-conjugated organic material having excellent light-emitting and charge-transporting properties.
