Abstract: The invention relates to a method of segmenting a three-dimensional structure from a three-dimensional, and in particular medical, data set while making allowance for user corrections. The method is performed with the help of a deformable three-dimensional model whose surface is formed by a network of nodes and mashes that connect these nodes. Once the model has been positioned at the point in the three-dimensional data set at which the structure to be segmented is situated and positions of nodes have, if necessary, been changed by known methods of segmentation, any desired nodes can be displaced manually. The nodes of the model are re-calculated by making weighted allowance for the nodes that have been displaced manually.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided in which an origination station broadcasts a broadcast program to at least one of a plurality of destination stations. A first destination station (or a first group of destination stations) receives a first registration period parameter from the origination station. The first registration period parameter specifies a first period during which the first destination station must register with the origination station. The first destination station may block any attempted registration request that occurs outside the first period. Alternatively, the origination station can deny any attempted registration request by the first destination station that occurs outside the first period. If the registration request from the first destination station is sent before the first period begins, then the destination station can periodically request registration until a request is sent within the first period.

Abstract: An apparatus and method is provided for dynamic range power control of a wireless downlink communication signal (100), such that target signal quality adjustments are held temporarily (102) when it is apparent that transmit power control commands will not produce the desired response at the transmitting station. Comparisons of measured received signals to thresholds are performed to determine whether the transmitting station has either reached the maximum or minimum transmit power, in which case the target signal quality adjustment is controlled accordingly. When normal transmit power is detected (121), the target signal quality adjustments are allowed to resume as usual.
