Abstract: Data collected from a cone beam scanner is reconstructed into a volumetric image
representation by defining a plurality of two- or three-dimensional oblique surfaces  (44) 
which are reconstructed into a reconstruction cylinder  (C) . An interpolator  (52)  identifies
non-redundant rays of radiation which pass through the oblique surfaces. More particularly,
rays of radiation that intersect a centre point of each oblique surface are identified along
with rays tangent to surface rings on each oblique surface. Data from the identified non-redundant
rays of radiation is weighted by a first data processor  (54) . A second data
processor  (56)  convolves the weighted data and passes it to a backprojector  (58)  which
backprojects the data into an image memory  (60) . The oblique surface reconstruction
technique facilitates the use of conventional two-dimensional convolution and
backprojection techniques that enjoy relative computational simplicity and efficiency as
well as three-dimensional reconstruction techniques that use a minimum number of
projections. In addition, the oblique surface reconstruction technique permits accurate
reconstruction of cone beam projections with over ten times the area of current multi-ring
scanners.

Abstract: An evolutionary algorithm is used to effect a directed trial and error search of alternative advertisement characteristics. An initial population of sample advertisements is provided, and the characteristics of each advertisement is encoded as a set of genes associated with each member of the population. The effectiveness of each member is assessed, using for example the number of times an Internet user clicks on each advertisement. The members of the population generate plurality of offspring ads that inherit characteristics from their parents. The members of the population that exhibit more effectiveness than others are preferentially selected for offspring generation. By continued preferential selection of parents having more effectiveness than other, the likehood of generating offspring that have a higher degree of effectiveness increases. The propagation of particular characteristics or combinations of characteristics in this evolutionary process provides an indication and verification of those ad characteristics that produce effective results.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé pour préparer des membranes de mélange de polybenzimidazole ou de polybenzimidazole et pour fabriquer des électrodes de diffusion de gaz et des ensemble d'électrodes membranes, pour une pile à combustible à membrane électrolytique en polymère. De nouvelles membranes électrolytiques en mélanges de polymères à base de PBI et de divers polymères thermoplastiques ont également été mises au points pour des piles à combustible à membrane électrolytique. Des mélanges miscibles sont utilisés pour couler des membranes de polymères (électrolytes solides). Ces électrolytes solides de mélanges de polymères présentent une conductivité élevée et une résistance mécanique supérieure. Avec le polymère résistant à la chaleur, par exemple, du polybenzimidazole ou un mélange de polybenzimidazole et d'autres thermoplastiques comme liant, le catalyseur de métal noble à base de carbone est coulé en bande sur un substrat de support hydrophobe. Une fois dopées avec un mélange acide, les électrodes sont assemblées avec une membrane d'électrolyte solide dopée à l'acide par pressage à chaud. Cette pile peut fonctionner à des températures pouvant atteindre 200 °C avec un combustible riche en hydrogène et présentant des teneurs en monoxyde de carbone, comme 3 % ou plus en volume de monoxyde de carbone, ce qui est élevé par rapport à la tolérance au monoxyde de carbone de 10 à 20 ppm que présentent les piles à combustibles à électrolyte de polymère à base de Nafion ®.

Abstract: A non-invasive tool for skin disease diagnosis would be a useful clinical adjunct. The purpose of this study was to determine whether visible/near-infrared spectroscopy can be used to non-invasively characterize skin diseases. In-vivo visible- and near-infrared spectra (400-2500 nm) of skin neoplasms (actinic keratoses, basal cell carcinomata, banal common acquired melanocytic nevi, dysplastic melanocytic nevi, actinic lentigines and seborrheic keratoses) were collected by placing a fiber optic probe on the skin. Paired t-tests, repeated measures analysis of variance and linear discriminant analysis were used to determine whether significant spectral differences existed and whether spectra could be classified according to lesion type. Paired t-tests showed significant differences (p<0.05) between normal skin and skin lesions in several areas of the visible/near-infrared spectrum. In addition, significant differences were found between the lesion groups by analysis of variance. Linear discriminant analysis classified spectra from benign lesions compared to pre-malignant or malignant lesions with high accuracy. Visible/near-infrared spectroscopy is a promising non-invasive technique for the screening of skin diseases.
