Abstract: An interactive virtual endoscopy system 10 includes a CT scanner 12 or other non-invasive examination apparatus which examines an interior region of a subject 14 in an examination region 16 and generates data indicative thereof. The data is stored in a volume image data memory 20. Using a sequence generating computer 22, a human operator 24 generates a sequence of sphere-mappable panoramic views of selected portions of the CT data along a viewpath in the patient 14. The sequence generating computer includes a view renderer 182 for rendering a plurality of views which in total cover the entire visual space about a viewpoint on the viewpath within the subject. A view compositor combines the plurality of views into a full image covering the entire visual space about the viewpoint. The sequence is transferred to a server which processes the data and makes it available for remote access. Over a local area network (LAN), the data is selectively transferred, based on the commands of a remote human viewer, to a remote viewing computer 34. The data is decompressed and mapped into a spherical image for display on a remote display screen 36. Viewers of the sequence of spherical images have the liberty to turn at will and view in any direction from a particular viewpoint instead of being constrained to a look-forward path. In this way. viewers retain the sense of order and space which a look-forward series provides but with the added capability to investigate completely a space from any given viewpoint. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for assembling electroconductive parts by electric current heating. Said method is characterised in that it consists in moving forward electrodes (10, 20) with different polarities, towards the parts (30, 40) to be assembled, and in contacting said electrodes with at least one of the parts (30) to be assembled, current being applied to said electrodes (10, 20). Thus, the electroconductive parts (30, 40) are locally heated and assembled by the current flowing through them to pass from one electrode to the other. The invention also concerns a device for implementing said method and its use for assembling hollow parts, tubes or large dimension objects with sheet metal or other hollow parts.

Abstract: A method for creating an atmosphere in an area which adjoins an outwardly open, inner portion of a body of a human being or an animal, where the portion is uncovered and has direct contact with a surrounding atmosphere, the method including the steps of supplying a gas to the area, wherein the gas forms a main component in the atmosphere and includes a substantial amount of carbon dioxide. The gas is supplied to the area in a substantially laminar, substantially continuous flow and in such manner that the gas forces air away from the open portion and prevents air from penetrating the area of the open portion. The atmosphere prevents growth of microorganisms including bacteria and viruses in the area.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for automatic separation of foremilk and/or milk not suitable for consumption from the milk line system of a milking plant and an apparatus for carrying out said method. A separating device (44) is arranged at the ends of a milk line (52) and a test milk line (56), said milk lines being parallel. The separating device is designed with a damper means (48) attached to a cup (46). When milk is fed through the outlet (16), the cup (46) is filled up and its weight pivots the separating device from a first position, in which the inlet to a milk line (52) is closed by means of the damper mean, to a second position, in which the milk in cup is poured into a test milk line (56) and the damper means is lifted off the inlet (50|) to the milk line (52).

Abstract: A method and system for providing basic command functionality and expanded command functionality between a plurality of devices in a network. When a first device is coupled to a home audio video network which includes a second device, a generic control module for the first device is generated by the second device. The generic control module is a basic abstraction of the capabilities of the first device. The generic control module enables the first device to respond to a basic set of commands from the second device. The second device then uses the generic control module to obtain descriptive information from the first device. The descriptive information describes the capabilities of the first device. The second device then generates a parameterized control module for the first device by modifying the generic control module based upon the descriptive information. The second device is then able to access the first device via the parameterized control module. The parameterized control module enables the first device to respond to an expanded set of commands from the second device.

Abstract: An automated survey kiosk which is easy to install at a location, does not require access to standard telephone lines, can be easily reprogrammed, has unlimited language capabilities, which permits open-ended answers to inquiries or questions and whose survey responses can be sent directly to a client. The automated survey kiosk for administering a survey includes a touch screen for displaying the survey and for receiving survey responses, the touch screen being operatively connected to a general purpose computer for storing the survey, the general computer including a memory for storing the survey responses, operatively connected to the touch screen; and a wireless modem for transmitting the survey responses at a remote location at predetermined intervals. The automated survey kiosk is programmed to prompt a user for a desired language and then administer the survey in the chosen language. The automated survey kiosk may be remotely reprogrammed with new questions, by altering existing questions or by deleting existing questions, from the location of the research firm, even while a respondent is answering the survey. The survey responses may be transmitted to the research firm, or may be directly sent to the client, who must be equipped with the proper equipment to communicate with the automated survey kiosk. Accordingly, the client can have almost instantaneous access to the latest survey data, and can modify the survey during the survey period. The kiosk is also provided with a microphone in order to permit a respondent to record a verbal answer should the multiple choices offered not adequately described the respondent's answer.

Abstract: A variable inductor with a saturable core having three legs, including a center leg and two outer legs. A control winding is wound on the center leg and two outer windings are connected in parallel and wound on the outer legs. The inductances of the windings on the outer legs vary with the current through the control winding. The current through the control winding varies the saturation level of the outer legs. In one embodiment, the inductance of the control winding is substantially constant with a change in current in the control winding. In another embodiment, the outer legs are saturated and the center leg is not saturated. Portions of the core connecting the three legs are tapered down from the cross-section of the center leg to the cross-sections of the outer legs. The invention further includes methods of varying the inductance of an inductive circuit element in accordance with a control current.

Abstract: The present electrical connector assembly includes an outer shell capable of receiving at least one electrical contact module. The outer shell works in cooperation with an improved contact module retaining device which secures the electrical contact module within the shell. The combination of the outer shell with the contact module retaining device protects the critical elements of the retaining device from exterior environments, does not interfere with insertion of the module into the shell, and provides for a precise alignment of the module during and after insertion of the module into the shell. In particular, the outer shell is comprised of two half shells which are open during attachment of a contact module retaining device to each of the half shells. The two half shells are joined to form a connector housing after attachment of the module retaining device. The preferred module retaining device is a clip which is attached so that the main body of the clip is in contact with an interior surface of the half shell. The clip is precisely aligned within the half shell using snap fit contacts which hold the clip in position until the half shells are joined, after which the clips may be held in position by contact with the interior surface of the half shell alone.
