Filed: 2008-09-25
Abstract: A method of detecting and indicating a presence of alternating current (AC) series arc fault events in current supplied by an AC electrical power source (4) to an electrical load (6) for the power source comprises the steps of: measuring (14) positive and negative current through the load over a first sample cycle of the AC power to establish first measured positive and first measured negative current levels; determining (10) the absolute value of the first measured positive and first measured negative current levels to establish a first absolute positive current level and a first absolute negative current level; adding the first absolute positive current level and the first absolute negative current level to establish a first sum current level; measuring positive and negative current through the load over a second sample cycle staggered from the first sample cycle to establish second measured positive and second measured negative current levels; determining the absolute value of the second measured positive and second measured negative current levels to establish a second absolute positive current level and a second absolute negative current level; adding the second absolute positive current level and the second absolute negative current level to establish a second sum current level; subtracting the second sum current level from the first sum current level to establish a current difference level; and indicating (20) a series arc fault event if the current difference level exceeds a predetermined threshold level.

Inventor: RUIJTERS DANIEL S A
IPC: G06T15/00
Filed: 2008-07-31
Abstract: The present invention describes a method for rendering and displaying a curved planar reformat (CPR) view (7') of a blood vessel's 3D tubular structure (1), wherein the viewing direction of the curved planar reformat view (7') is coupled to the viewing angle on a segmented or raw representation of the 3D tubular structure's ren- dered voxel volume to be visualized or, alternatively, to the C-arm geometry of a 3D rotational angiography device's C-arm system (6). The proposed method thus enables measurements on the X-ray image which do not suffer from spatial foreshortening and do not need to be calibrated. Thereby, said coupling can be performed bidirectional. According to a first aspect of the proposed method, this means that the viewing direction of the aforementioned curved planar reformat view (7') follows the viewing angle on a segmented or raw representation of the 3D tubular structure's rendered voxel volume to be visualized, or vice versa. According to another aspect of the proposed method, this means that the viewing direction of the curved planar reformat view (7') is set depending on the C-arm geometry given by the roll (ϑx ), pitch (ϑ y ) and yaw angle (ϑz ) of a 3D rotational angiography device's C-arm system (6), or vice versa.
