Patent EP-0860144-A2 (EP)
Inventor: BARNI JOHN J
IPC: G06T11/00
Filed: 1998-02-12
Abstract: A radiation source which generates a radiation cone-beam  (14)  and a two-dimensional
radiation detector are spiralled continuously around and longitudinally relative to an
imaging volume. Image data from the two-dimensional display is reconstructed  (30 1 ,
30 2 , ... 30 n )  into a volumetric, physiological image stored in a subject memory  (32) .
During an interventional surgical procedure with a surgical instrument  (42) , the x-ray
source may be gated to operate intermittently, e.g., at 60° angular intervals, at a
reduced radiation intensity by an x-ray tube control  (40) . The additional data can be
reconstructed into a three-dimensional image representation of the surgical instrument
and stored in an instrument memory  (34) . An operator image selection processor  (60) 
may be provided to cause data retrieval circuits  (62a, 62b)  to retrieve like slices or
other image representations from the subject and instrument memories. The retrieved
data may be combined  (64)  such that a resultant human-readable display  (68)  shows the
instrument superimposed on the anatomical image. The surgical instrument volumetric
image may be continuously updated such that the display represents a real time display
of the surgical instrument illustrating its advancement through the imaging region.

system are arranged on the transparent protective layer side of
the photomagnetic recording medium when the photomagnetic
recording medium is used with the apparatus and such that a
combined distance equal to the thickness HCO and a distance d
between a surface of the magnetic coil and an adjacent surface of
the photomagnetic recording medium has a value of 0 µm ≤ d ≤ 145
µm. The thickness HCO of the transparent protective layer may
have a value of 0 µm ≤ HCO ≤ 100 µm, and the distance d may have
a value not larger than 45 µm. Additionally, an innermost radius
Ri of the magnetic coil may have a value of 290 µm or less.

Abstract: An imaging circuit generates a first video signal
with a first exposure interval and a second video signal
with a second exposure interval substantially at the same
time, the second exposure interval being shorter than the
first exposure interval, the first and second video signals
respectively having first and second dynamic ranges which
are different but continuos. The first video signal is
synchronized with the second video signal. An exposure
ratio between the first and second exposure intervals is
detected. A gain of the second video signal is adjusted
according to the exposure ratio. A combined video signal
is generated from the first and second video signals
according to a mixing control signal indicative of a mixing
ratio between first and second video signals and levels of
the first and second video signals to have an expanded
dynamic range such that the first dynamic range is
connected to the second dynamic range with difference in
gains of the first and second video signals adjusted for
linearity. An edge enhancement signal may be
gain-controlled or coring-controlled according to the
mixing control signal or the exposure ratio. The similar
apparatus and method for color signals are also disclosed.
The output dynamic range for a display is limited by a
non-linear process.

Abstract: The roller bearing, for a roller with a controlled bending action, has at least one force unit directly next to each roller bearing (4) and to one side of it, seen axially. The resulting force runs radially and in the roller working plane, to bear on the roller body on one side, and on the roller pedestal (3) or its fitted units on the other side. The roller is hollow with a non-rotating core, supported at both ends. The rotating hollow roller is supported by roller bearings at both ends. A support is within the hollow roller, between the end roller bearings, supported by the core on one side, and against the inner surface of the hollow roller on the other side, to apply the roller linear force. Or the roller (10) is conventional with a cylindrical roller body, with concentric journals (2) at the ends. The roller bearings (4.4') rotate in the bearing pedestal (3). The force unit has a hydraulic operation, with at least one hydrostatic unit (20) acting radially against the inner circumference of the hollow roller or the rotating cylinder surface (6) of the roller (10). The hydrostatic support (20) is at the inner periphery of a ring housing round the roller journal (2) fitted to the bearing pedestal (3). The force can be applied by a pair of supports (20) of equal strength, deployed symmetrically to the roller working plane. The force units generate a force towards the roller linear force.

Abstract: A belt (15) for a
continuously variable transmission is formed by supporting a large number
of metal elements (32) on a metal ring assembly (31,31) wherein multiple sheets of
endless metal rings are layered.
The durability of the entire metal ring assembly (31) is enhanced by
increasing the wear life of the radially inner surface of the metal ring
of the innermost layer (33 1 ) which is the layer which is most
easily fractured.
The thickness of the metal ring (33 1 ) of the
innermost layer is different from the thickness of the metal rings of layers
other than the innermost layer. The thickness of the metal ring of the
innermost layer is set so that the stress amplitude applied to the radially
outer surface of the metal ring of the innermost layer is not more than the
stress amplitude applied to the radially outer surfaces of the metal rings of
layers other than the innermost layer. By setting the thickness of the metal
ring of the innermost layer at 0.042 mm to 0.161 mm when the thickness of
the metal rings of layers other than the innermost layer is 0.185 mm, the
stress amplitude σa 1  applied to the metal ring of the innermost layer
becomes lower than the stress amplitude σa n  of 25.65 kgf / mm 2  applied to
the other metal rings. Thus the durability of the metal ring of the innermost
layer can be enhanced to increase the life span of the entire metal ring
assembly.

Abstract: A method of garbage collection and data processing apparatus embodying the same. Within a heap memory, data objects (DO) are accessed via respective pointers carried by memory stacks; the memory is periodically swept (100) to mark, for each object, a count of the number of extant pointers thereto from any source and, on detection that an object's count has reached zero, deleting that object. To permit concurrency of mark and sweep operations, a pair of reference count fields (RC1, RC2) are maintained for each object: one holds an ongoing pointer count (RCB) for the present mark operation and the other holds the value (RCA) for the preceding one. At the conclusion of each mark operation, the mapping of counts into fields is reversed (104, 106). An objects count is taken as zero, and the object deleted, when both counts are zero.
