Title: Diagnostic image processing apparatus, assessment assistance method, and program
Inventor: OKA HIROYUKI
IPC: A61B6/00
Filed: 2018-03-27
Abstract: This diagnostic image processing apparatus receives an input of an X-ray image of a hand or a foot, detects, in the X-ray image, the imaging range of the left hand, the right hand, the left foot, or the right foot, and extracts, at least for each joint located in the detected imaging range and used for assessment by using an assessment method selected from either van der Heijde method or Genant method, portions of relatively high luminance from the opposing ends of a pair of bones located across each of the joints. Then, the diagnostic image processing apparatus generates and outputs information about a distance and an area between the extracted high luminance parts as diagnosis information for each joint used for the assessment carried out by the selected assessment method.
Patent EP-3685113-A1 (EP)
Inventor: PRAKASH ANUPAM
IPC: F28F27/00
Filed: 2018-09-13
Abstract: A method of controlling cooling water treatment at a cooling tower may involve measuring operating data of one or more downstream heat exchangers that receive cooling water from the cooling tower. For example, the inlet and outlet temperatures of both the hot and cold streams of a downstream heat exchanger may be measured, optionally along with a flow rate of the cooling water stream passing through the heat exchanger. Data from the streams passing through the heat exchanger may be used to determine a heat transfer efficiency for the heat exchanger. The heat transfer efficiency can be trended over a period of time and changes in the trend detected to identify cooling water fouling issues. A chemical additive selected to reduce, eliminate, or otherwise control the cooling water fouling can be controlled based on the changes in heat transfer efficiency detected at the downstream heat exchanger.

IPC: A61K31/56
Filed: 2018-10-09
Abstract: In the present invention, inventors study in fibrotic ILD/IPF mechanism, the role of Arp2/3 multiprotein complex which regulates the branched polymerization of the actin cytoskeleton, and may play key roles in mechanotranduction. Inventors demonstrated that the expression of the Arp2/3 complex is increased in IPF lung mesenchymal cells and in mouse lungs during fibrogenesis, and that the inhibition of Arp2/3 complex with the small molecule CK666 blocks collagen expression in the lungs and prevents the development of bleomycin- induced lung fibrosis in mice. Accordingly the present invention relates to an inhibitor of Arp2/3 complex activity or expression for use in a method for treating Fibrotic interstitial lung diseases (ILD) such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis in a subject in need thereof.

Title: Lifting body vtol aircraft
Inventor: MUELLER JOHN
IPC: B64C29/00
Filed: 2018-10-02
Abstract: A VTOL aircraft (10) has a substantially delta-shaped lifting body fuselage (12) with airfoils (14, 16, 18) disposed along all three sides (20, 22, 24). In vertical flight mode the airfoils (14, 16, 18) act as exhaust diverters. A flow of exhaust gas flows from a centrally located vertical flight gas diffuser (28) over the top surface of the lifting body fuselage (12) and then is directed downward by the airfoils (14, 16, 18) to provide vertical lift. In vertical flight mode, the entirety of the exhaust from the engine (44) is diverted to the vertical flight gas diffuser (28) by means of a transition duct (48) that diverts the flow of gas through a 90° upward bend into the vertical flight gas diffuser (28). In horizontal flight mode the transition duct (48) is fully retracted to permit the entirety of the engine thrust to be directed rearward to propel the aircraft (10) in a horizontal flight mode.
