Abstract: Ultimate Consumer Rating Products/Services Website A User friendly website that allows a User to search for products and services by logic/classification - eg. industry (or types of stores found, such as furniture stores, avant garde fashion stores...) luxury or common goods, Or need satisfied and substitutes that satisfy the same appetite.     We could sort competing products/services by cost/quality/features - and their appeal to which kind of person e. businessperson versus parenting role (effectiveness/performance metrics) as criteria that that satisfy the same sub need that satisfy the same product (system) features that the consumer utilizes that address specific product functionality/capability, these can be accessed by new features or long time existing.     This invention will be the first to do the above that is not a one time article/study (in a magazine) but comprehensive and searchable/impartial - professional critiques (unlike specific product home website or amateur commentaries) among competing products/updated in continuity (always available) real time or daily or at least as the products in that niche change or new information becomes available (maybe a searchable among the attributes above also on when new information is available on the products/services or new versions that address the same niche). And anticipate what products/services are hot buying markets and what supply products/services are good buys and when the specific features/qualities that consumers value most - and the additional cost -whether standard or uncommon.     We may issue highlights for hottest (trendiest) products/markets/industries/substitute products, the best buys... in our own magazine(s) as part of our business model.

Abstract: An insulation resistance degradation detector (50) comprises a pulse generator (60) for applying a pulse signal (65) to a series circuit where a detecting resistor (70), a coupling capacitor (80), and an insulation resistor (Ri) are connected in series. A control circuit (110) detects a pulse divided voltage induced at a node (N1) through a bandpass filter (90) by means of a voltage detecting circuit (100) while the pulse signal (65) is applied to the series circuit so as to detect degradation of the insulation resistor (Ri). The control circuit (110) further detects a failure of the insulation resistance degradation detector itself when the voltage detected by the voltage detecting circuit (100) is kept above a predetermined voltage over a plurality of periods of the pulse signal (65). With this, an insulation resistance degradation detector having a failure self-diagnosis function is realized through a simple constitution.

Abstract: Method for processing digital images, preferably magnetic resonance images of a brain. The images contain a first object, for example the cerebrum white matter, a second object, for example the cerebral cortex, and a third object, for example the cerebrospinal fluid. The method involves providing a digital dataset representing a deformable curve or surface that in an initial state approximates the boundary between the first object and the second object. Further, a vector force field is provided that for each point on the deformable curve or surface defines a direction from the point approximately towards the second boundary between the second and the third object, and this vector force field is applied for iteratively deforming the deformable curve or surface convergently towards the second boundary. In order to reconstruct a folded structure of the second object, for example the cortex, the vector force field also involves a normal vector field with a vector normal or approximately normal to the deformable curve or surface for each point on the deformable curve or surface. <IMAGE>
