Abstract: A method and system for the automated detection of lesions such as masses and/or tissue (parenchymal) distortions in medical images such as mammograms. Dense regions and subcutaneous fat regions within a mammogram are segmented. A background correction may be performed within the dense regions. Hough spectrum within ROIs placed in the breast region of a mammogram are calculated and thresholded using the intensity value  eta  in order to increase sensitivity and reduce the number of false-positive detections. Lesions are detected based on the thresholded Hough spectra. The thresholded Hough spectra are also used to differentiate between benign and malignant masses.

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/NL96/00167 Sec. 371 Date Jan. 8, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date Jan. 8, 1998 PCT Filed Apr. 18, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO96/33952 PCT Pub. Date Oct. 31, 1996The invention provides for the treatment of raw water having a pH of 2.5 to 9, an alkalinity of at most 50 mg/l expressed as calcium carbonate, a calcium content of at most 100 mg/l expressed as calcium carbonate, and a positive calcium carbonate dissolution potential. The process comprises separating part of the water from the remainder thereof and acidifying the part to increase its calcium carbonate dissolution potential. The acidified water is then fed through a bed of particles comprising calcium carbonate where the water consumes part of the calcium carbonate thereby increasing the calcium content and the alkalinity of the water which issues from the bed. The water issuing from the bed is then mixed with the remainder of the raw water to obtain an at least partially treated product water having a positive calcium carbonate dissolution potential which is at least 2 mg/l calcium carbonate less than that of the raw water.

Abstract: A prothesis (18, 108, 120) for transluminal implantation consists of a flexible tubular three-dimensionally braided structure of metal or polymeric monofilaments (32, 110, 126), and polymeric multifilament yarns (42). The prosthesis can be elastically deformed to reduce its diameter through axial elongation. The monofilaments and multifilament yarns are arranged in axially spaced apart helices, concentric on a common central axis of the prosthesis. The monofilaments are selectively shaped before their interbraiding with the multifilament yarns, either by an age-hardening or other heat-setting stage, or a cold-working stage that controllably plastically deforms the strands. The shaped structural strands cooperate to impart to the prosthesis its nominal shape and resilience. The textile strands cooperate to provide one or more layers of sheeting (40) that reduce permeability and thereby enhance the utility of the prosthesis as a vascular graft. An alternative embodiment prosthesis (132) includes elastically and plastically deformable structural strands (140), selectively plastically deformed by cold working, then three-dimensionally braided to form the prosthesis. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Materials can be assayed for activity as an inhibitor of post-translational protein phosphorylation by adding the material to a growing culture of a prokaryotic organism such as a streptomycete; allowing the culture to grow for a period of time in the presence of the material; and observing the culture for altered development relative to development of the prokaryotic organism grown in the absence of the material. Observation of altered development is indicative that the material has activity as an inhibitor of post-translational protein phosphorylation. In particular, the material to be tested can be added to a growing culture of the prokaryotic organism by placing a carrier disk bearing the material on a freshly seeded plate. Inhibition of the development of aerial mycelia and spore formation is an indicator that the material has activity as an inhibitor of post-translational protein phosphorylation.

Abstract: A plasma processing chamber includes a substrate holder and a dielectric member such as a dielectric window or gas distribution plate having an interior surface facing the substrate holder, the interior surface being maintained below a threshold temperature to minimize process drift during processing of substrates. The chamber can include an antenna which inductively couples RF energy through the dielectric member to energize process gas into a plasma state. The antenna can include a channel through which a temperature controlling fluid, which has been cooled by a closed circuit temperature controller, is passed. The control of the temperature of the interior surface minimizes process drift and degradation of the quality of the processed substrates during sequential batch processing of substrates such as during oxide etching of semiconductor wafers.

Abstract: A silicon-germanium hetero bipolar transistor comprising a silicon collector layer, a boron-doped silicon-germanium base layer, a silicon emitter layer and an emitter contact area. The transistor is fabricated using an epitaxy process on a surface of pure silicon. An electrically inert material is incorporated into the epitaxial layers in order to link the defects in the semiconductor structure and to reduce the outdiffusion of the dopant. Thus, a transistor for high-frequency applications can be fabricated in two ways: to increase the dopant dose of the base region or to reduce the thickness of the base layer. In particular, the concentration profile of germanium in the base layer has a general shape of a triangle or trapezoid.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for treating a surface (2) of a semiconductor (1B) and a corresponding treating device. The surface is made by first molecules of the semiconductor having external bonds saturated with hydrogen. The method consists in sending a beam (30)of ions highly charged and with low energy towards the surface, and applying thereto a deceleration voltage U2 in the proximity of the surface. In this way, the ions extract without making contact the electrons of the first molecules, releasing the hydrogen atoms saturating the corresponding external bonds. Then a product saturating the pendant external bonds is sent so as to form second molecules of an insulating compound. The invention is useful for surface cleaning, etching and nano-manufacturing.

Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus and method for encoding, storing, transmitting and decoding multimedia information in the form of scalable, streamed digital data. A base stream containing basic informational content and subsequent streams containing additive informational content are initially created from standard digital multimedia data by a transcoder. Client computers, each of which may have different configurations and capabilities are capable of accessing a stream server that contains the scalable streamed digital data. Each different client computer, therefore, may access different stream combinations according to a profile associated with each different client computer. Thus, the streams accessed from the server are tailored to match the profile of each client computer so that the best combination of streams can be provided to maximize the resolution of the 3D, audio and video components.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for mechanically reshaping and/or forming textured features in the side wall of metal can bodies in which a can body is mounted on a profiled mandrel and rolled along a second mandrel or rail, which is also profiled. The tools are made from hard material but the second mandrel or rail is resiliently mounted. This mounting has been found to facilitate control of the depth of the profiled features formed in the can body. In particular, the problem of depth variability which will arise due to expansion of the machine and tooling in normal running conditions, or variability in thicknesses in the can body is avoided. Typically, the can body is clamped between complementary unformed regions on the tools during forming so as to prevent wrinkling or localised thinning of the can side wall.
