20110288361 | REAL TIME RADIATION TREATMENT PLANNING SYSTEM - The invention relates to a real time radiation treatment planning system for use in effecting radiation therapy of a pre-selected anatomical portion of an animal body using hollow needles. According to embodiments of the invention, the system may include a processing means processing means-configured to perform a three-dimensional imaging algorithm and a three-dimensional image segmentation algorithm, with respect to one or more specific organs within the pre-selected anatomical portion and with respect to the needles, for converting the image data obtained with an imaging means into a three-dimensional image of the anatomical portion, using at least one single or multi-objective anatomy-based genetic optimization algorithm. For pre-planning or virtual simulation purposes, the processing means is arranged to determine in real time the optimal number and position of at least one of the needles, positions of energy emitting sources within the needles, and the dwell times of the energy emitting sources at the positions. For post-planning purposes, the processing means is arranged to determine, based on three-dimensional image information, in real time the real needle positions and the dwell times of the energy emitting sources for the positions. | 11-24-2011 |

20100035375 | MASKLESS NANOFABRICATION OF ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS - The present invention relates to systems, materials and methods for the formation of conducting, semiconducting, and dielectric layers, structures and devices from suspensions of nanoparticles. Drop-on-demand systems are used in some embodiments to fabricate various electronic structures including conductors, capacitors, FETs. Selective laser ablation is used in some embodiments to pattern more precisely the circuit elements and to form small channel devices. | 02-11-2010 |
20110233472 | POROUS CERAMIC CATALYSTS AND METHODS FOR THEIR PRODUCTION AND USE - A method of producing a rigid catalytically active porous ceramic is disclosed. Catalyst particles comprising a catalytically active material or a precursor thereof are mixed with a chemical additive, a ceramic binder, a carrier liquid and, optionally, substantially inert carrier particles to obtain a slurry having a gel-or paste-like consistency. The slurry may be transported to a substrate, e.g., by printing, or to a reactor cavity by a suitable flow method. The slurry is then heated to substantially evaporate said carrier liquid to obtain a rigid, catalytically active porous ceramic in situ. A catalyst obtainable by such a method and the use of such a catalyst are also disclosed. | 09-29-2011 |
