20130122297 | MOLECULAR GAUGE BLOCKS FOR BUILDING ON THE NANOSCALE - Disclosed herein is a way to produce a series of discrete sized slender, rigid oligoparaxylene molecules ranging from 1-5 nm in length. Molecules, based on 1-7, 9-11 paraxylene rings, have been synthesized as part of a homologous series of oligoparaxylenes (OPXs) with a view to providing a molecular tool box for the construction of nano architectures—such as spheres, cages, capsules, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), metal-organic polyhedrons (MOPs) and covalent-organic frameworks (COFs), to name but a few—of well-defined sizes and shapes. Twisting between the planes of contiguous paraxylene rings is generated by the steric hindrance associated with the methyl groups and leads to the existence of soluble molecular gauge blocks without the need—at least in the case of the lower homologues—to introduce long aliphatic side chains onto the phenylene rings in the molecules. | 05-16-2013 |

This equipment consists of adequately modifying the trajectory of an electron beam from a linear accelerator (LINAC) by applying magnetic and/or electric fields. These electrons perpendicularly impact the surface of a curved material that has a particular curvature ratio (anode), thus generating X-rays. The interaction of the electrons with the atoms of the anode's material generate X-rays with a non-isotropic angular-spatial distribution, with a greater concentration in the focal direction, which is defined by the geometry of the anode. A curved collimator with an adequate curvature ratio is attached to the back of the anode. The collimator is made up of an array of a great number of small holes that point toward the focal point. This device transmits X-rays solely in the focal direction. The Summary Figure presents a typical configuration of the invention that has been presented. | 04-24-2014 |

20100040919 | Fuel cell hydrocarbon reformer having rapid transient response and convective cooling - A catalytic hydrocarbon reformer comprising a catalyst concentrically disposed within a reformer tube surrounded by an annular flow space for air entering a fuel-air mixing zone ahead of the catalyst. The catalyst is sustained by minimal insulative mounting material so that most of the side of the catalyst is exposed for radial radiative heat transfer to the reformer tube for cooling by air in the annular flow space. The forward portion of the mounting material preferably is formed of a thermally-conductive material to provide radial conductive cooling of the entry of the catalyst to prevent overheating during catalysis. The incoming air flow is protected from heat exchange with hot reformate exiting the catalyst, allowing for convective cooling of the catalyst side and greater cooling of the catalyst face, thus increasing the working life of the catalyst while providing for rapid startup of the reformer and associated fuel cell system. | 02-18-2010 |

20100145193 | PHASE-FREE CARDIAC ROADMAPPING - According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a cardiac roadmapping technique is provided, that does not rely on the prerequisite of a phase-centric pairing of the angiogram and life images. Instead, both the pairing and accurate registration of the images are combined within a single operation, for example by using a multi-device map. This may provide for robust and precise cardiac roadmapping. | 06-10-2010 |
20120093379 | DETECTING AND DARKENING METHOD OF OBJECTS IN GREY-ACALE RASTER IMAGES - Wire tips and balloon/stent markers are the main landmarks used by cardiologists for navigation and precise stent placement under X-Ray fluoroscopy surveillance. These intra-coronary devices are semi radio-opaque. In some situations, their visibility can be extremely low. The claimed may help the cardiologists by detecting the objects and darkening them on the live X-Ray image to increase their visibility. The darkening processing takes into account the image properties around the objects or detection information in order to obtain a better contrast enhancement. This technique also avoids the introduction of disturbing artefacts when the object detection fails. | 04-19-2012 |

20140184747 | Visually-Assisted Stereo Acquisition from a Single Camera - A method is disclosed of indicating a suitable pose for a camera for obtaining a stereoscopic image, with the camera comprising an imaging sensor. The method comprises obtaining and storing a first image of a scene using the imaging sensor when the camera is in a first pose; moving the camera to a second pose; and obtaining a second image of the scene when the camera is in the second pose. One or more disparity vectors are determined, each disparity vector being determined between a feature identified within the first image and a corresponding feature identified in the second image. On the basis of the one or more disparity vectors, a determination is made of whether the second image of the scene is suitable for use, together with the first image, as a stereoscopic image pair. | 07-03-2014 |
