20130135305 | IN-PLANE AND INTERACTIVE SURFACE MESH ADAPTATION - Interactive mesh deformation for in-plane 3D segmentation/delineation for radiation therapy planning done on a slice by slice basis of a region/a volume of interest (VOI, ROI). Segmentation starts by some automatic 3D algorithm approximating the organ surface roughly by some triangular surface mesh which mesh is afterwards manually refined by the user who deforms it to bring it closer to the region of interest. The deformation is an invertible, i.e. one-to-one, mapping avoiding self-intersections of the deformed mesh thereby preserving the topology of the anatomy. The deformation mapping involves a Gaussian function (Gaussian deformation kernel) restricting the deformation to a local region. The user picks with the pointer a start point on a selected image slice through the volume and moves it to some end point. The distance the mesh vertices move decreases exponentially with the distance to the start point. Additionally, surface mesh resolution is increased by iteratively subdividing mesh triangles in the vicinity of a user-selected contour in a surface mesh until every pixel or voxel contains at least one triangle vertex. | 05-30-2013 |
20140144124 | Gas Turbine Anti-Icing System - Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards a system that includes a recirculation system. The recirculation system includes a compressor discharge air line extending from a compressor to an air intake. The compressor discharge air line is configured to flow a compressor discharge air flow, and the air intake is configured to supply an air flow to the compressor. An ejector is disposed along the compressor discharge air line between the compressor and the air intake. The ejector is configured to receive and mix the compressor discharge air flow and a turbine exhaust flow to form a first mixture. | 05-29-2014 |
20140294566 | TURBOMACHINE INLET BLEED HEATING ASSEMBLY - In a turbomachine having an inlet, a compressor, and a turbine, a closed loop sends fluid from a stage of the compressor to a heat exchanger in the turbine and to the inlet. The closed loop heats the fluid, cools the turbine, and delivers heated fluid to the inlet. A mixer can be interposed between the heat exchanger and the inlet to mix fluid from the heat exchanger with compressor discharge fluid, delivering the mixed fluid to the inlet. The mixer can control flow received so that desired temperature and/or flow rate can be provided to the inlet. | 10-02-2014 |

20150141733 | AUTOMATIC PLAN OPTIMIZATION FOR CHANGING PATIENT ANATOMY IN THE PRESENCE OF MAPPED DELIVERED DOSE FROM DELIVERED FRACTIONS - A therapy planning system and method generate an optimal treatment plan accounting for changes in anatomy. Therapy is delivered to the subject according to a first auto-planned optimal treatment plan based on a first image of a subject. A second image of the subject is received after a period of time. The second image is registered with the first image to generate a deformation map accounting for physiological changes. The second image is segmented into regions of interest using the deformation map. A mapped delivered dose is computed for each region of interest using the dose delivery goals and the deformation map. The first treatment plan is merged with the segmented regions of the second image and the mapped delivered dose during optimization. | 05-21-2015 |

20150347278 | IDENTIFYING TEST GAPS USING CODE EXECUTION PATHS - Systems and techniques are described for identifying test gaps. A described technique includes identifying production code paths for an application. Each production code path specifies a respective sequence of code of the application that was executed in a production environment. Test code paths are identified for the application. Each test code path specifies a respective sequence of code of the application that was tested in a test environment. The production code paths are compared to the test code paths to identify a set of first test gaps for the application. Each first test gap specifies a respective production code path that is not included in the test code paths. Test gap data specifying the first test gaps for the application can be provided for presentation to a user. | 12-03-2015 |
