20080226018 | CONTRAST-ENHANCED CONE BEAM X-RAY IMAGING, EVALUATION, MONITORING AND TREATMENT DELIVERY - A method of imaging a patient's uncompressed region of interest using X-ray cone beam computed tomography or cone beam digital tomography comprises the step of introducing an effective amount of a contrast agent to the uncompressed region of interest. A system for imaging a patient's uncompressed region of interest using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) or cone beam digital tomography (CBDT) comprises an X-ray source transmitting an X-ray to the uncompressed region of interest, an image acquisition system acquiring a plurality of two-dimensional projection images data for a CBCT or CBDT data set with at least one of the projection images acquired in 35 milliseconds or less, and a processor generating a three-dimensional computed tomography image data set resolving voxels with dimensions of 0.4 mm or less in at least two orthogonal directions. | 09-18-2008 |
20080317202 | System and Method for Imaging and Treatment of Tumorous Tissue in Breasts Using Computed Tomography and Radiotherapy - The present invention provides a system | 12-25-2008 |
20090129550 | FILAMENT ASSEMBLY HAVING REDUCED ELECTRON BEAM TIME CONSTANT - A filament assembly for use in an x-ray emitting device or other filament-containing device is disclosed. In one embodiment, an x-ray tube is disclosed, including a vacuum enclosure that houses both an anode having a target surface, and a cathode positioned with respect to the anode. The cathode includes a filament assembly for emitting a beam of electrons during tube operation. The filament assembly comprises a heat sink and a plurality of filament segments. The filament segments are configured for simultaneous emission of an electron beam for impingement on the target surface of the anode, and are electrically connected in series. Each filament segment includes first and second end portions that are thermally connected to the heat sink, and a central portion that can be configured with a modified work function for preferential electron emission. | 05-21-2009 |
20100098214 | Methods and Systems for Treating Breast Cancer Using External Beam Radiation - A radiation apparatus includes a radiation source movable in translational and/or rotational degrees of freedom, and a structure adapted to support a body. The structure is provided with an opening to allow a portion of the body passing through to be exposed to at least a portion of the therapeutic radiation while in use. | 04-22-2010 |
20100102244 | Methods and Systems for Treating Cancer Using External Beam Radiation - A radiation system employs magnetic field to move particle beams and radiation sources. The radiation system includes a source operable to produce a particle beam, a scanning magnet operable to scan the particle beam, and a target configured to be impinged by at least a portion of the scanned particle beam to produce radiation. | 04-29-2010 |
20100128839 | Structure and Procedure for X-Ray CT Guided Cancer Treatment - A radiation apparatus includes a first radiation source configured to generate radiation suitable for therapeutic treatment, and a structure for supporting a body. The structure comprises a curved surface adapted to receive a body portion to be treated during a therapeutic treatment. | 05-27-2010 |

20110051898 | ELECTRON EMITTER AND METHOD OF MAKING SAME - One example embodiment includes an electron emitter. The electron emitter comprises a conductive member that defines a plurality of filament segments that are integral with each other. Each filament segment includes an intermediate portion and an interconnecting portion attached to an adjacent filament segment. The intermediate portions are substantially coplanar with each other and each intermediate portion includes a substantially planar electron emission surface. | 03-03-2011 |
20120217231 | ELECTRON EMITTER AND METHOD OF MAKING SAME - One example embodiment includes methods for making electron emitters. The electron emitter comprises a conductive member that defines a plurality of filament segments that are integral with each other. Each filament segment includes an intermediate portion and an interconnecting portion attached to an adjacent filament segment. The intermediate portions are substantially coplanar with each other and each intermediate portion includes a substantially planar electron emission surface. | 08-30-2012 |

20130020796 | One-Piece Roof Flashing - An integral one-piece roof flashing for preventing moisture from passing between a vent pipe and a roof. The flashing, preferably of plastic, includes a base having an aperture and a laterally-extending planar flange with a raised center portion. An upstanding outer sleeve is joined to the center portion by a flexible corrugated portion of the flashing. A downwardly-depending inner sleeve has a top end joined to the distal end of the outer sleeve, extends into the outer sleeve, and is adapted for receipt into the top end of the vent pipe. The corrugated portion flexes to allow the outer sleeve to be angled up and down the pitch direction of the roof, side to side, and to extend to accommodate different roof pitch angles and vent pipe heights. A scale on the base allows the vent pipe height to be measured to ensure that it is within acceptable limits. | 01-24-2013 |

20110004657 | Method, Apparatus And Computer Program Product For Processing Responses To A Web Page - The disclosed web server and methodology processes responses to a web page. The web page is at least partially generated from one or more widgets and each widget denotes how an element of the web page is to be displayed at a client. The web server receives a response to the web page from the client. From the receives response, the server identifies a widget that was used by the server to generate an element of the web page that was provided to the client. In response to this identification, the server then executes action processing logic associated with the particular widget that was used by the server to generate an element of the web page. The action processing logic for the widget uses data received in the response and performs an action with respect to that data. | 01-06-2011 |
20130055066 | PROCESSING RESPONSES TO A WEB PAGE - Web server methodology processes responses to a web page, wherein the web page is at least partially generated from one or more widgets and each widget denotes how an element of the web page is to be displayed at a client. The web server receives a response to the web page from the client. From the received response, the server identifies a widget that was used by the server to generate an element of the web page that was provided to the client. In response to this identification, the server then executes action processing logic associated with the particular widget that was used by the server to generate an element of the web page.
