20090238338 | RADIOTHERAPEUTIC APPARATUS - A reference phantom includes CT-imageable detail together with light-reflective spheres. This item can be placed on a patient table in a known location, following which the diagnostic source can be activated to detect the phantom position relative to the isocentre and camera employed to detect the PSS position. A synthetic image of the phantom can be used for comparison with the CT dataset. This allows improved correlation of the source and the patient support, enable further steps to be taken in enhancing the clinical effectiveness of the apparatus. In-use variations of the isocentre location can be corrected in real time by adjustment of the patient support. Thus, as the isocentre moves, the patient can be moved so as to track the moving isocentre. The linac arm could also be designed differently, as the existing design constraint (that isocentre movement must be limited as far as possible) could potentially be relaxed in order to achieve other aims. | 09-24-2009 |
20100002836 | Imaging systems for ionising radiation - Flat panel images obtained during concurrent radiotherapy typically suffer from artefacts that relate to the pulses of MV energy. For a radiotherapeutic apparatus comprising a pulsed source of therapeutic radiation, a detector comprising control circuitry, an array of pixel elements, each having a signal output and an ‘enable’ input and being arranged to release a signal via the signal output upon being triggered by the enable input, and an interpreter arranged to receive the signal outputs of the pixel elements, the interpreter having a reset control, there are advantages in the control circuitry being adapted to reset the interpreter after a pulse of therapeutic radiation, prior to enabling at least one pixel of the array. Alternatively, the control circuitry can prompt a plurality of pulses by the pulsed source and then enable a plurality of pixels of the array. In effect, the therapeutic pulses are grouped into a short flurry of pulses. It is therefore preferred that the plurality of pixels comprises substantially all the pixels of the array. | 01-07-2010 |
20100104070 | Radiographic apparatus - For Respiration Correlated Cone Beam CT scanning, we have observed that improvements in the frame rate are in fact undesirable. We therefore propose a radiographic apparatus comprising a beam of radiation and a detector therefor, adapted to obtain a two dimensional image of the beam after passing through a cyclically varying object to be investigated, a processor adapted to review the images and select images at like points in the cycle, and a control means for the beam of radiation adapted to activate the beam periodically. The control means can activate the beam at a frequency of between 0.5 and 5 Hertz, more preferably between 1 and 3 Hertz, which corresponds (roughly) to a frequency that is between 6 and 10 times the frequency of the cyclical variation. It will assist if the selected point of the cycle is an extremity thereof, as the rate of change in these areas is at a minimum. Thus, slight mismatches between the two cycles will then have only a small effect. Typically, the object will be a patient and the cyclical variation will be the patient's breathing cycle. | 04-29-2010 |
20100322491 | Calibration of volume acquired images - A method is disclosed whereby a prior reference image is used as a calibration source for a volume image prepared using less accurate apparatus, such as during therapy.

20090039652 | ELECTRICAL MACHINE - Embedding electrical machines in gas turbine engines has particular advantages by avoiding the need to provide mechanical connections. However, electrical machines such as switched reluctance electrical machines require relatively large electrical capacitors to accommodate and filter voltage variations in the phases of the electrical machine. Generally, the electrical machine will have a motoring period or generating period with a spacer period between. By injecting electrical current as electrical power in the spacer period, there is limited effect upon net torque within the electrical machine or electrical power generation. However, such stored electrical power in an inductive winding element of the electrical machine augments power pulses provided by a power source incorporating an electrical capacitor. In such circumstances, a smaller sized electrical capacitor can be used. | 02-12-2009 |

20150066665 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR PROVIDING THIRD-PARTY CONTENT ON A WEB PAGE - Systems and methods for automatically identifying visually sensible locations in which third-party content can be placed on a web page and configuring the web page to display third-party content at the identified locations. A processor identifies a root element of a web page within which to insert third-party content slots for providing third-party content items. The processor identifies visible content items within the root element and identifies anchorable elements within the root element around which a third-party content slot is insertable. Each of the anchorable elements corresponds to a respective identified visible content item that has bounds that extend from a first predefined region to a second predefined region of the web page. The processor determines that one or more positions relative to the identified anchorable elements are usable for inserting a third-party content slot. The processor generates a list including positions relative to the identified anchorable elements determined to be usable. | 03-05-2015 |

20090172117 | METHODS FOR USING MESSAGE QUEUING TELEMETRY TRANSPORT FOR SENSOR NETWORKS TO SUPPORT SLEEPING DEVICES - Methods support a sleep mode for an embedded device. Embedded devices like sensors and actuators used in wireless sensor networks have a limited power supply. To conserve energy and thus increase the lifetime of these devices, the devices should be put into a stand-by mode (also called sleep-mode) when they are not used. These methods support the sleep mode at a higher level than the MAC layer, thus avoiding the problems of prior art approaches. Methods are exemplarily described for the case of the message queuing telemetry transport protocol for sensor networks. They can easily be adapted to other protocols. | 07-02-2009 |
