20080298653 | Method for Topographical Presentation of Alterations in an Examined Brain - The invention relates to a method for the topographical presentation of structural alterations in an examined brain using volume data records. In line with the invention, this method is distinguished in that functional areas are mapped by extracting profiles, where the profiles record boundaries for two functional areas in the examined brain, in that the boundaries of the two functional areas are recorded by calculating a multivariant distance measurement, and in that a microstructure in the region of the boundaries of the two cortical areas is recorded and is compared with at least one microstructure in a boundary region of a reference brain. To increase the comparability of various areas in various brains taking into account the interindividual variability, it is expedient for the volume data records to be transformed to a target volume data record using an elastic registration method. | 12-04-2008 |

20100011346 | CONTROL CHART TECHNIQUE FOR ANALYZING SOFTWARE ENGINEERING ACTIVITIES AFFECTED BY INTRINSIC PROCESS VARIATION AND STATISTICAL FLUCTUATIONS - In software engineering, the performance or efficiency of individual process steps is typically defined as some sort of rate such as the number of detected defects divided by the effort spent for review or testing. In this situation, the variation in tie data always reflects a mixture of intrinsic process variation caused by, for example, human factors such as the experience of reviewers or the variable quality of the review objects, and purely statistical variation due to the effects of Poisson statistics when defects are counted. Due to this mixture of causes of variation no conventional statistical process control chart holds for the constraints of typical software engineering processes. A new statistical process control (SPC) approach (method and system) is presented to overcome the mentioned problems. | 01-14-2010 |
