| 20120121124 | Method for optical pose detection - The tracking and compensation of patient motion during a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) acquisition is an unsolved problem. A self-encoded marker where each feature on the pattern is augmented with a 2-D barcode is provided. Hence, the marker can be tracked even if it is not completely visible in the camera image. Furthermore, it offers considerable advantages over a simple checkerboard marker in terms of processing speed, since it makes the correspondence search of feature points and marker-model coordinates, which are required for the pose estimation, redundant. Significantly improved accuracy relative to a planar checkerboard pattern is obtained for both phantom experiments and in-vivo experiments with substantial patient motion. In an alternative aspect, a marker having non-coplanar features can be employed to provide improved motion tracking. Such a marker provides depth cues that can be exploited to improve motion tracking. The aspects of non-coplanar patterns and self-encoded patterns can be practiced independently or in combination. | 05-17-2012 |

| 20080221345 | Use of a Phosphorus Containing Ligand and a Cyclic Organic Ligand in a Transition Metal Compound - According to the present invention there is provided a compound in the form of a transition metal compound including a transition metal, a phosphorus containing ligand, and a cyclic organic ligand. The phosphorus containing ligand is a heterocyclic organic compound with a ligating phosphorus atom which ligates with the transition metal, and which ligating phosphorus atom is an atom in the heterocyclic ring structure of the heterocyclic organic compound. The cyclic organic ligand is a cyclic organic compound with a ligating carbon atom in the cyclic ring structure of the cyclic organic compound which ligates with the transition metal by means of a double bound. The invention also relates to a method preparing such a compound and a metathesis reaction wherein such a compound is used as a catalyst. | 09-11-2008 |

| 20110000076 | INDEXER - This invention relates to an indexer for providing rotation of a part from a first index position to a second index position. The indexer comprises an indexer frame and a part for rotation. The indexer frame has at least one index feature, and the part has at least one index feature, wherein the at least one index feature on the indexer frame is co-operable with the at least one index feature on the part so as to provide two or more index positions of the part with respect to the indexer frame. In use the part locates with the indexer frame so as to form an axis about which the part is able to rotate relative to the indexer frame, the axis being kinematically located. | 01-06-2011 |
| 20110291343 | BILLET AND CORRESPONDING BILLET HOLDER - A billet holder comprising a base and a frame is described. The base and frame are connectable, and when connected are relatively moveable between an open configuration when a billet may be inserted or removed from the billet holder and, a closed configuration when a billet is retained within the billet holder. A billet for being retained within a billet holder, said billet having one or more orientation feature, is also described. The billet may have essentially a D-shape. Further described is a method of manufacture of an article from a billet. | 12-01-2011 |

| 20110060528 | NOISE ATTENUATION OF SEISMIC DATA - The present invention relates to a method of filtering seismic data for noise attenuation. An embodiment of the present invention provides a method of processing seismic data in which the seismic data is transformed into an f-x domain using a discrete Fourier transform and is then filtered at each discrete frequency using an infinite impulse response (HR) filter. | 03-10-2011 |
