20110299756METHOD AND DEVICE FOR SEGMENTING A DIGITAL CELL IMAGE - A method and a device for segmenting a digital image of biological cells, a method and a device for analyzing the dynamic behavior of biological cells and a method and a device for visualizing the dynamic behavior of biological cells. To provide a segmentation method that has minimal technical requirements, does not necessitate any special preparation or manipulation of the cells to be observed and which requires as few assumptions as possible to be made about the properties of the cells, it is proposed that the method comprises the following steps: determining a maximum gradient for each pixel of the image as the maximum difference between a pixel value of the pixel and the respective pixel values of all or selected neighboring pixels, determining a segmentation threshold value using the frequencies of the maximum gradients, classifying the images into an object class and an environment class using the segmentation threshold value and forming a segmentation zone of the digital image using a class merging method, in particular a region growing method.12-08-2011

20100176670Machine cooling scheme - A motor, generator, or other machine with an improved rotor and stator structure providing radial slots in the rotor and stator can create an improved cooling scheme, or airflow pattern. Such a cooling scheme can be adapted for both totally enclosed and open drip proof motors, generators, and other machines easily, such that the two types of machines may share manufacturing facilities. The improved airflow pattern can provide for a cooling material to first flow in an axial direction along the axis of the rotor, then in a radial direction from the center of the machine outward, then again in an axial direction, and finally in a radial direction. At the end of the airflow pattern, in totally enclosed machines, the cooling material may flow radially inwards and begin the cycle again, whereas in open drip proof machines, the cooling material may flow radially outward again and exit the machine.07-15-2010
