227 results about "Pinning points" patented technology

In a crystalline material, a dislocation is capable of traveling throughout the lattice when relatively small stresses are applied. This movement of dislocations results in the material plastically deforming. Pinning points in the material act to halt a dislocation's movement, requiring a greater amount of force to be applied to overcome the barrier. This results in an overall strengthening of materials.

Pressure pot lock cover structure

The invention relates to a pressure pot lock cover structure which comprises a pot body and a pot cover. A plurality of lower pot teeth are annularly arranged on the top of the pot body. Upper pot teeth are arranged at the bottom of the pot cover. The number of the upper pot teeth is the same as that of the lower pot teeth. The two sides of each lower pot tooth are provided with a forward side edge and a reverse side edge respectively, wherein the reverse side edge of at least one lower pot tooth is a blocking edge, and the forward side edges and the other reverse side edges are guiding bevels. A lock pin is transversely arranged inside the pot cover in a sliding mode. The lock pin is located at the portion above the end, corresponding to the lower pot teeth with the blocking edges, of the upper pot teeth. The lock pin points to the center of the pot body. When the pot cover and the pot body are closed, the upper pot teeth are buckled to the bottom of the corresponding lower pot teeth, the lock pin and the blocking edges are blocked, and the outer surface of the pot cover is provided with an unlocking control for controlling the lock pin to get away from the blocking edges. The structure has the advantages that safety and reliability are achieved, the cost is low, operation is convenient, the structure is simple and easy to use, it is ensured that a pressure pot cover cannot be opened violently in the using process of an electric pressure pot, and one-button uncovering can be achieved in a matched mode.

Imaging

A de-convolution process is applied to an MR, CT or other image (25) of a scanned-object (23) to derive the point-spread function (22′) at an object-edge and to pin-point from the mid-point of its full-width-half-maximum FWHM, the location (30) of the true image-edge. With the object-image (25′) overlying the PSF function (22′) in the de-convolution space, sub-pixels which follow location (30) are transferred to before it to re-construct the image-edge (25′) for sharper conformity to the object-edge (23). Sharp definition of image-contour (37) facilitates accurate determination of area and volume of image profiles (35) and their segmentation. The accurate image-edge definition enables viable correction of geometrical distortion in stand-alone MR diagnosis and treatment planning.

Orthodontic bone screw

A self-positioning and self-starting, tapered thread, orthodontic bone screw (25) for use in intra-oral corrections that serves as a craniomaxillofacial rigid post for orthodontic appliance fixation. The tip of the bone screw incorporates a defined sharp pin-point tack tip (2) to easily pierce the soft tissue and initially penetrate into the host bone for alignment and penetration. In series with the tack tip is a self-tapping, double, tapered thread (11) which allows an orthodontist to insert the bone screw post into the host bone in a single operation without the need for opening or flapping the surrounding soft tissue. As the bone screw penetrates the bone site, the tapered threads (24) allow for easy thread pick-up into the host bone while the increasing outer diameter of the thread (26) rigidly locks into the crestal bone. Once attached and fixated in the host bone, the distal cylindrical dome shaped driver head (12) acts as the fixation post for the anchorage of orthodontic appliances. Incorporated into the cylindrical dome shaped driver head are several attachment features including cross holes (13) and a snap-on undercut groove (19) for attaching orthodontic appliances either individually or simultaneously. The dome shaped head also incorporates a spline driver feature for easy pick-up, assembly and insertion of the screw with a corresponding spline driver tool (27) that allows the screw to be driven with either a standard square or cross slot driver feature.

Methods and devices for in situ tissue navigation

InactiveUS20090221922A1Reduce usual learning curveReduce manufacturing costSurgeryEndoscopesHand heldVolumetric Mass Density
The “Smart Tool” includes a “Smart Tool Probe” and two processing modules. The Smart Tool Probe is a hand held, wired or wireless, device that a surgeon utilizes for interrogating and identifying a tissue site, such as the entrance to a pedicle. The processing units, an Electro-Optical Control (EOC) Module and a CDS Module, provide control and display capabilities enabling real-time tissue site (such as vertebra bone) interrogation. The Smart Tool Probe utilizes a system of optical fibers that carry the interrogating optical signal sent by the light source(s) and the reflected optical signal back to the optical receivers. The light source(s) and light receivers are located in the EOC Module. The data received from the EOC Module are processed and converted into an image which is displayed on the screen in real-time. The software installed on the machine allows the surgeon to adjust / enhance the image properties to suit the selected requirements. This mode of operation provides interactive image sharpening (to adjust image sharpness), threshold control (to adjust image contrast), segmentation (to delineate the density map in the image), and image calculus (to pin-point the center of a particular region in the image).

Methods for Validation and Modeling of a Bayesian Network

This invention patent application describes mathematical methods to evaluate and validate the numbers in the conditional probability tables of a Bayesian network. Using the methods described here, the nodes of interest in the network could be evaluated for validity of the information they contain and errors could be detected by domain experts or knowledge engineers very easily. If there is a disagreement between knowledge engineers or domain experts belief of what the interaction should be and what is detected in the behavior of nodes selected for validation as shown in the reports, then, those errors could be easily located in the structure of the Bayesian network by pin pointing the table, column and row of the problematic cell. Then, the knowledge engineer or domain expert could modify the numbers to reflect the correct behavior. These methods also provide significant insight into the structure and efficiency of the structural design of the Bayesian network as well as value of information in the network. Using this information, hypothesis oriented application of Bayesian network is possible and evidence most relevant to the hypothesis of interest could be instantiated first. Additionally, the shortest path to rule-out or rule-in of a hypothesis could be known before the network is used. Applications of these methods in computer software could allow for streamlined and semi-automated design and validation process and construction of Bayesian networks. Furthermore, by using an almost reverse process, information about a domain can be captured and sorted lists prepared which in turn will be used to prepare a preliminary Bayesian network. Data elicitation using the network created in this fashion will complete the structure and probability tables of the Bayesian network.
