  • Publication number: 20140104273
    Abstract: A method of identifying a structure in a volume of data. The method includes steps of generating a scalar mask volume which corresponds to at least a portion of the volume of data; displaying the volume of data to a user through a viewport; obtaining from a user at least one seed region identified on the viewport; projecting the seed region from the viewport into the scalar mask volume to identify at least one segmentation seed within the scalar mask volume; obtaining from a user at least one diffusion region identified on the viewport; projecting the diffusion region from the viewport into the scalar mask volume to identify a region for seed growth within the scalar mask volume; and growing the at least one segmentation seed within the scalar mask volume to identify a structure within the volume of data.

  • Patent number: 5570779
    Abstract: Step-shaped innerframes and blanks for forming such innerframes are provided to permit shorter than conventional cigarettes to be packaged in a conventionally sized hinged lid box. A front panel is foldably connected to a substantially perpendicular step bottom panel which in turn is foldably connected to a substantially perpendicular back panel, such that the front and back panels extend in opposite directions and lie in substantially parallel planes to form an integral step configuration. When the inner frame is located within a hinged lid box, a receptacle is formed for a short cigarette bundle. A lower receptacle is defined below the step bottom panel to store discarded cigarettes which are inserted into the lower receptacle via a hole located in one of the box walls and any associated underlying innerframe panel.
