Abstract: In one embodiment, an automatic high-speed X-ray system may generate a high-resolution X-ray image of an inspected sample at a direction substantially orthogonal to a plane of the inspected sample. The system may determine a first cross-sectional shape of a first portion of a first element of interest in the inspected sample based on grayscale values of the X-ray image associated with the first element of interest. The system may determine a second cross-sectional shape of a second portion of the first element of interest in the inspected sample. The second cross-sectional shape may be determined based on the grayscale values of the X-ray image associated with the first element of interest. The system may determine one or more first metrological parameters associated with the first element of interest in the inspected sample based a comparison of the first cross-sectional shape and the second cross-sectional shape.

Abstract: A humidification system for delivering humidified gases to a user can include a heater base, humidification chamber having an inlet, outlet, and associated fluid conduit, and breathing circuit including a supply conduit, inspiratory conduit, and optional expiratory conduit. The humidification system can include various features to help make set-up less difficult and time-consuming. For example, the supply conduit, inspiratory conduit, and optional expiratory conduit can be coupled into a one-piece circuit to aid set-up. Various components can be color-coded and can have corresponding structures to indicate which components should be connected to one another during set-up. Such features can also help make the set-up process more intuitive for an operator, which can reduce the need for specialized training and reduce the number of potential errors.
