Abstract: A computerized method is provided for selecting a direction of formation of a slag puddle on a workpiece during processing of the workpiece by a thermal processing torch. The method comprises causing the torch to emit a thermal arc to gouge the workpiece at a first location without piercing through the workpiece. The method also includes translating the torch from the first location to a second location along a first direction on the workpiece while the torch is gouging the workpiece, the first direction substantially along the selected direction of slag puddle formation. The gouging and translating cause formation of a trench in a surface of the workpiece in the first direction. The method further includes causing the thermal arc emitted by the torch to pierce through the workpiece at the second location, which causes the formation of the slag puddle along the selected direction as guided by the trench.

Abstract: Two or more electrophysiology characteristics can be graphically represented in a single representation output, for example, by an electroanatomical mapping system. The system can generate or receive multiple electrophysiology maps, one for each of a corresponding number of electrophysiological characteristics. The system can also generate or receive a three-dimensional anatomical model, such as a cardiac surface model, that includes a focal point. The system can identify a display region about the focal point and transform the display region from a three-dimensional surface into a plane. One or more of the electrophysiology maps can be represented by varying the elevation of the plane, e.g., according to value(s) of the represented electrophysiological characteristic(s). One or more additional electrophysiology maps can be represented on the elevation-varied plane, e.g., in color scale, grey scale, or the like.
