Abstract: A medical imaging system comprises a patient support surface. An imaging apparatus has a support table located within the support surface, and adjustable relative to the support surface to be located above the surface and thereby engage a portion of the patient to be imaged. The imaging is performed by a rotary scanner rotatable about a vertical axis utilises multiple transducers that each image a different portion to produce conical slice. The signal processing compensates for attenuation and different gains in the transducers to provide a normalised set f data for reconstruction.

Abstract: An object oriented approach to virtual motion programming utilizes generic motion identifiers such as "turn" and "accelerate" in combination with modifiers such as the start and end times, the magnitude, and the direction of the motion object to be simulated to construct universal generic motion descriptions of complex motion events. The minimal bandwidth requirements of this virtual motion programming approach enables use of MIDI communication standards for virtual reality show systems and interactive computer applications, including video games. A virtual motion controller receives generic motion descriptions and breaks down the descriptions into their constituent parts.
