  • Publication number: 20120299916
    Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and apparatus for generating a 3D rendering of and quantitative analysis of biochemical MRI voxels corresponding to a tissue or organ of interest. Voxels corresponding to the tissue or organ of interest can be identified from anatomical MRI voxels and aligned with biochemical MRI voxels. The biochemical MRI voxels aligned with the tissue or organ of interest can be isolated and then provided to one or more modules for 3D rendering and quantitative analysis.

  • Publication number: 20070047717
    Abstract: A universal database of telephone numbers of the Public Switched Telephone Network operating under the North American Numbering Plan is created and updated regularly to reflect the most current name and telephone information for telephone subscribers. The database is updated by a system that accesses telephone company subscriber databases through a high-speed connection such as a T1 line that permits modification of the outgoing Calling Party Number (CPN) message field to include any telephone number that the system is interested in searching. By placing a call to a destination line belonging to the system and inserting a telephone-number-in-question (TNIQ) into the CPN message field, the system receives the subscriber name associated with the TNIQ as part of the Caller ID data reported by the telephone company on the destination line between the first and second rings of the incoming call.

  • Patent number: 6301799
    Abstract: An electronic fat gauge includes a main body and a clamping lever pivotally mounted on the main body. The clamping lever includes a shorter depressing arm and a longer measuring arm extended from a middle pivot portion of the clamping lever in opposite directions. When the shorter depressing arm is depressed, the longer measuring arm is caused to open by a wide angle relative to the main body for conveniently clamping a fatty area of a user's body between the measuring arm and the main body. The open angle of the measuring arm is converted into a signal through a variable resistor connected to the middle pivot portion of the clamping lever, and the signal is further converted by a control circuit into a value of measuring result for showing in a liquid crystal display and viewing by the user.

  • Patent number: 5665040
    Abstract: An elastic cord member and connector arrangement includes a connector having a coupling hole and two opposite notches at two opposite sides of said coupling hole and two opposite notches at two opposite sides of said coupling hole, an elastic cord member, and a coupling hole and two opposite notches at two opposite side of said coupling hole, an elastic cord member, and a coupling socket fixedly secured to one end of the elastic cord member and detachably coupled to the coupling hole of the connector by way of a spring supporting one end on the inside of the coupling hole of the connector, and by way of two locating lugs raised from the periphery at two opposite sides and adapted for inserting into notches of the coupling hole of the connector. The connector has two L-shaped locating holes vertically spaced at two opposite sides and arranged in reversed directions and respectively disposed in communication with the notches of the coupling hole of the connector.
