Abstract: An electronic component comparison apparatus is disclosed for comparing performance characteristics of the electronic components at different operating conditions. The electronic component comparison apparatus includes a processor that receives input of a first electronic component and a first operating condition and receives input of a second electronic component and a second operating condition where the second operating condition may be different from the first operating condition. The processor estimates a first electronic component performance characteristic based at least in part on the first electronic component and the first operating condition and estimates a second electronic component performance characteristic based at least in part on the second electronic component and the second operating condition. The processor outputs the first electronic component performance characteristic and second electronic component performance characteristic via a user interface for comparison.

Abstract: Disclosed are method of detecting or characterizing a tumor by quantitatively measuring and comparing changes in mass transfer into the tumor and normal tissue over time using computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging. The methods can be used to predict therapeutic response to treatment and to develop treatment plans.

Abstract: A virtual travel system has an information server. The information server is used for storing data related to a plurality of different travel destinations. A monitor is coupled to the information server for viewing the data stored on the information server. An information server access box is coupled to the monitor and to the information server for accessing the information server and for transferring the data from the information server to the monitor.
