Abstract: A non-rigid anatomy reference system can include reference markers that are rigidly attachable to separate bodies of rigid tissue connected through flexible tissue in a region of a patient forming a marker array. A tracking system can acquire movement data of the reference markers as a function of time and position. A processor can be configured to: receive the movement data, where an individual reference marker has a first number of degrees of freedom less than 6 and a second reference marker having a second number of degrees of freedom; track the marker array as a whole with a total number of degrees of freedom greater than the first and the second number; and produce an updated image of the region of the patient to maintain registration to a prior image of the region and the tracked movement of the reference markers via the function.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to the purification and treatment of oil produced from the liquefaction of waste polymer for instance the pyrolysis of waste plastics via the polymerization of dienes prior to further treatments.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable storage mediums for managing testing of a well to facilitate completion of the well is disclosed. The system may include a tool usable to perform testing on the well. The tool may include a circulation assembly, a primary control assembly, and a secondary control assembly. The circulation assembly may be reconfigurable by selectively isolating an annulus of the well from a fluid chamber of the circulation assembly. The primary control assembly may facilitate reconfiguration of the circulation assembly to selectively isolate the annulus, and facilitate flowing of various fluids and gasses to perform the testing. The secondary control assembly may serve as a partial backup for the primary control assembly usable to address undesired conditions in the well when the primary control assembly is unable to reconfigure the circulation assembly independent to address the undesired conditions.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a method to excite a shock wave in a target assembly includes: splitting a pulsed laser beam into a plurality of pulsed laser beams; spatially shaping the plurality of pulsed laser beams into a plurality of concentric pulsed laser rings of different diameters; and adjusting temporal and/or spatial intervals between the concentric pulsed laser rings to substantially match propagation times of a ring-shaped laser-driven shock wave from one ring to the next in a shock propagation layer of the target assembly.

Abstract: A process for the preparation of olefin by alcohol dehydration, for making polymer, fuel or fuel additive and use of olefin obtainable by said process for making polymer, fuel or fuel additive. Preferred olefin is C5 olefin obtained from dehydration of an alcohol or alcohol mixture, preferably from fusel oil.

Abstract: Novel and advantageous masks and helmets to protect an athlete's head and face from impacts and injuries. In particular, the present disclosure relates to novel and advantageous masks and helmets to help protect a baseball or softball catcher's face and head from concussive forces of an incoming ball strike. A mask of the present disclosure may be coupled to a helmet, or may be configured for use without a helmet in some embodiments. The mask may provide a generally cone-shaped structure in front of a wearer's face, so as to provide an angled surface for contact with an incoming ball. Additionally, a shock absorbing material may be provided at an interface between the helmet and mask to reduce and distribute force transfer between the mask and the helmet.
