  • Publication number: 20240083539
    Abstract: A two-wheeled vehicle includes a frame assembly having a front end and a rear end extending along a longitudinally-extending centerline, a front ground-engaging member operably coupled to the front end of the frame assembly at a front rotational axis, and a rear ground-engaging member operably coupled to the rear end of the frame assembly at a rear rotational axis. The vehicle further includes an engine supported by the frame assembly and operably coupled to the front and rear ground-engaging members, and the engine includes a throttle body assembly. Additionally, the vehicle includes an air intake assembly fluidly coupled to the engine and including an airbox and a mounting plate having a first channel and a second channel. The first and second channels are configured to align with the throttle body assembly. The mounting plate is configured to couple the airbox to the throttle body assembly.

  • Publication number: 20090202119
    Abstract: A method for analysis and processing of fluorescent images. Fluorescent light is emitted by tumor tissue in an illuminated surgical area detected by an image detection device and is forwarded to an image processing system. After determination of a maximal intensity, the image processing system determines a threshold value as a predefined fraction of the maximal intensity. With basic morphological operations of image processing, limit intensity lines which separate the tumor tissue of intensities above the threshold value and normal tissue of intensities below the threshold value are generated and imaged in a line profile image, wherein the line profile image can be superimposed on the fluorescent image.
