Abstract: Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) are commonly used to assess patients with known or suspected pathologies of the lungs and liver. In particular, identification and quantification of possibly malignant regions identified in these high-resolution images is essential for accurate and timely diagnosis. However, careful quantitative assessment of lung and liver lesions is tedious and time consuming. This disclosure describes an automated end-to-end pipeline for accurate lesion detection and segmentation.

Abstract: A system, for deforming an effective structure, includes a stack, compression means, and shear means. The stack includes, successively, the effective structure and a buffer matrix. Between the effective structure and the buffer matrix is an interface having a mean plane. The compression means is designed to apply a compressive force to the stack along an axis normal to the mean plane of the interface. The shear means is designed to apply to the buffer matrix longitudinal shear forces parallel to the mean plane of the interface. The buffer matrix is designed to transmit the shear forces to the effective structure in the mean plane of the interface so as to deform the effective structure.

Abstract: A method is provided for determining a coupling between magnetometers of an array of N magnetometers, for example with optical pumping, where each magnetometer includes a field cancellation system capable of being activated to operate the magnetometer in zero field. This method includes a first phase during which one of the N magnetometers is a measuring magnetometer whose field cancellation system is activated and the other N-1 magnetometers have their field cancellation system deactivated. This first phase includes generation by the magnetometers, of a plurality of reference magnetic fields of known amplitudes and distinct directions, the measurement, by the measuring magnetometer, of the ambient magnetic field on a plurality of measurement axes, and determination of coupling coefficients between the measuring magnetometer and each of the N magnetometers from said measurement and said known amplitudes.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining a coupling between magnetometers of an array of N magnetometers, for example with optical pumping, where each magnetometer comprises a field cancellation system capable of being activated to operate the magnetometer in zero field. This method comprises a first phase (P1) during which the N magnetometers are separated into N?1 magnetometers whose field cancellation system is deactivated and a measuring magnetometer whose field cancellation system is activated. This first phase comprises: the generation (GENj), by the magnetometers, of a plurality of reference magnetic fields of known amplitudes and distinct directions, the measurement (MESi), by the measuring magnetometer, of the ambient magnetic field on a plurality of measurement axes determination (CALCij) of coupling coefficients between the measuring magnetometer and each of the N magnetometers from said measurement and said known amplitudes.

Abstract: A magnetometer is provided which measures an ambient magnetic field having a frequency range of interest. An optical pumping source emits in the direction of a cell filled with an atomic gas a light beam linearly polarised in a polarisation direction. A parametric resonance excitation circuit induces in the cell a radiofrequency magnetic field having two components orthogonal to the polarisation direction and each oscillating at its own oscillation frequency. A parametric resonance detection circuit performs synchronous detection at an inter-harmonic of oscillation frequencies of an electrical signal outputted by a photodetector arranged to receive the light beam having passed through the cell. A zero-field servo-control circuit generates from the synchronous detection a compensation magnetic field opposite to a component of the ambient magnetic field oriented in the polarisation direction.

Abstract: The invention relates to a nuclear fuel cladding comprising: i) a substrate containing a zirconium-based inner layer, optionally coated with at least one intermediate layer formed by at least one intermediate material selected from among tantalum, molybdenum, tungsten, niobium, vanadium, hafnium or the alloys thereof; and ii) at least one protective outer layer placed on the substrate and formed by a protective material selected from either chromium or an alloy of chromium. The nuclear fuel cladding produced using the method of the invention has improved resistance to oxidation/hydriding. The invention also relates to the method for the production of the nuclear fuel cladding by ion etching of the surface of the substrate and deposition of the outer layer on the substrate with a high power impulse magnetron sputtering method (HiPIMS), as well as to the use thereof to protect against oxidation and/or hydriding.
