  • Publication number: 20190167100
    Abstract: Methods and systems for suppressing shadowgraphic flow projection artifacts in OCT angiography images of a sample are disclosed. In one example approach, normalized OCT angiography data is analyzed at the level of individual A-scans to classify signals as either flow or projection artifact. This classification information is then used to suppress projection artifacts in the three dimensional OCT angiography dataset.

  • Patent number: 9950803
    Abstract: Provided is an airplane suspension (20) fairing structure with a wing-mounted arrangement, the fairing structure comprising a front fairing located in front of the leading edge (31) of a wing and a rear fairing located at the back of the leading edge (31) of the wing; the vertical section line (G) of the front fairing is curved, ascending along air flow direction from a start point (p) of an engine nacelle (10) to the maximum height position and then descending and extending below the lower surface (32) of the wing. In the present invention, due to the curved vertical section line of the front fairing of the suspension, inner space of the suspension is met only in the position requiring greater inner space, thus enabling the engine to be mounted close to the wing without additional devices; and the fairing aerodynamic surface of the suspension will not extend to the upper surface of the wing, avoiding interference of the suspension with the wing during cruising.
