  • Patent number: 11176683
    Abstract: Methods, systems, workstations, and computer program products that provide automated implant analysis using first and second sets of patient image stacks of a patient having at least one metallic implant coupled to bone. Relevant image stack pairs are selected from the first and second patient image stacks, the image stack pairs having at least one common target object or part of a target object for analysis therein. Bone and the at least one metallic implant are segmented in the first and second image stacks to define segmented objects and/or segmented parts of objects. Selected relevant image stack pairs from the first and second patient image stacks can be registered using the selected segmented objects and/or the segmented parts of objects. Measurements of movement of the implant and/or coupled bone after the registration can be calculated using the selected segmented objects and/or the segmented parts of objects.

  • Patent number: 11158062
    Abstract: Methods, systems, workstations, and computer program products that provide automated implant analysis of batches of image data sets of a plurality of different patients having an implant coupled to bone using a first data set of a first patient from the batch of image data sets, the first data set comprising a first image stack and a second image stack and allowing a user to select parameter settings for implant movement analysis of the implant including selecting a first object of interest and a second reference object. Measurements of movement of the implant and/or coupled bone can be automatically calculated and selected parameter settings can be automatically propagated to other image data sets of other patients of the batch of image data sets and measurements for the batch of image data sets of others of the different patients can be automatically calculated.

  • Patent number: 8435323
    Abstract: A process for batchwise working-up valuable metals containing recycling materials having a content of organic constituents so high that its use as smelting materials in conventional metal smelting processes is not suitably or even possible. The material is charged to a tiltable reactor rotatable along its own longitudinal axis having a common opening for charging and emptying. The material is heated to a temperature promoting the expulsion of organic constituents by pyrolysis and/or combustion. The material consists at least to an essential part of such size fractions that admits a continuous charging during operation. The process is characterized in that said material during operation is charged continuously in an adjustable stream being controlled and/or adjusted by means of running measurements of different process variables so that the flow and composition of the combustible gas and the heat release is kept under control.

  • Patent number: 6666840
    Abstract: Method and device for determining in dialysis treatment the content of waste products in the outgoing dialysis liquid from the dialyzer. Measurement of the concentration of a certain substance or a combination of substances included in the waste products is effected spectrophotometrically directly on the outgoing dialysis liquid from the dialyzer. For that purpose there is provided after the dialyzer in or after the dialysing machine a measuring cell for spectrophotometric measurement. The measurement value obtained is multiplied by the flow of dialysis liquid for determining the content of said substance or said combination of substances in the outgoing dialysis liquid from the dialyzer.

  • Patent number: 4142385
    Abstract: An apparatus for wet processing textile material, of the kind in which the textile material is circulated in endless web form partly through a bath containing a treatment liquid by means of a jet nozzle located above the bath. A deflector surface is located behind the jet nozzle for deflecting the jet and the web carried thereby. Between the jet nozzle and the deflector surface there is a space free from any structure imposing any restricting or guiding action on the jet and the web carried thereby before reaching the deflector surface.

  • Patent number: 3952558
    Abstract: A machine for dyeing or other wet-treatment of knitted, crocheted or woven textile goods, and of the kind in which the textile goods in web form is driven around through a bath of treatment liquid by means of a driving nozzle supplied with treatment liquid under pressure and through which the textile goods is passed in the form of a string or rope, wherein the driving nozzle is directed towards a guide surface deflecting the liquid jet along with the accompanying textile string or rope leaving the driving nozzle in a downward direction, owing to the driving nozzle being disposed in such a position relative to the guide surface as to cause the jet and the textile string or rope to impinge the guide surface at an acute angle, and simultaneously spreading the jet along with the string or rope laterally to cause the textile goods to enter the liquid bath spread out into web form.
