Abstract: An image fusion method which is used for medical applications. The method includes: (a) acquiring a first image with a planned radiation region; (b) acquiring a second image with actual radiation region; (c) determining if user defined landmarks have been placed on the first and second images, if user defined landmarks are present go to step (d), if not go to step (e); (d) pre-transforming the first image or second image or both images; and (e). performing a first delineation step on the actual radiation region. The method further includes: (f) determining if the delineation is correct, if yes go to step (g), if not go to step (h); (g) fusing the first and second image and exit process; and (h) selecting multiple guide points around the actual radiation region in the second image, wherein the guide points are position adaptable points; which are placed near but not on the boundaries of the region; and (i) performing a second delineation step on the actual radiation region and go to step (f).

Abstract: A method and system for executing a hot gas heating cycle in a mobile refrigeration unit includes diverting a flow of hot gas by bypassing a condenser into a receiver and restricting the flow, thereby raising a discharge pressure and temperature of the unit. The discharge pressure of the unit is monitored, and the restriction is regulated when the discharge pressure reaches a predetermined pressure. A combination of small and large orifice hot gas valves is used, or optionally a hot gas stepper valve. A solenoid valve or an evaporator expansion valve is optionally used to meter refrigerant into the heat loop.

Abstract: A microprocessor controlled system performs low pressure side pumpdown with the assistance of a service technician. When the refrigerant in the system is transferred to the high pressure side, the low pressure side is available for servicing by the technician.

Abstract: A method of producing a dye image by processing an imagewise exposed color photographic element containing at least one silver halide emulsion layer, the emulsion layer being comprised of both latent image and non-latent image containing silver halide grains, and having a distribution of Compound X, Compound X being either a ballasted coupler capable of reacting with an oxidized developing agent of a developing solution, or a ballasted developing agent capable, in an oxidized state, of reacting with a component of a developing solution, said method comprising:A. contacting the photographic element with a first developing solution to develop the latent image containing grains and to imagewise convert the distribution of Compound X to a first dye;B. rendering the non-latent image containing grains developable; andC.
