  • Publication number: 20230032956
    Abstract: It is provided a method for checking quality of a treatment plan, wherein a treatment plan specifies a distribution of radiation to thereby provide radiation to a planning target volume. The method is performed by a quality assurance device and comprises the steps of: obtaining a treatment plan and a corresponding first dose, the treatment plan having been calculated in a treatment planning system, the first dose being a predicted dose to be deposited in the patient using the treatment plan; initiating a calculation of a secondary dose, being a dose deposited by the treatment plan, using a secondary dose calculation algorithm; repeatedly calculating a confidence interval of a comparative statistical measurement by comparing the first dose and the secondary dose over a defined geometric volume; and interrupting the calculation of the secondary dose when the confidence interval is better than at least one predefined criterion.

  • Publication number: 20230019727
    Abstract: It is provided a method for providing a treatment plan for radiotherapy when the delivery is interrupted, the method being performed by a treatment planning system. The method comprises the steps of: detecting that delivery of a first treatment plan has been interrupted; obtaining an indication of delivery of a partial dose, representing the part of the first treatment plan that was delivered prior to the interruption; generating a second treatment plan, wherein the partial dose delivery forms an input to the second treatment plan generation as a background dose; and optimizing the second treatment plan while considering a plurality of scenarios.

  • Patent number: 6468120
    Abstract: Inboard/outboard trim/tilt assembly including a shield assembly for being secured to a transom of the boat. A gimbal ring is pivotably coupled to the shield assembly at an axis of rotation. A drive frame is pivotably connected to the gimbal ring so that the drive frame pivots in conjunction with the gimbal ring. A single trim cylinder is included that has a first end connected to the gimbal ring and a second end connected to the drive frame. The trim cylinder has a cylinder rod and a cylinder housing and the cylinder rod is movable within the cylinder housing. The cylinder rod moves in a first direction relative to the cylinder housing for tilting the drive frame to a trim up position and moves in a second direction relative to the cylinder housing for tilting the drive frame to a trim down position. For protective purposes, the trim cylinder is at least partially covered by a portion of the gimbal ring.

  • Patent number: 6468119
    Abstract: Stern drive assembly configured for utilization in an inboard/outboard power plant for a boat. The stern drive assembly includes a central rigid core that is configured at an upper portion to be coupled to the stern of a carrying boat. A lower portion of the core is designed to accept a boat-moving force generated by a water propulsion unit that is coupled thereto. A thin-walled housing is configured to be secured about a predominance of the centrally located rigid core. The housing has an outer surface that establishes an exterior of the stern drive assembly and an inner surface directed generally toward the central rigid core. A portion of an exterior surface of the central rigid core is configured to cooperate with a corresponding portion of the inner surface of the thin-walled housing. These two portions, when in cooperative orientation one with the other, form a functional feature for the stern drive assembly.
