Abstract: Alkylene oxides are polymerized in the presence of a catalyst system that includes a double metal cyanide catalyst that is modified with certain metal or semi-metal compounds. At least one additive is present. The additive is an alkali metal, ammonium or quaternary ammonium salt of a monocarboxylic acid having up to 24 carbon atoms; monobasic potassium phosphate, a monobasic ammonium or quaternary ammonium phosphate, a dibasic ammonium and quaternary ammonium phosphate or phosphoric acid.

Abstract: A method includes extracting information from an unstructured data source, the method including: scraping, by at least one processor, a plurality of texts from the unstructured data source, extracting, by the at least one processor, from the plurality of texts a chunk of relevant text, summarizing, by the at least one processor, using a pre-trained summarizer, the chunk of relevant text to obtain semi-structured information comprising a set of sentences that summarize the chunk of relevant texts, and postprocessing, by the at least one processor, the semi-structured information to obtain structured information. The method can be executed highly efficiently, in particular on massively parallel hardware.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of producing a 3D centerline of an organ vessel from a plurality of 2D x-ray images. The method comprises the steps of producing a point-cloud of 3D points which represent intersecting and non-intersecting points between projection lines from the 2D images to their respective x-ray sources; fitting a compound curve to the points in the point-cloud of 3D points; removing outliers from the point-cloud; fitting a new compound curve to the remaining points in the point-cloud of 3D points; and repeating certain steps, wherein the resultant compound curve represents the 3D centerline of the organ vessel. The method minimizes reconstruction errors and produces an optimally-reconstructed 3D vessel skeleton.

Abstract: A rotation base has a base circular structure. A display backing has a backing circular structure. The backing circular structure is rotatably attached to the base circular structure to permit the display backing to rotate between landscape and portrait orientations relative to the rotation base. One of the base and backing circular structures defines a slot. The other of the base and backing circular structures defines a tab rotatably disposed within the slot.
