  • Publication number: 20130320113
    Abstract: The present invention is provided with a rich air sprayer component, which is disposed with a fixation part. The fixation part is disposed with an inlet part and an air enriching part. The inlet part is disposed with at least an inlet hole; the air enriching part is disposed with an air hole; the sectional area of the cavity of the air enriching part is larger than the sectional area of the inlet hole, making that negative pressure generates when water flows into the air enriching part from the inlet hole and air gets in from outside, air and water flow mix to form gas-water mixture, the sectional area of the cavity of the air enriching part is gradually narrowed, so that the gas-water mixture is dashed on the inner wall of the air enriching part to make water flow drawn air enough. It has advantages as below: the gas-water mixture is rich in air, making the sprayer with water saving, of granular sensation and strong spraying force.

  • Publication number: 20130131425
    Abstract: Radiosurgical treatments of tissues of the heart mitigate arrhythmias and treat other tumerous and non-tumerous disease using an implanted fiducial positioned in or near the heart using cardiac catheterization techniques. The fiducials may be implanted after diagnostic and planning images of the target tissues have been acquired. Fiducial implantation may take place the day of a scheduled radiosurgical treatment. Techniques to accommodate post-planning fiducial implantation may include registration of the implanted fiducial location with the treatment plan, and active fiducials may limit collateral imaging radiation exposure while enhancing tracking accuracy.

  • Patent number: 8430344
    Abstract: A swayable and retractable shower, includes a retractable assembly and a shower head. The retractable assembly includes a fixed portion, a retractable portion and a reset portion. The fixed portion has a through sliding hole. The retractable portion with a through water entry is hermetically and slidably connected in the through sliding hole. The reset portion is disposed between the fixed portion and the retractable portion. The water entry communicates with the through sliding hole. The shower head is swayably connected to the lower end of the retractable portion and can communicate with the water entry, so the shower head can swing left or right in optional directions when it is stretched out.

  • Publication number: 20110166408
    Abstract: A system that generates a three-dimensional model of a tissue surface, for example the inner surface of the heart from two-dimensional image data slices. On this surface, one or more pattern lines are drawn, e.g., by a physician using a user interface, to designate desired lesion(s) on the surface. From the pattern lines, a three-dimensional volume for a lesion can be determined using known constraints. Advantageously, the series of boundaries generated by the three-dimensional volume may be projected back onto the individual CT scans, which then may be transferred to a standard radiosurgical planning tool. A dose cloud may also be projected on the model to aid in evaluating a plan.

  • Publication number: 20100315424
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method is provided for generating and transforming graphics related to an object. The method includes obtaining one or more images taken from different points of view of the object, and a surface of the object is placed with a plurality of external markers such that control points for image processing are marked by the external markers. The method also includes building a spatial model from the one or more images based on the external markers, and processing the images to restore original color of parts of the one or more images covered by the external markers. Further, the method includes integrating texture from the restored images with the spatial model to build an integrated graphic model, and saving the integrated graphic model in a database.
