Abstract: A seal assembly features radially stacked sealing elements separated by a ring shaped structural member with the structural member configured to fold on itself as the inner and outer sealing elements are axially compressed during the setting process. The structural member remains embedded in the outer sealing element when the assembly is set. Seal rings flank the inner and outer sealing element and feature an outwardly facing bevel to contact a conforming bevel shape on extrusion ring assemblies. During axial compression the extrusion rings are pushed out with the seal rings and then the inner and outer sealing elements are axially compressed as the structural member's ends come together and its middle folds. The structural member creates gaps to allow fluid to escape during setting.

Abstract: Systems and methods for MBIR reconstruction utilizing a super-voxel approach are provided. A super-voxel algorithm is an optimization algorithm that, as with ICD, produces rapid and geometrically agnostic convergence to the MBIR reconstruction by processing super-voxels which comprise a plurality of voxels whose corresponding memory entries substantially overlap. The voxels in the super-voxel may also be localized or adjacent to one another in the image. In addition, the super-voxel algorithm straightens the memory in the “sinogram” that contains the measured CT data so that both data and intermediate results of the computation can be efficiently accessed from high-speed memory and cache on a computer, GPU, or other high-performance computing hardware. Therefore, each iteration of the super-voxel algorithm runs much faster by more efficiently using the computing hardware.

Abstract: A device for bending a kirschner wire comprises: a retaining slot for fixing a kirschner wire, with a contact for applying a bending force to a steel needle fixed by the retaining slot being disposed at a lateral of the retaining slot. Compared with the prior art in which clamping heads are used to clamp a steel needle first and then the steel needle is forcibly bent in the clamped state in most cases, which may be time-consuming and strenuous, the present invention provides not only a device for bending and chipping off an orthopedic steel needle in one time, which is applicable to cases where chipping off of steel needles is required, but also a device capable of only bending a steel needle, which is low in requirement on material and low in manufacturing cost as the force for bending a steel needle is far smaller than the force for chipping off the same, and thus is applicable to cases where only bending of steel needles is required.
