A method and system is described for creating a mask that isolates a region of interest in a digital image. The mask is created using a second underlay image that is initialized to 255 pixel values (white). A user identifies a region of interest in the digital image by drawing a closed curve around the region of interest. The same closed curve is created automatically on the underlay image with bl...

A method for analyzing or processing contrast enhanced medical imaging information includes determining whether one or more candidate voxel sets within a Volume of Interest (VOI) exhibit washout curve behavior. If so, the method may identify a candidate voxel set exhibiting washout behavior as a likely malignancy. Otherwise, a method may determine whether one or more candidate voxel sets within th...

An inspection system for detecting anomalies on a substrate. A first network is coupled to the sensor array and communicates image data. Process nodes are couple to the first network, and process the data to produce reports. Each process node has an interface card that formats the data for a high speed interface bus that is coupled to the interface card. A computer receives and processes the data ...

The method involves loading a pile (21) of multiple flat units (11) in an introduction unit (40). One of the flat units is scrolled across an occultation zone (60) to find pressing and/or cutting defaults of the unit (11). The flat unit is removed if it has the defaults or the flat units are piled in a reception unit (80) to form a new pile (22). The steps are repeated till all the flat units in t...

A lubricating/functional fluid composition which exhibits in use improved antiwear and antifoaming properties. The improvements result from use of 2,5-dimercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazole and derivatives thereof together with silicone and/or fluorosilicone antifoam agents.
