Appl. No.:

11/422202

Assignee:

Varian Medical Systems, Inc. - Palo Alto CA

International Classification:

G06K 9/00
A61B 6/00
A61B 8/00

US Classification:

382131, 600436, 600437, 600439

Abstract:

An efficient method and system of contouring target volumes and normal tissues at risk using an expert case as interactive tutorial reference for radiation therapy treatment plan is disclosed. Target volume contours based on guidance from a disease-matched expert case is selected by the user. The second imaging data set of a new patient is then displayed and linked with expert's case in a the slice-by-slice and side-by-side fashion and at comparable field-of-view angles. Users can generate the target volume contours on the new patient using expert case as tutorial guidance or overlaying the expert contours onto the new patient's imaging data set followed by reforming the target volume contours to fit the anatomical terrain of the patient. Users can then modify the target volume contours of their patient using expert case as tutorial guidance linked in a the slice-by-slice and side-by-side fashion and at comparable field-of-view angles.

Inventors:

International Classification:

G09B 3/00

US Classification:

434350000

Abstract:

The present invention generally relates to a method and apparatus for allowing nearly simultaneous retrieval of large data and small data. In carrying out the method, the first step involves a user interfacing with a first workstation to query a small data storage device for selected data. In the second step, the small data storage device then transmits the selected data to the first workstation while simultaneously communicating with a large data storage device to identify relevant large data files. In the third step, the relevant large file data is transferred from the large data storage device at a transfer rate sufficiently fast enough to reach the first workstation before or about the same time that the smaller data reaches the first workstation, the overall process occurring in a sufficiently short period of time to meet the “on-demand” needs of the user.

F03D 1/06

US Classification:

416228, 2988971, 249102

Abstract:

A wind turbine for generating electrical energy may include a wind turbine blade including a plurality of vortex generators integrally formed in the outer surface of the blade. The vortex generator includes a first component that defines a portion of the outer surface of the blade and a second component defining the shape of the vortex generator and at least partially surrounded by the first component. A method of manufacturing the wind turbine blade includes disposing a first plurality of layers of structural material over a mold main body and a removable insert member with a shaped cavity. A shaped plug is then pressed into the shaped cavity, and a second plurality of layers of structural material is disposed over the plug and the mold main body to complete manufacture of a wind turbine blade with a vortex generator.
