Filed:

Jun 1, 1999

Appl. No.:

09/323316

Inventors:

William E. Butler - Boston MA
Paul H. Chapman - North Reading MA
Eric R. Cosman - Belmont MA

Assignee:

Sherwood Services AG - Schaffhausen

International Classification:

A61D 608

US Classification:

378 20, 378 63, 378205

Abstract:

This invention relates to the quantitative determination of a target or volume in the living body relative to external apparatus based on CT (computer tomography) or other image data. The invention describes a means of taking CT image data of the anatomy and of natural or implanted index positions on the patients body, and relating the CT data to a coordinate system related to external apparatus which may be in fixed position relative to the patient. One implementation uses a transformation between the CT image data coordinate system and the second coordinate system. This makes it possible to do frame-based or frameless stereotactic target identification and approaches without the need for attaching a frame to the patient at the time of CT scanning.

International Classification:

A24D001/02

US Classification:

131365, 131349, 162139

Abstract:

Smokable rods of cigarettes are manufactured using wrapping materials that incorporate at least one fibrous material (e. g. , flax fibers, hardwood pulp fibers and/or softwood pulp fibers) at least one filler material (e. g. , calcium carbonate in particulate form). The wrapping materials possess multi-layer coatings. The wrapping materials possess coatings in the form of series of spaced apart bands, each band possessing a series of layers. At least one of the coating layers can have a filler material dispersed or suspended within a film-forming material of that layer.

US Classification:

131365, 131360, 162139, 162158

Abstract:

Smokable rods of cigarettes are manufactured using wrapping materials that incorporate at least one fibrous material (e. g. , flax fibers, hardwood pulp fibers and/or softwood pulp fibers) at least one filler material (e. g. , calcium carbonate in particulate form). The wrapping materials possess multi-layer coatings. The wrapping materials possess coatings in the form of series of spaced apart bands, each band possessing a series of layers. At least one of the coating layers can have a filler material dispersed or suspended within a film-forming material of that layer. For a representative wrapping material, a pattern of applied to the wire side major surface of the wrapping material substrate as a plurality of layers, and at least one of the layers includes ethylcellulose and calcium carbonate. For that layer, the calcium carbonate is present in an amount greater than the ethylcellulose, on a weight basis. The ethylcellulose and calcium carbonate typically are applied as part of a non-aqueous formulation incorporating iso-propyl acetate, triacetin and lecithin.

US Classification:

700 99, 705 10, 717100

Abstract:

A system () for demand breakout for a supply chain includes a memory () operable to store a plurality of orders () for at least one product. Each product may be produced using at least one precursor. The memory () is also operable to store a production schedule () identifying one or more resources () in the supply chain, a quantity of each product and precursor scheduled to be produced by the resources (), and a time period associated with production of each product and precursor. The system () also includes one or more processors () collectively operable to identify one or more particular units of the product that correspond to each product order. The one or more processors () are also collectively operable to identify one or more particular units of one or more precursors that correspond to each product order.
