Abstract:
Systems, methods and apparatus are provided through which in one aspect, a three-dimensional (3D) image of an object is constructed from a plurality of two-dimensional (2D) images of the object using a specialized filter. The specialized filter implements a linear ramp function, a windowing function, and/or a polynomial function. The 3D image is back-projected from the filtered two-dimensional images, yielding a 3D image that has improved visual distinction of overlapping anatomic structures and reduced blurring.
Through-Hardened Valve Seat For Hydraulic Fracturing
A valve seat for hydraulic fracturing valves employs a through-hardening process, for example, with austempering, to provide greater wear resistance at the interface between the valve seat and the valve plug as well as resistance to abrasion and leakage in the interface between an alignment ring of the valve seat and a bore in the pump body.
