Record 1 2002-07-31

English

Subject field(s)
  • Welding and Soldering (Metals)
CONT

A real-time digital video-image-processing system contributes to the automation of weld-seam tracking. The tracking system makes no contact with the seam. A small television camera views the seam just ahead of the point currently being welded. The welding arc provides the illumination. Periodically, a frame grabber digitizes the video image and stores it in a computer memory as gray-scale values. The seam is located by analyzing Hough-transform arrays of derivatives of digitally-filtered image data. The information on the location and orientation of the seam is used as feedback by a welding robot to correct deviations of the electrode from the seam as welding continues.

English

  • The Ear
CONT

In 4 cases of typical blue ear drum. CT examination was performed before and after treatment of the disease. Comparison of the CT image with that of OME(otitis media with effusion) cases demonstrated the following.(1) In blue ear drum cases, an irregular mass with soft tissue density exists in the middle ear after the elimination of effusion. This distinguishes the disease from OME and demonstrated that the two can be distinctly differentiated by CT findings.(2) In blue ear drum cases, the mass having the density of soft tissue disappeared when the patients became free from symptoms.(3) The mass with soft tissue density in the middle ear cavity of blue ear drum varied in location from case to case seemed to represent cholesterol granuloma.
