Abstract:
A system and method is described generally for providing a high altitude structure including an elongated structure extending substantially skyward from the ground. The elongated structure at least partially supported by buoyancy effects. The system and method also include a gas having a density that is less dense than that of the atmosphere outside of the elongated structure; the gas is disposed in one or more voids of the elongated structure. The system and method further include at least one control device coupled to the elongated structure and used to control the motion of the elongated structure, the control device not being directly coupled to the surface of the Earth.
Abstract:
One aspect relates to deriving at least one first visualization, image, or provided information via Compton scattering substantially within an at least some matter of an at least a portion of an individual at least partially as a result of directing an at least one first applied X-ray having an at least one first energy level towards the at least some matter of the at least the portion of the individual; deriving at least one second visualization, image, or provided information via Compton scattering substantially within the at least some matter of the at least the portion of the individual at least partially as a result of directing an at least one second applied X-ray having an at least one second energy level toward the at least some matter of the at least the portion of the individual; and deriving at least one combined visualization, combined image, or combined provided information at least partially by combining the at least one first visualization, image, or provided information with the at least one second visualization, image, or provided information.
Abstract:
Certain aspects relate to determining a desired ablating region within the at least some matter of the at least the portion of the individual at least partially in response to a Compton X-ray scattering visualizing, imaging, or information providing within the at least some matter of the at least the portion of the individual. Certain aspects can include ablating at least a portion of a desired ablating region within at least a portion of an at least some matter of an at least a portion of an individual based at least partially on a determining the desired ablating region within the at least some matter of the at least the portion of the individual responsive to the Compton X-ray scattering visualizing, imaging, or information providing within the at least some matter of the at least the portion of the individual.
Abstract:
Certain aspects relate to determining a location that an at least one Compton Scattered X-ray event occurs within an at least some matter of at least a portion of an individual based at least in part on determining a relative angle at which an at least one applied X-ray is being applied to the at least some matter of the at least the portion of the individual, determining a relative position from which an at least one applied X-ray is being applied to the at least some matter of the at least the portion of the individual. Certain aspects can include determining a detected location at which at least one induced Compton scattered X-ray photon is detected following scattering at the at least one Compton Scattered X-ray event, and determining a received angle at which the at least one induced Compton scattered X-ray photon is received following scattering at the at least one Compton Scattered X-ray event.
Abstract:
One aspect relates to determining a location of an at least one scattering event occurring within an at least some matter of at least a portion of an individual, wherein the determining the location of the the at least one scattering event is based at least in part on a combination of: a relative position and/or angle at which an at least one applied X-ray being applied to the at least some matter of the at least the portion of the individual, an applied energy level of the at least one applied X-ray being applied to the at least some matter of the at least the portion of the individual, a detected location of an at least one scattered X-ray resulting from scattering of the at least one applied X-ray scattering during the at least one scattering event, and a scattered energy level of the at least one scattered X-ray.

Abstract:
Methods, apparatuses, computer program products, devices and systems are described that include accepting one or more blood vessel sleeve dimensions based on blood vessel data from an individual; and making a rapid-prototyped blood vessel sleeve at least partly based on the one or more blood vessel sleeve dimensions.
