    摘要: A device for digital acquisition, storage and processing of time-dependent data signals, especially for the accumulation of interferograms delivered by spin resonance and infrared spectrometers, comprises an A/D converter; a main memory having random access; a disk storage; a data channel connecting the A/D converter with the main memory which data channel contains a pointer register and a word counter and carries out the direct transfer of words delivered by the A/D converter to that area of the main memory indicated by the contents of the pointer register, the number of words being defined by the contents of the word counter; and a central unit which loads the pointer register and the word counter at the beginning of each measurement period and activates the transfer of word blocks from the main memory to the disk storage and vice versa. In such a device, a significant reduction of the processing time required by the transition from one word block to the following word block is achieved by providing the data channel 3 with an addressing register 15 assigned to the pointer register 14 with a block length register 17 assigned to the word counter 16 and with a block counter 18, the address register, the block length register and the block counter 18 being loaded at the beginning of a measurement procedure from the central unit 7, whereas the pointer register 14 and the word counter16 are always loaded before starting the accumulation of each word block by transferring the data from the address or block length register 15, 17, until the number of word blocks determined by the contents of the block counter has been accumulated.

    摘要: A matched filtering method for X-ray image subtraction procedures in which an X-ray contrast medium is injected intravenously. A sequence of pre-contrast X-ray images are made during a period before the medium arrives in a blood vessel that is to be imaged and the sequence is continued through the post-contrast period and in some cases, an after-contrast period. A curve or plot of how projected intensity of the contrast medium varies as a function, h, at times (t) is determined at some prior time based on characteristic patients or, in the alternative, by using the post-contrast image data obtained from the patient presently undergoing examination. In either case a sequence of coefficients or weighting factors are produced that are proportioned to the value of the function h at the time (t) at which the corresponding image in the post-contrast sequence was acquired. By multiplying the coefficients and their time matched images, those images which have more contrast medium intensity get the most weight, which taken in conjunction with some image subtraction steps, results in maximizing contrast medium signal relative to noise and in utilizing all of the contrast medium signal.

    摘要: A computer tomography device in which the detectors are asymmetrically arranged with respect to the connecting line between the X-ray source, the center of rotation of the source, and the detectors, produce. The detector device produces an incomplete profile of measuring values which are supplemented with "zeros" during processing in order to form a number of measuring values of a complete profile. In order to avoid artefacts which are produced by the acute transients between measuring values and "zeros", a number of measuring values adjoining the acute transients are projected around the center of rotation and multipled by a factor so that from the zeros a smoothly increasing series of adapted measuring values is obtained.

    摘要: A thermal anemometer is employed to detect the velocity of the air flowing through a personal air sampling device. A microprocessor system is employed to periodically read the signal from the thermal anemometer and calculate the sample air flow rate. The measured flow rate is integrated over the sample period to provide an indication of the total volume of air sampled. Flow rates need not be calibrated during the sample period to insure accurate collection data, thus providing an automated and accurate means for measuring air quality.

    摘要: The present invention is intended to solve the problem of the reliable acquisition of accurate temperature data for a miniature calculator provided for the application of family planning methods. The calculator is provided with a receptacle removably carrying a thermometric probe for providing the temperature measurement in a digital form. The circuits of the probe comprise an oscillator including a temperature responsive resistance element to be placed in contact with the area of the temperature to be measured, Tx. The output frequency fx of this oscillator is a function of Tx, and is measured by a counter controlled by a signal formed from a reference frequency fr provided by a reference oscillator and further provided to a frequency divider. A comparator compares the contents of the counter to that of a memory, and in case the counter contents is higher than the stored contents, the comparator controls the entry thereof to the memory so that the probe operates as a maximum thermometer. The contents of the memory is read in serial fashion by the system of the calculator when the probe is replaced into its receptacle.

    摘要: In an apparatus for process analysis, a test substance is removed from the process stream by a probe and fed to an analysis instrument with a measured value display. Upstream of the analysis instrument, the test gas is conveyed through condensers. A monitoring unit is coupled to the analysis instruments and the processing chain without influencing the flow of data from the analysis instrument to the measured value display. The monitoring unit receives information about the entire apparatus via status sensors which are incorporated into the processing chain and into the analysis instrument. Depending on this information, the monitoring unit can intervene via solenoid valves, switches and motor potentiometers into the apparatus and alter its operation. The condition of the apparatus can also be displayed.

    摘要: An improvement is disclosed which is applicable to the method for constructing a two-dimensional representation of an object slice lying in a quasi-plane by positioning a radiation source providing a fan beam incident on the object, positioning detector means opposite the source and aligned therewith and lying in said quasi-plane for detecting radiation in said quasi-plane not absorbed or scattered by the object; effecting relative rotation between the object and the source-detector combination about an axis of rotation such that the source and detector means remain in the quasi-plane; effecting measuring projections from the source at a plurality of angular positions during the rotation to obtain a multiplicity of measured data readings from the detectors at each said projection; and reconstructing a two-dimensional representation of the object slice by convolving the data without reordering same, and scaling and back projecting same. Pursuant to the improvement, estimated detector data is generated at desired additional projection angles, by reflecting the measured detector data obtained during the said measuring projections, and the reconstruction step is performed utilizing both the measured and the estimated detector data.

    摘要: A computer is coupled to a suitable light microscope in a closed-loop feedback system which facilitates total intervention by the operator. A graphics display electronically produces an image having two components: one, an image of the data stored in the computer's memory; and two, a set of programmed procedures and instructions available to the operator for manipulating the microscope via the computer. The graphics display is juxtaposed to, and optically aligned with, a beam splitter incorporated in the microscope. As a result, the electronically-produced image of the graphics display is superimposed pictorially upon the optical image of a preparation carried on the slide mounted in the microscope's stage. Suitable means are provided to facilitate operator control and intervention. In one embodiment, this means comprises a graphics tablet, interfaced with the computer, and provided with a hand-held stylus. Using the stylus, the operator may selectively exercise command functions, enter selected data from the preparation, and retrieve data previously stored in the computer's memory, while simultaneously looking into the oculars of the microscope. In response to operator commands, the stage of the microscope is servo controlled by the computer in any desired coordinate system. In addition, a sensor is connected between the microscope and the computer for maintaining the constant magnification ratio that facilitates a continuous superposition of the graphics display image upon the preparation image. As a result, the computer microscope of the present invention constitutes a valuable research tool having flexibility and maximum utility at a relatively modest investment.
