An improved rescue device for locating persons buried by avalanches operates in either a transmit mode or a receive mode. A first belt terminator is lockably engagable with a first belt terminator receptor on a case, and is associated with a power switch. The power switch switches between a power on position and a power off position in response to the engagement and disengagement of the first belt terminator with the first belt terminator receptor, and preferably is also independently manually operable. A second belt terminator is lockably engagable with a second belt terminator receptor on the case, and is associated with a mode switch. The mode switch toggles between a transmit mode position and a receive mode position, and preferably is also independently manually operable. A signal processing system generates a visual display which provides graphic information to expedite searching. Prompt icons are displayed when a coarse search or a pin-point search should be conducted, when the stage of a multistage amplifier should be changed, or when the rescue device needs to be reoriented to obtain maximum signal strength. Preferably, the signal processing system also displays the signal strength as a bar graph and displays an estimated distance to the buried transmitter.

A de-convolution process is applied to an MR, CT or other image (25) of a scanned-object (23) to derive the point-spread function (22′) at an object-edge and to pin-point from the mid-point of its full-width-half-maximum FWHM, the location (30) of the true image-edge. With the object-image (25′) overlying the PSF function (22′) in the de-convolution space, sub-pixels which follow location (30) are transferred to before it to re-construct the image-edge (25′) for sharper conformity to the object-edge (23). Sharp definition of image-contour (37) facilitates accurate determination of area and volume of image profiles (35) and their segmentation. The accurate image-edge definition enables viable correction of geometrical distortion in stand-alone MR diagnosis and treatment planning.

A self-positioning and self-starting, tapered thread, orthodontic bone screw (25) for use in intra-oral corrections that serves as a craniomaxillofacial rigid post for orthodontic appliance fixation. The tip of the bone screw incorporates a defined sharp pin-point tack tip (2) to easily pierce the soft tissue and initially penetrate into the host bone for alignment and penetration. In series with the tack tip is a self-tapping, double, tapered thread (11) which allows an orthodontist to insert the bone screw post into the host bone in a single operation without the need for opening or flapping the surrounding soft tissue. As the bone screw penetrates the bone site, the tapered threads (24) allow for easy thread pick-up into the host bone while the increasing outer diameter of the thread (26) rigidly locks into the crestal bone. Once attached and fixated in the host bone, the distal cylindrical dome shaped driver head (12) acts as the fixation post for the anchorage of orthodontic appliances. Incorporated into the cylindrical dome shaped driver head are several attachment features including cross holes (13) and a snap-on undercut groove (19) for attaching orthodontic appliances either individually or simultaneously. The dome shaped head also incorporates a spline driver feature for easy pick-up, assembly and insertion of the screw with a corresponding spline driver tool (27) that allows the screw to be driven with either a standard square or cross slot driver feature.

The “Smart Tool” includes a “Smart Tool Probe” and two processing modules. The Smart Tool Probe is a hand held, wired or wireless, device that a surgeon utilizes for interrogating and identifying a tissue site, such as the entrance to a pedicle. The processing units, an Electro-Optical Control (EOC) Module and a CDS Module, provide control and display capabilities enabling real-time tissue site (such as vertebra bone) interrogation. The Smart Tool Probe utilizes a system of optical fibers that carry the interrogating optical signal sent by the light source(s) and the reflected optical signal back to the optical receivers. The light source(s) and light receivers are located in the EOC Module. The data received from the EOC Module are processed and converted into an image which is displayed on the screen in real-time. The software installed on the machine allows the surgeon to adjust / enhance the image properties to suit the selected requirements. This mode of operation provides interactive image sharpening (to adjust image sharpness), threshold control (to adjust image contrast), segmentation (to delineate the density map in the image), and image calculus (to pin-point the center of a particular region in the image).

This invention patent application describes mathematical methods to evaluate and validate the numbers in the conditional probability tables of a Bayesian network. Using the methods described here, the nodes of interest in the network could be evaluated for validity of the information they contain and errors could be detected by domain experts or knowledge engineers very easily. If there is a disagreement between knowledge engineers or domain experts belief of what the interaction should be and what is detected in the behavior of nodes selected for validation as shown in the reports, then, those errors could be easily located in the structure of the Bayesian network by pin pointing the table, column and row of the problematic cell. Then, the knowledge engineer or domain expert could modify the numbers to reflect the correct behavior. These methods also provide significant insight into the structure and efficiency of the structural design of the Bayesian network as well as value of information in the network. Using this information, hypothesis oriented application of Bayesian network is possible and evidence most relevant to the hypothesis of interest could be instantiated first. Additionally, the shortest path to rule-out or rule-in of a hypothesis could be known before the network is used. Applications of these methods in computer software could allow for streamlined and semi-automated design and validation process and construction of Bayesian networks. Furthermore, by using an almost reverse process, information about a domain can be captured and sorted lists prepared which in turn will be used to prepare a preliminary Bayesian network. Data elicitation using the network created in this fashion will complete the structure and probability tables of the Bayesian network.
