A method and system are provided for effecting interactive, three-dimensional renderings of selected body organs for purposes of medical observation and diagnosis. A series of CT images of the selected body organs are acquired. The series of CT images is stacked to form a three-dimensional volume file. To facilitate interactive three-dimensional rendering, the three-dimensional volume file may be subjected to an optional dataset reduction procedure to reduce pixel resolution and / or to divide the three-dimensional volume file into selected subvolumes. From a selected volume or subvolume, the image of a selected body organ is segmented or isolated. A wireframe model of the segmented organ image is then generated to enable interactive, three-dimensional rendering of the selected organ.

In an aircraft galley, a power network distributes power from a source to electrical consuming devices (oven, water boiler, coffee machine, trash compactor, etc.). A control unit is connected to and can individually address each of the devices via a databus. The control unit compares the actual existing power consumption to a prescribed maximum value. If the actual consumption reaches the maximum value, the control unit calls up a power reduction procedure from a catalog in a database, and provides corresponding control signals to one or more of the devices to reduce the power consumption below the maximum value. The individual devices receive power in a time-sharing, power-sharing, or time-staggered manner. An intelligent distribution of available power resources avoids power overloads, and allows optimal utilization of all galley devices without limiting the normal catering process.

Byte or symbol organized linear block codes are optimized in terms of reducing the number of ones in their parity check matrices by means of symbol column transformations carried out by multiplication by non-singular matrices. Each optimized symbol column preferably, and probably necessarily, includes a submatrix which is the identity matrix which contributes to low weight check matrices and also to simplified decoding procedures and apparatus. Since circuit cost and layout area are proportional to the number of Exclusive-OR gates which is determined by the number of ones in the check matrix, it is seen that the reduction procedures carried out in accordance with the present invention solve significant problems that are particularly applicable in the utilization of byte organized semiconductor memory systems. Reduced weight coding systems are also generated in accordance with weight reducing procedures used in conjunction with modified Reed Solomon codes. The decoding and encoding methods and apparatus are extendable to the inclusion of any number of check symbols.

In a method and magnetic resonance (MR) apparatus for MR image reconstruction, an image reconstruction algorithm is used that operates on one calibration matrix that is formed by reorganizing a number of individual, undersampled k-space data sets respectively acquired by multiple reception coils in a parallel MR data acquisition from a subject exhibiting motion. The motion causes the k-space data sets to exhibit errors. In order to use the calibration matrix in the reconstruction algorithm, it is subjected to an iterative rank reduction procedure in which, in each iteration, a residual is calculated for each data point that represents how poorly, due to motion-induced corruptions, that data point satisfies the low rank constraint, and non-satisfying data points are removed from the data point for the next iteration. The resulting low rank matrix at the end of the iterations is then used to produce images with fewer motion-induced errors.
