A collar to be worn on an object or a large or small animal has been designed incorporating (D)GPS technology. The operation of the device includes programming the three dimensional boundary into the memory of the device and simply installing the collar on the animal. As the animal approaches the preprogrammed boundary, a first alarm sounds when the subject is within an arbitrary user defined distance, and a second more drastic alarm such as a shock correction is applied when the subject approaches a second position closer to the boundary. Means to easily program the device are also included in the system. The device has the capability to call or transmit important information such as location, speed, identity, and medical parameters etc to a station automatically or when polled. All necessary analog and digital circuitry, microprocessor, programming, communications hardware are integrated into the collar. The device also has applications in land, air and sea navigation, farming, construction, tracking stolen vehicles, and keeping track of children. This device could also be embedded in a specialized lawnmower that would know where your yard ended and your neighbor's began, and traverse around all obstacles in the yard. Important Military applications would include warning and directing soldiers of front line boundaries, minefield mapping and 3-D direction around MOA's for aircraft.

Computed tomography device comprising an x-ray source and an x-ray detecting unit. The x-ray source comprises a cathode with a plurality of individually programmable electron emitting units that each emit an electron upon an application of an electric field, an anode target that emits an x-ray upon impact by the emitted electron, and a collimator. Each electron emitting unit includes an electron field emitting material. The electron field emitting material includes a nanostructured material or a plurality of nanotubes or a plurality of nanowires. Computed tomography methods are also provided.

A micro-radiation therapy apparatus includes an isotope-based micro-radiotherapy brachytherapy small animal irradiator useful for radiating a biological system, the irradiator having an external radiation source proximate the biological system comprising a collimated radiation beam. A method of effectively irradiating at least one cell in a biological system includes applying micro-radiation from an isotope-based micro-radiation small animal irradiator, the irradiator having an external radiation source proximate the biological system including a collimated radiation beam to a target cell of the biological system.

The invention discloses a method for directional cross-border detection and mixing line detection in a video. The method includes the following steps of S1, inputting a monitoring video, S2, initializing the video, wherein the mixing line and an interesting region are set in the video, and the minimum filtering movement target area is selected according to the resolution ratio of the input video to be detected, S3, detecting the foreground, wherein movement targets are detected and tracked, and the movement target needing to be detected is filtered out, S4, carrying out mixing line detection or cross-border detection, wherein the cross-border detection comprises the two phenomena of intrusion detection and fleeing detection, S5, carrying out the S3 and the S4 repeatedly for every later new movement target. By means of the method for directional cross-border detection and mixing line detection in the video, the movement targets are filtered, targets which do not need to be detected such as birds and small animals are excluded, detection accuracy is improved, detections of leaving and the movement direction of the movement target can be achieved on the basis of mixing line detection and intrusion detection, detection is fully functional, and the method better meets actual application requirements.

This invention comprises a series of lightweight, easily transportable identical frame pieces attached together to form an expandable pet enclosure that can be assembled into a multiplicity of configurations, optionally with a floor or a roof that comprises the same frame pieces.
