OBJECTIVE To investigate clinical features and ultrasound findings in cases of placental site trophoblastic tumor (PSTT). METHODS Fourteen cases of PSTT treated at our institution between May 2004 and October 2010 were identified and the clinical features and findings on transvaginal sonography (TVS) were investigated. Pathological confirmation of PSTT was obtained in all cases. RESULTS The...

This work-in-progress paper previews how we can design interfaces and interactions for multi-view TVs, enabling users to transition between independent and shared activities, gain casual awareness of others’ activities, and collaborate more effectively. We first compare an Android-based multi-user TV against both multi-screen and multi-view TVs in a collaborative movie browsing task, to determi...

This paper addresses the Target-Value Search (TVS) problem, which is the problem of finding a path between two nodes in a graph whose cost is as close as possible to a given target value T . This problem has been previously addressed only for directed acyclic graphs. In this work we develop the theory required to solve this problem optimally for any type of graphs. We modify traditional heurist...

INTRODUCTION THE market for LCDs (liquid crystal displays) continues to be characterized by rapidly falling prices and the use of LCDs in large-screen TVs (televisions). As LCD TVs become larger, it has become necessary for the production lines that manufacture them to adopt larger mother glass substrates and increase production speed both to increase screen size and reduce the production cost ...

A 1-D LED backlight scanning and a 2-D local dimming technique for large LCD TVs are presented. These techniques not only reduce the motion blur artifacts by means of impulse representation of images in video but also increase the static contrast ratio by means of local dimming in the image(s). Both techniques exploit a unique feature of LED backlight in large LCD TVs in which the whole panel i...

In the paper recent methods used in the task of speaker recognition are presented. At first, the extraction of so called i-vectors from GMM based supervectors is discussed. These i-vectors are of low dimension and lie in a subspace denoted as Total Variability Space (TVS). The focus of the paper is put on Probabilistic Linear Discriminant Analysis (PLDA), which is used as a generative model in ...

QLED TV is a new television technology that is taking many of its cues from OLED TV technology. It consists of extremely small light-emitting crystals called quantum dots. Most TVs today including all of those made by companies and just about every other TV brand are based on decades-old LCD, or liquid crystal display, technology. In the past few years’ Better technology and more advanced manuf...

This study in healthy subjects examined the effects of a system delivering focal microvibrations at high frequency (Equistasi®) on tonic vibration stimulus (TVS)-induced inhibition of the soleus muscle H reflex. Highfrequency microvibrations significantly increased the inhibitory effect of TVS on the H reflex for up to three minutes. Moreover, Equistasi® also significantly reduced alpha-motoneu...
