Methods： 106 patients with pathologically confirmed lung cancer received spiral CT examinations with a new revised TNM staging method of lung cancer which was taken as criterion of diagnosis. The images were reconstructed by using different postprocessing techniques such as MPR, MIP, SSD, VR, and their TNM staging capabilities were assessed by using postprocessing imaging and the results with axial CT images were compared. Results： In T staging, the accurate rates of axial CT images in T1-T4 staging were 77.3%, 60.6%, 60.7%, and 60.3% respectively; for postprocessing images, the accurate rates were 86.4%, 90.9%, 89.3%, and 87.0% respectively, In N staging, the accurate rates of axial CT images were 84.6%, 68.1%, 63.6%, and 64.2% in N0-N3 staging, respectively; but they were 92.3%, 90.9%, 90.9%, and 85.7% in postprocessing images, respectively. The postprocessing images were superior to axial CT images in T1-T3 and N1-N3 staging of lung cancer but there were no significant differences in T1 and NO staging. For metastasis, the postprocessing images may be helpful for the TNM staging of lung cancer. Conclusion： The postprocessing techniques of the spiral CT could improve the accurate rates of TNM staging of lung cancer, and represent a useful complement to the axial CT.展开更多

It is necessary to fit workpiece beyond twice and to lead to low machining precision. Therefore the seven-axis linkage PKM is implemented by fixing a turntable on the worktable of the six-axis linkage PKM. However, the turntable angle decomposing problem from the CL file should be well considered. If the traditional decomposing methods are adopted, the nutation angle usually goes beyond the workspace of the machine. Therefore, according to the relation of the machine coordinate system and the workpiece coordinate system, the turntable angle decomposition algorithmic of the consistent coordinate system and the turntable angle decomposition algorithmic of the non-consistent coordinate system are developed to resolve the problem mentioned above. The turntable angle decomposition of the non-consistent coordinate system processes the decomposition which is based on the consistent coordinate system again. It calculates the initial angle of the locating workpiece, and the decomposed angle of the turntable at the machine coordinate system results in the nutation angle not going beyond workspace of the machine, thereby the decomposition process can be simplified.展开更多

The subsequently deposited SiO2 coatings are researched to clarify the impact of substrate finishing technology on the coatings. It is revealed that a deep removal proceeding from the single side or double side had a significant impact on the laser-induced damage threshold （LIDT） of the fused silica, especially for the rear surface. After the deep etching, the MRF process that followed does not actually increase the LIDT, but it does ameliorate the surface qualities without additional LIDT degradation. The combination guarantee both the integrity of the surface＇s finish and the laser damage resistance of the fused silica and subsequent SiO2 coatings.展开更多
