But at 2,300 pounds, Layla was too heavy to move into the animal hospital at Brookfield Zoo outside Chicago. However, the vets at the Chicago Zoological Society had another idea: put Layla in a portable CT scanner that they could bring right to her enclosure.
A company called NeuroLogica agreed to let the Chicago Zoological Society borrow their BodyTom, a battery-powered portable 32-slice CT scanner, according to a press release. The staff then launched a project to solve the unique problem of CT-scanning a rhino, which had likely never been done before.
In December 2017, vets diagnosed Layla with a growth in her nose that made it hard for her to breathe. The growth was treated with medicine and surgery, and she is continually undergoing treatment to keep the growth manageable. However, veterinarians wanted to use a CT scanner to find the source and extent of the infection so they could remove all of it.
Veterinarians and technicians practiced getting such a heavy load onto the scanner with 2,300 pounds of concrete. Scanning the real Layla required carpenters to custom-make a platform, 40 zoo staff to take care of her during the scan, as well as technicians from NeuroLogica.
After Layla was scanned, she rested in a private area. Veterinarians examined the images and finally found the source of the infection: abnormal tissue by the root of one of her upper molars. Vets plan to remove all the abnormal tissue so that Layla doesn't have to deal with the obstruction again.
this is what it looks like. I have a 3D scan of a full face helmet with compound curves. I created a grid from planar curves and projected it onto the surface. I then created a surface from a curve network. the surface is a mess. How do I simplify the projected curves?
I do not have experience in working with rhino so I do not know if there is a simple solution . I think that the only solution would be to build a complex string parsing method that will check what precedes the percentage and to reformat it . Is there any other way regarding rhino ?
Since the meaning of % is context dependent, I don't think there's any easy way to use Rhino (vanilla javascript) to solve it. You need to parse it or find a library that will parse it. You can use javascript libraries with Rhino -engine.rhino/c/fS8KQelY0bs
Third of all, elements in the structure can be automatically generated and updated based on the parameter values. This gives the possibility to engineers iterate effortlessly through different design alternatives. This is a new design process called Value Engineering. Designers can easily test or discover solutions they may otherwise not have had time to consider. This approach provides a better service to the client and the design team.
Moreover, if you combine parametric possibilities additionally with a genetic solver (Galapagos/Octopus), complex optimisations can be automated. Computers can go through thousands of designs and, based on the results, choose the most optimal one that suits our demand. Designers can choose from several optimization targets such as: material usage, cost or choose the most sustainable solution.
Oasys has recently released Grasshopper plugins for GSA and AdSec. These plugins wrap the .NET API for the software for Grasshopper, essentially running the programs headless within the Rhino/Grasshopper proces, thus bringing the solvers of these software within Grasshopper. It is possible to parametrically create, edit and analyse complete GSA models using Grasshopper, and you can also save or open existing models. The plugins come with post processing components to visualise and extract the analysis results.
Using the script (Github available here), it is possible to detect what users have access to what privilege escalation methods in an AWS environment. It can be run against any single user or every user in the account if the access keys being used have IAM read access. Results output is in csv, including a breakdown of users scanned and the privilege escalation methods they are vulnerable to.
Here is an example .csv output of the aws_escalate.py scan I ran against a test environment. This sandbox environment has 10 separate IAM users, two of which already have administrator privileges (Dave and Spencer) and two are not vulnerable to any of the privilege escalation methods (Bill and BurpS3Checker).
One of these modules will be a similar privilege escalation scanner, with the option to exploit any vulnerable account automatically. This following video shows Pacu identifying a privilege escalation route and exploiting it for immediate AWS administrator access.
The vector displacement of the rhino from camera O is approximately (-2.69 km, -0.85 km). This means that the rhino has traveled approximately 2.69 km westward and 0.85 km southward from camera O.
a) The displacement of the rhino can be determined using the head-tail method. The first step is to represent the three vectors on a coordinate system. The initial vector represents the 18.0 km westward movement, the second vector represents the 16.0 km at 15 east of north, and the third vector represents the 5 km southward movement.

HP's notebooks sometimes use a fingerprint scanning product developed by DigitalPersona. Their scanning product causes the same button tooltip problem on flyout toolbars on Rhino 4.0 that is normally caused by Vista/Windows 7's Tablet PC components when a tablet is installed. If turning off Tablet PC components doesn't solve the problem, check the computer for a fingerprint scanner or any related applications, especially the ones that come from DigitalPersona.
A case we have from a user on 21-Jan-2011 was a HP TouchSmart tm2-2012tx. It has HP SimplePass Identity Protection installed that installs applications from DigitalPersona. The application that causes the problem is C:\Program Files (x86)\DigitalPersona\Bin\DPAgent.exe. To solve the problem, turn the DpAgent.exe *32 off from the Windows Task Manager. Rename it with a different name to prevent it from running automatically when Windows starts.
I noticed that the 120 film did not lie flat in the holder and refused to lie flat. It had quite a buckle, in fact. I got soft, fuzzy scans of my sharp negs. Frequently, I exhale very gently onto the emulsion side of my 120 film to get it a little flatter. The emulsion side is up, by the way. This did no good either doing it before I closed the holder or after.
I clipped the strip of film to just the one frame I wanted to scan and trimmed the width of it by a millimeter or two and then it fit and lay flat. This is a solution that works but it is disconcerting. It is a pain in the butt and it seems someone (other than myself) screwed up.
Is my Ilford film a millimeter too wide or is my Epson 750 film holder a millimeter too narrow. It sounds absurd but this is the difference between sharp scans and lousy scans. I do NOT want to have to trim every frame I scan!
Its a common problem and why drum scanners have, well drums you can wrap the film around tightly. Many such scanners as you're using try to get away by using wider depth of field but as we all know, there's only really one sharp point of focus. That said, I believe you can get a gel mounting kit that will solve this and a host of other problems like dust, newton rings etc. A bit messy but the results are vastly superior scans.
Peter, I have the same scanner. The Epson holders not only don't hold the film flat, they rarely can be adjusted to the exact focus point of the scanner. Solution: Doug Fishers ajustable film holder found here:
I've never had a film that didn't fit in the holders. I have had some that is very curly though. One solution is to get the betterscanning holders. If you want something cheaper, get a piece of anti-reflective glass cut to fit into the film holder channels.
Another common cause for this HTTP response code is a corrupt or misconfigured .htaccess file. If this is the case, the 403 Forbidden error usually appears after making changes to .htaccess. Usually, users can resolve this by creating a new .htaccess file or correcting its settings.
Since file permissions and ownership issues commonly cause HTTP 403 Forbidden, it will be our primary focus when troubleshooting this error. However, we will first explore some quick possible fixes, such as clearing the browser cache or scanning for malware.
Hostinger has a built-in AI Troubleshooter on hPanel that can help you find the root cause of the 403 Forbidden error. This tool works for WordPress websites and will suggest actions to resolve the error. Here are the steps to use the AI Troubleshooter:
FreeCAD works but the drawback is that the IGES- or STEP-model is still a facet model with flat, triangular, first degree NURBS surfaces. The end result is a model with just as many facets as the original model. It's completely identical in shape to the original. That's fine if you don't mind but if you want a smooth model with less surface patches this is not the way. I find this cheating. Adding wall thickness to such a model normally fails because mesh surfaces are noisy, not smooth. Especially scanned meshes.

Chronic sinusitis is a long-standing inflammation of your sinuses that lasts for 12 weeks or longer at a time. Sinusitis is also known as rhinosinusitis (rhino means nose). So, we use the two terms interchangeably. When inflamed, nasal passages and sinuses become swollen and blocked. Chronic sinusitis interferes with the normal drainage of the mucus. Too much mucus builds up in your nose and sinuses, making them stuffy.
