A method and an apparatus for automatic muscle segmentation are provided. The method includes receiving a high-resolution three-dimensional (3D) image obtained by a magnetic resonance imaging (MM) system and splitting the high-resolution 3D image into high-resolution 3D sub-images. Furthermore, the method includes acquiring low-resolution 3D sub-images of the high-resolution 3D sub-images and determining a boundary box within each corresponding low-resolution 3D sub-image. Moreover, the method includes determining a crop box for each boundary box, cropping each high-resolution 3D sub-image based on its corresponding crop box, and segmenting at least one muscle from the cropped box high-resolution 3D sub-image.

Improved bearing systems and methods for adjusting pivot offsets of bearing systems. The improved bearing systems and methods provide offset pivot adjustability. When an adjustable offset pad insert is installed one way, one pivot offset is set. The pivot offset may be adjusted and set another way by removing the adjustable offset pad insert, rotating it 180 degrees and installing the adjustable offset pad insert back in the journal pad.

A set of strings for a stringed musical instrument. Each string of the set is attached at one end to a bead to anchor the string in one of the bridge pins. The opposite end of the string is affixed to a pin having a diameter adapted to fit in the bore in a conventional post. The length of the string between the bead and the pin is at least equal to the distance between the bridge pin and the rotatable string post but not greater than the sum of said distance and the circumference of the post. Thus the post is tightened less than one revolution in order to tune the string.

A coat hanger having a paperboard sleeve on the lower run is provided with an elastomeric band and projecting guide located centrally of the sleeve and depending downwardly therefrom and in which the elongated runs of the band are arranged around the guide and cross over beneath the sleeve to tension the elongated band runs against the sleeve to clamp ties or the like to the sleeve.
