Weight Watchers: A Value Opportunity Or A Value Trap? [View article]May 16, 2013. 01:45 PM | 0 Likes |Link to Comment
Weight Watchers: A Value Opportunity Or A Value Trap? [View article]
1) Sure, some fads come and go, but I think the bulk of my argument is not that a fad is going to hurt Weight Watchers. Rather, I simply pointed out that despite the success of Weight Watchers and the scientific validity of its diet programs, it has trouble insulating itself from fads. In addition, I mention its competitors only because Weight Watchers itself considers these companies as its competitors, not that any one of these companies is a significant threat.
2) You make several good points, but I think I do acknowledge the strength of Weight Watchers as an industry leader. While its management has been solid in the past, this has to be formulated into an actual argument about the potential upside of the stock. In retrospect, the share buyback doesn't look like such a smart decision. "40 is a buy and bargain" is not an argument.
3) You're right about eDiets.com. The second time it is mentioned in the article is a mistake.
4) My argument was never that DIY dieting is a new phenomenon. Rather, that DIY dieting is being made easier with smartphone applications which provide services which are more accurate than Weight Watchers for free. This means that DIY dieters, a growing and much larger market, will be captured. In my opinion, this is not a "fad." Never in the past have we had such easy methods to track nutrition and make decisions without the aid of a paid service. The Points system that Weight Watchers became famous for popular in large part because of maintaining accuracy while offering both convenience and consumer choice. Obviously Weight Watchers would leverage this trend, but my chief argument is that its rapid growth in the online segment is unsustainable, while its other segments are experiencing stagnant growth or decline. How do you think that WW can compete with free services that now offer exact nutrition data, are easy to use, and allow users to eat anything as long as they keep a calorie deficit?
Given your experience in the industry, I would love to read why you think WW is undervalued, and exactly how much upside it has. It seems like you have a lot more to add to this discussion.May 15, 2013. 11:20 AM | 0 Likes |Link to Comment

A Swanley teenager put her life in danger by swallowing class A drugs when arrested by police, a court heard.
Laura Pearson gulped down three wraps of heroin and one of cocaine - but she made herself sick soon afterwards and they were recovered.
The 18-year-old heroin addict had collected the drugs for her older boyfriend because he owed money to the dealer.
She was in the back of a car in Dartford on September 9 last year when officers carried out a search.
"She was seen to slip a small package in her mouth," prosecutor Trevor Wright told Maidstone Crown Court.
"She tried to keep it under her tongue. She was asked to spit it out but she gulped and swallowed it.
"She is confident she will not revisit her addiction. It is clear this is a very naive young woman..." - Nicholas Ostrowski, defending
"She was told that if it disintegrated in her stomach she could face serious health problems.
"She didn't want to go to hospital. She tried to make herself sick. She asked if she could have a cigarette.
"She went to the rear of the police car, put her fingers down her throat and vomited."
Officers then recovered the four wraps.
Pearson, of Sprucedale Close, admitted possessing drugs with intent to supply.
She paid £40 for the drugs and said she was going to pass them on to her 30-year-old boyfriend.
Sentencing her to eight months' youth custody, Judge Charles Macdonald QC told her: "There is mitigation to be found in the exploitation of your relationship."
Nicholas Ostrowski, defending, said Pearson was addressing her addiction.
She was reducing her methadone prescription and hoped to be free of the drug when released.
The relationship with her boyfriend was over and a non-molestation order was being sought to stop contact.
Pearson was serving a sentence for shoplifting. When freed she planned to live with her brother in Margate.
"She is confident she will not revisit her addiction," said Mr Ostrowski. "It is clear this is a very naive young woman."
Judge Macdonald said Pearson had sadly been an addict for much of her life.
"It has not been suggested to me that I should consider a community order, nor would I because you have a very bad record with engagement with the services who have tried to help you in the past," he told her.

Differential Pressure Meters
Differential pressure meters (DP) include orifice plates, venturi tubes, flow nozzles, cone types, Pitot tubes, target meters, elbow tap meters and rotameters. The basic operating principle of differential pressure flowmeters is that the pressure drop across the meter is proportional to the square
Pneumatic Feeders and Vacuum Feeders
Pneumatic feeders and vacuum feeders are also known as Venturi feeders, pneumatic dischargers, fluidizers, air slides, pneumatic injectors, vacuum loaders, pressure loaders and solids-handling eductors. Pneumatic feeders use pneumatic pressure to fluidize and push bulk materials to the process unit
Flow Nozzles
Flow nozzles are similar to Venturi tubes, but the nozzle opening is an elliptical restriction in the flow. There is no outlet area for pressure recovery and pressure loss is comparable to an orifice plate. Flow nozzles can handle both clean and dirty fluids; however, viscosity can pose a problem

The development of computed tomography (CT) technologies first pioneered by Hounsfield and Cormack were an important breakthrough in the field of radiology. CT scanners are now widely used for diagnostic medical imaging and industrial and security inspection applications. Micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) has recently emerged as a promising non-invasive imaging tool for biomedical research. It has been applied to the high-resolution imaging of bone structures and soft tissues (with the aid of contrast agents) of small animals. The typical design of a micro-CT scanner differs from other CT scanners in that typically the object, rather than the x-ray source, is rotated to collect the projection images for reconstruction. Cone-beam geometry and 2D x-ray detectors are commonly used such that the entire object can be directly reconstructed from a set of recorded 2D images.
The spatial resolution of the micro-CT scanner depends primarily on the x-ray focal spot size, the resolution of the detector, and the scanner geometry. The temporal resolution is determined by the x-ray exposure time and data collection speed of the detector. Although there have been significant innovations and improvements in the x-ray detection technology and imaging algorithms, the basic mechanism of generating x-ray radiation has remained the same. The limitations of the current micro-CT scanners, and to a large extent other CT systems, result primarily to the limitations of their x-ray sources.
Commercial x-ray sources typically use thermionic cathodes to generate the electrons used to produce x-ray radiation. The thermal process used in such devices has several inherent limitations including high operating temperature, slow response time, and the production of electrons having a random spatial distribution. The high operating temperature can result in a short cathode lifetime due to breakage of the cathode filament, and x-ray tubes requiring a large size. To provide the small focal spot size required for high spatial resolution, complicated electron optics are employed. As a result, micro-focus x-ray tubes are typically bulky, costly and have limited lifetime.
In addition to requiring high operating temperatures, thermionic emission is inherently a relatively slow emission process. Conventional x-ray tubes rely on mechanical shutters to switch on and off the x-ray exposure, which can result in slow response times. Grid-controlled x-ray tubes have been developed that provide improved response time and short x-ray pulse width, but the temporal resolution of such tubes is still limited and the x-ray waveform can not be easily programmed. The low temporal resolution and the large number of projection images required for reconstruction have prevented dynamic CT imaging of moving objects such as hearts which are important for diagnosis of coronary artery disease.
Although "ultra-fast" CT scanners such as the Dynamic Spatial Reconstructor and the electron-beam CT (EBCT) scanner with scanning time of less than 100 msec have been developed for such purposes, these systems can be much larger that other CT systems, limiting their availability for use. Recent research has shown that it is also possible to obtain dynamic information using conventional CT with spiral capability and fast rotation speed with electrocardiograph (ECG) triggering. But dynamic cardiac CT imaging has not been demonstrated using micro-CT scanners.
Electron field emission is a quantum process where under a sufficiently high external electrical field electrons can escape from the metal surface to the vacuum level by tunneling. Electron field emission is preferred to thermionic emission, as heating is not required and the emission current can be controlled by the external field to give instantaneous response time. In addition field emitted electrons are confined to a narrow cone angle along the electrical field direction, whereas thermal electrons can be spatially randomly distributed. The basic physics of field emission is summarized by the Fowler-Nordheim equation,
X-ray tubes using field emission cathodes have been investigated in the past. In the early systems, metal tips were used as the cathodes. Electrons were extracted by applying a pulsed high voltage between the target and cathode using Max generators, which use a series of discharging capacitors to generate the required threshold field. X-ray radiation is generated when the field emitted electrons bombard on target. The advantages of field emission x-ray tubes as compared to thermionic x-ray tubes in terms of their resolution and required exposure time have been demonstrated in clinical studies. The metal-tip emitters of these early systems were shown to be inefficient. The x-ray tubes were shown to have a limited lifetime of about 200 to 300 exposures, and exhibited slow repetition rates. In addition, with the diode configuration of the tubes, the acceleration voltage and the tube current could not be independently controlled. Field emission x-ray tubes using other types of emitters, such as the Spindt tips described above and diamond emitters, have also been investigated. The highest electron current demonstrated in these x-ray tubes has only been on the order of micro amps.
The carbon nanotube (CNT) is a relatively new carbon allotrope discovered about a decade ago. A CNT includes either a single graphene shell, referred to as a single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT), or multiple concentric graphene shells, referred to as multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWNT). CNTs are typically about 1–50 nm in diameter and 1–10 μm in length. Considerable progress has been made recently in the fabrication of CNTs with controlled structure and morphology. Technologies have been developed for assembly and integration of CNTs into device structures.
Research has shown that CNTs are promising electron field emitters. The atomically sharp tips and large aspect ratios (typically >103) of CNTs provide for large field enhancement factors (β), thus requiring lower threshold fields for emission than other types of emitters such as the Spindt tips. In addition, the field emitted electrons have been shown to have an energy spread of ˜0.5 eV and a spatial divergence angle in a direction parallel to the electrical field of less than 5� degree half angle. CNT emitters have been shown to be stable at high currents. For example, a stable emission current of >1 μA (>106 A/cm2 density) has been observed from an individual SWNT. Macroscopic cathodes have been demonstrated to emit stable emissions of over 200 mA from a 3 mm diameter sample under DC operating conditions, and a peak emission current of 3000 A from a 9 cm cathode at 1 μs pulse width at 200 KV anode voltage. These properties make the CNT emitters attractive for various device applications. For example, field emission flat panel displays (FEDs), lighting elements, and discharge tubes for over-voltage protection have been demonstrated having CNT-based "cold" cathode emitters.
Accordingly, a method and system are disclosed for computed tomography scanning system and method using a field emission x-ray source.
An exemplary micro computed tomography scanner comprises a micro-focus field emission x-ray source, an x-ray detector, an object stage placed between the x-ray source and the detector, an electronic control system and a computer that control the x-ray radiation and detector data collection, and computer software that reconstructs the three dimension image of the object using a series of projection images collected from different projection angles.
An exemplary method to obtain a computed tomography image of an object in oscillatory motion using the micro computed tomography scanner comprises at least the following steps: the control program reading the position of the object in oscillatory motion from a readout device, the control program activating the field emission x-ray source by sending a pulse voltage applied between the gate electrode and the cathode of the x-ray tube and by sending a signal to the x-ray detector when the object reaches a predetermined position, the field emission x-ray source producing a pulsed x-ray radiation with a predetermined pulse width defined by the width of the pulse voltage applied, the x-ray detector being activated for a fixed dwell time to collect the transmission image of the object formed by the said x-ray pulse, the x-ray source and detector then being switched off, the control program sending a signal to the object stage to rotate the object by a predetermined angular increment, repeating at least one of the above steps until a number of transmission images are collected from different viewing angles with the object in the same position in different periods of the motion, and reconstructing the computed tomography image of the object using the collected projection images.
The accompanying drawings provide visual representations which will be used to more fully describe the representative embodiments disclosed here and can be used by those skilled in the art to better understand them and their inherent advantages. In these drawings, like reference numerals identify corresponding elements, and:
Various aspects will now be described in connection with exemplary embodiments, including certain aspects described in terms of sequences of actions that can be performed by elements of a computer system. For example, it will be recognized that in each of the embodiments, the various actions can be performed by specialized circuits or circuitry (e.g., discrete and/or integrated logic gates interconnected to perform a specialized function), by program instructions being executed by one or more processors, or by a combination of both.
Thus, the various aspects can be embodied in many different forms, and all such forms are contemplated to be within the scope of what is described. For each of the various aspects, any such form of embodiment can be referred to here as "logic configured to" perform, or "logic that" performs a described action.
CNT-based field emission x-ray sources capable of producing sufficient flux for imaging human extremities are described in U.S. patent application Ser. Nos. 09/679,303 and 10/051,183. These field-emission x-ray tube sources include a triode-type structure with a CNT cathode, a gate electrode, and a metal target housed in a vacuum tube with a Be window. The electrons are extracted from the cathode by applying a gate voltage Vg between the cathode and gate, which are then accelerated by a high voltage Va between the gate and the target. The tube current and the acceleration voltage can be independently controlled. By replacing the DC gate voltage with an amplified signal from a function generator, electron emission and thus x-ray radiation having programmable waveform can be produced.
X-ray tubes having such designs can have the following characteristics:
These results demonstrate that a micro-focus x-ray source based on the field emission mechanism can offer advantages in several areas compared to thermionic emission micro-focus x-ray sources. These areas include:
Results show that the micro-CT described here can be used for dynamic cardiac and pulmonary imaging of small animals which can not be easily obtained using other micro-CT scanners. Compared to commercially available micro-CT scanners, advantages of this system include:
In addition, these commercially available micro-CT scanners typically use cone beam geometry and flat panel area detectors. A typical CMOS area detector can capture data at the maximum rate of 50 frames/second. Typical grid-controlled x-ray tubes operate at ˜100 ms pulse widths. Thus, it can be difficult to obtain dynamic cardiac CT images of small animals, such as mice, because during one exposure, the cardiac motion could undergo a full cycle of motion.
Using a system such as that described here, 10 μs x-ray pulses having rising/falling times of 1 μs are possible. Moreover, the described system can produce a field emission x-ray with 100 μm resolution that is, in turn, capable of generating CT-quality projection images of a mouse at 10 msec per frame at 45 kVp. The system x-ray source can deliver up to 1 mA anode current, enabling 1–10 msec per frame at 30 μm resolution. By combining ECG-gated triggering and the CMOS 2D x-ray detector, dynamic imaging of a full cycle of cardiac motion can be achieved in about 10 minutes.
According to an exemplary embodiment, a triode-type field-emission x-ray tube is described having a CNT-based electron field emission cathode in a dynamic vacuum chamber.
In one embodiment, cathodes 10 can have different emission areas with different emission rates. At any given time, only one field emission cathode emits electrons. A spatial resolution of x-ray source 2 can be changed by selecting a field emission cathode with a different emission area. The cathode is selected with a large emission area for low-resolution and high x-ray flux purpose. The cathode is selected with a small area for high resolution imaging.
The field emitted electrons from the CNT cathode have a very small divergent angle. In the triode-configuration, there is a one-to-one correspondence between the cathode size and target area bombarded by the electrons without any focusing. This is attributed to the very small intrinsic divergence angle of the field emitted electrons which is an advantage of the field-emission x-ray tubes.
The focal spot size of the above x-ray tube was measured using radiographs of a thin tungsten wire following the method described by the European Standard EN 12543-5. A fine W wire of known diameter was placed between the x-ray source and the detector, such as between source 2 and detector 25 shown in
Energy Spectrum
Energy spectrum measurements for a molybdenum target without filtering at 40 kV are shown in
Tube Current (Flux)
The maximum emission current density that can be achieved depends on several factors, including the total emission area, current, and the lifetime and pulse width required. In general, a higher current density can be achieved from a smaller cathode because sample uniformity becomes less of a contributing factor. This can aid in the performance of a micro-focus x-ray system such as that described here. The system described here demonstrated a stable emission at 6 mA from a 1 mm diameter cathode (750 mA/cm2) at 40 KVp anode. This remains far below the theoretical limit of emission from CNTs. For example, experiments have been shown to produce 1 μs-width, 3000 Ampere current from a 9 cm diameter cathode at 220 KVp, albeit at a much reduced life-time.
High Voltage Stability
Due to hardware limitations, the maximum operating voltage of the current testing system used to characterize the described device is limited to 60 KVp anode voltage. Under these conditions, the emission current remains stable. No ion-sputtering related damage was observed. Measurements conducted at other facilities have demonstrated electron emission at 220 KVp anode voltage in the diode configuration with the described device.
Programs for controlling the entire operation of the micro-CT scanner can be written using any suitable control language program, such as Labview. These programs can control system parameters such as the gate voltage, acceleration voltage, exposure time, pulse rate, rotation stage, and data readout. Moreover, an image reconstruction method, such as Feldkamp's method, can be implemented for reconstructing the acquired images. The described field emission micro-CT scanner of
Small Animal Imaging
Dynamic Imaging
To demonstrate the dynamic imaging capability of the system, a computer cooling fan rotating at ˜1000 RPM was imaged using the system shown in
Gated imaging can be readily achieved in the current system with the field-emission x-ray source and the digital imaging sensor which enables time-resolved studies, such as cardiovascular dynamics. In addition multiple exposures can be accumulated to increase the signal-to-noise ratio. This capability was demonstrated using a rotating blade of fan. As shown in
The executable instructions of a computer program for controlling the system shown in
As used here, a "computer readable medium" can be any means that can contain, store, communicate, propagate, or transport the program for use by or in connection with the instruction execution system, apparatus, or device. The computer readable medium can be, for example but not limited to, an electronic, magnetic, optical, electromagnetic, infrared, or semiconductor system, apparatus, device, or propagation medium, such as a removable storage device. More specific examples (a non exhaustive list) of the computer readable medium can include the following: an electrical connection having one or more wires, a portable computer diskette, a random access memory (RAM), a read only memory (ROM), an erasable programmable read only memory (EPROM or Flash memory), an optical fiber, and a portable compact disc read only memory (CDROM).
It will be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art that the concepts and techniques described here can be embodied in various specific forms without departing from the essential characteristics thereof. The presently disclosed embodiments are considered in all respects to be illustrative and not restrictive. The scope of the invention is indicated by the appended claims, rather than the foregoing description, and all changes that come within the meaning and range of equivalence thereof are intended to be embraced.
