What is the Visible
Human Project® (VHP)?
The
VHP is the creation of complete, anatomically detailed, 3-D
representations of normal human bodies. Acquisition of transverse
CT, MR, and cryo-section images of representative male and
female cadavers has been completed.
The long-term goal of the VHP is to produce a system of
knowledge structures that will transparently link visual
knowledge forms to symbolic knowledge formats, such as the
names of body parts. For more information, see: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/research/visible/visible_human.html.

t
is a cakebox? It is a small, inexpensive PC
running Linux. It is configured such that, when you plug it
into a DHCP-enabled Ethernet port and give it power, it registers
its presence with an LDAP server where it logs its current
IP address so you can “find” it. You can then
connect to it remotely and run a series of network utilities
(like Iperf, traceroute, and pchar). Cakeboxes were developed
by Internet2 to test H.323 video conferencing capabilities
and have been used for a variety of other end-to-end performance
tests. Instructions on “building” a cakebox are
available to member institutions upon request.
