(AP) — The use of computers to create three-dimensional pictures has received a boost from recent breakthroughs that cut the time needed to display or change a design from several hours to a fraction of a second. The improvement will save millions of dollars by speeding manufacturing design and making planners more productive. It also might help save lives. In a test of the new system, Northrop Corp., the airplane maker, was able to reduce the time needed for designing metal tubing from six weeks to 18 minutes. Among the companies that are developing the faster design systems are Silicon Graphics Inc. of Mountain View, Calif., and Phoenix Data Systems Inc: of Albany. Currently, the main product of Phoenix Data, a seven-year-old private company with annual sales of $15 million, is a software package used by leading computer builders to test microchip designs. But the breakthrough is a system called INSIGHT. It can help design something as big as an oil refinery’s piping scheme or as small as a pair of eyeglasses, officials said in recent interviews. “It is very versatile and that is a key point,” said Dr. Allen Baisuck, 40, a Phoenix vice-president and a former engineering faculty member at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, N.Y. “You can dissect a carburetor or a INSIGHT's key part is called a solids engine, for which a patent is pending, company spokesman Mark Thurman said. It arranges thousands of numerical co-ordinatés into a picture fare more complex than previous computer-genera- ted diagrams, producing exact representations of almost anything. A brain surgeon visiting Albany recently took a look at a3-D image created by the system from 64 CAT scans of a patient's brain. Based on the information he had had earlier, the surgeon had decided not to operate on a brain tumor in the young woman, who subsequently died. After looking at the 3-D image, the surgeon, who asked to remain anonymous, said: “Oh, my God.

I'll have to show the judges a better Brian Orser than they saw here. Hamilton won his fourth consecutive men's title Friday night.

Next year, I hope to be a few spots higher in the figures, which will give me a better chance to be first overall.” Orser says he's going to attempt to become the first skater to complete a quadruple ip in competition. The victory for Washington, 91-1 during March, increased its point total to a club-record 96 and forged a first-place tie with New York Islanders, who played Minnesota North Stars in a night game. Riggin, who lowered his goals-against average to 2.78, required only 18 saves to tie teammate A] Jensen for the NHL lead in shutouts. Barry Pederson and Raymond Bourque scored the other Bostan goals, while Bobby Smith and Mats Naslund, with his 29th, a power-play effort with 1:43 to play, replied for Montreal.

The loss was the fourth in a row for the Devils and it was the seventh win in the last eight games for Buffalo. Barrasso 24 shots to gain the shutout.

The teams travel to Chicago for a rematch tonight. Jim Korn, Terry Martin, Walt Podduby and Dave Farrish were the other Toronto marksmen.

Besides Hamilton, Rudi Cerne of West Germany, second to Hamilton in the figures, also is retiring. Orser, coached by Doug Leigh of the Mariposa Winter Club in Orillia, Ont., has charted a direct route to the top. He was sixth in his debut in 1981, fourth in 1962, not copy anyone else.
