  • Patent number: 11857372
    Abstract: A graphical user interface displayed by a processing device in operative communication with an ultrasound device may include a preset filter option that provides an easy way to switch between different presets which belong to a preset family. The user uses the preset filter feature to cycle through the different presets in the family while remaining on the same screen that is showing ultrasound images collected in real time. The imaging depth remains the same while the user is using the preset filter feature to select the preset within a family. Other settings such as time-gain compensation may not remain the same when cycling between presets. The preset filter feature allows a user to continuously view and assess the ultrasound images being collected in real time while cycling through the presets in the family.

  • Patent number: 11842236
    Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that select colors for visual markers that include colored markings encoding data. In some implementations, the colors are automatically or semi-automatically selected. In some implementations, the colors are selected to remain sufficiently detectable despite changes in lighting conditions or printing/display conditions. In some implementations, a set of colors selectable for use in a visual marker is obtained. Then, measures of distance between a plurality of colors of the set of colors is determined, and a subset of the set of colors for the visual marker is selected based on the measure of distance between colors of the subset of colors. In some implementations, the visual marker appearance includes graphical elements encoding data using the subset of colors. In some implementations, input is received using a GUI on a display to determine multiple colors based on a source image.

  • Patent number: 11775695
    Abstract: A system may be used to redact an image to be displayed by a display device. By intercepting a signal before an image of the signal is displayed on a display device, the display of confidential, sensitive and inappropriate information may be suppressed. More specifically, the image of the signal is analyzed using a content recognition algorithm to identify items of content, which may be redacted by modifying the signal. Using this concept, the image may be redacted by the display device, or by a port or adapter between a signal generator and the display device, without relying on redaction software local to the signal generation system.
