Publication number: 20240108225Abstract: A noncontact, multi-wavelength time-resolved laser speckle contrast imaging (MTR-LSCI) technique provides for continuous, fast and high-resolution 2D mapping of tissue blood flow (BF) and tissue blood oxygen saturation (StO2) at different depths of target tissue. MTR-LSCI illuminates the tissue with picosecond-pulsed, coherent, widefield light at least at two different wavelengths in the near-infrared range (600-1100 nm) and synchronizes a high-resolution, gated single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) camera to capture BF and StO2 maps at different depths of target tissue, wherein the imaging depth depends on light propagation inside a tissue volume, captured by the time-gated camera. The reconstruction of BF and StO2 maps can be dramatically expedited by incorporating highly parallelized computation and convolution functions. The performance of MTR-LSCI was evaluated using head-simulating phantoms with known properties and in-vivo rodents with varied hemodynamic challenges to the brain.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 22, 2023Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventors: Guoqiang Yu, Faraneh Fathi, Chong Huang, Siavash Mazdeyasna, Mingjun Zhao, Lei Chen

Publication number: 20240111062Abstract: Disclosed is a polarization fusion orientation method for an occluded environment, which comprises: acquiring a sky polarization image through a polarization camera first, then taking a heading angle output by an E-vector polarization orientation method as a state quantity, taking a heading angle output by a symmetry axis polarization orientation method as an observed quantity, realizing heading angle fusion through a multi-frequency variational Bayesian strong tracking cubature Kalman filter (MF-VBSTCKF), and respectively selecting different methods for a sampling position and a sampling interval period to update an optimal heading angle. The method solves the problem that high-precision and high-robustness heading angle measurement of polarized light cannot be realized in the occluded environment, can improve the precision and robustness of a polarized light orientation method in the occluded environment, and ensures high-frequency output of the heading angle at the same time.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 12, 2023Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventors: Chong SHEN, Huijun ZHAO, Jun LIU, Jun TANG, Huiliang CAO, Chenguang WANG

Publication number: 20230109530Abstract: A distributed storage system may synchronously apply an Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) policy to objects at ingest. In one embodiment of synchronous ILM, three options are available for a user: balanced, strict, and dual commit. Dual commit refers to the behavior where one will always create two replicated copies in the same site and then apply ILM asynchronously. Strict refers to the behavior where the storage system attempts to apply the ILM policy synchronously on ingest, and if the storage system cannot the ingest of the object will fail. This ensures that the storage system can guarantee that ILM has been applied to recently ingested objects. Balanced refers to the behavior where the storage system attempts to apply ILM synchronously, but if the storage system cannot the storage system may fall-back to dual-commit.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 12, 2022Publication date: April 6, 2023Inventors: Robin Mahony, Oliver Seiler, Blake Edwards, Vladimir Avram, Gregory Kent, Chong Zhao
