  • Publication number: 20240032890
    Abstract: A method of estimating gestational age (GA) is shown generally at 3000. At Step 3010 an ultrasound image is acquired. The image is fed into the model at Step 3020 and a predicted GA value, together with an associated confidence interval are calculated at Step 3030. At Step 3040 it is determined whether the confidence interval is narrower than a value for the best confidence interval obtained. If not, the ultrasound operation is optionally directed to acquire an ultrasound image of a particular plane in the fetus at Step 3050. On the other hand, if the value is determined to be narrower than the best obtained at Step 3040, the predicted value and confidence interval are displayed at Step 3060 and a register for the value of the best confidence interval is updated at Step 3070.

  • Publication number: 20130298280
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an inbred sunflower line, designated OIN807A/B. The invention relates to the seeds of inbred sunflower line OIN807A/B, to the plants of inbred sunflower line OIN807A/B and to the methods for producing a sunflower plant, either inbred or hybrid, by crossing the inbred line OIN807A/B with itself or another sunflower line. The invention further relates to methods for producing a sunflower plant containing in its genetic material one or more transgenes and to the transgenic plants produced by that method and to methods for producing other inbred sunflower lines derived from the inbred OIN807A/B.
