Abstract: Smart vehicle-to-everything (V2X) preemptive connections for emergency and/or potential accident scenarios. A V2X-enabled vehicle may determine a current route of the vehicle and high-risk areas through which the vehicle may travel (e.g., a hospital zone, high pedestrian traffic area, etc.). The vehicle may determine a distance (d) from a beginning of the high-risk area and begin establishing a V2X connection upon reaching the determined distance. The V2X-enabled vehicle may also, or alternatively, pre-emptively establish a V2X connection upon detecting an event initiative of an emergency, a hazardous situation, or a potential emergency. Examples of such events may include a sharp turn, a vehicle speed exceeding a speed threshold, a sudden acceleration or declaration, etc. A preemptive V2X connection may, for example, enable vehicles to begin communicating with one another faster in case of a threat, emergency, or unsafe conditions for vehicles in the area.

Abstract: This invention provides methods for multi-stage hydroprocessing treatment of FCC naphthas for improving the overall production quantity of naphtha boiling-range materials during naphtha production for low sulfur gasolines. Of particular benefit of the present processes is the selective treating of cat naphthas to remove gums instead of undercutting the overall naphtha pool by lowering the end cutpoints of the cat naphtha fraction. This maximizes the amount of refinery cat naphtha that can be directed to the gasoline blending pool while eliminating existing processing problems in hydrodesulfurization units. The processes disclosed herein have the additional benefit of minimizing octane losses in the increased naphtha pool volume.

Abstract: A system and method is disclosed for rendering an ultrasound volume. An external image of an ultrasound volume is generated. A fractional part of the external image corresponds to a fractional portion of the ultrasound volume. A composite image of the ultrasound is generated using the external image, wherein the fractional part of the external image is replaced with an internal image of the ultrasound volume fractional portion. The internal image may be generated by changing a value of a visualization parameter used to generate the external image to a value more suitable for rendering an internal image. The ultrasound volume may include a organic structure, wherein the external image depicts an outer surface of the organic structure, and the internal image depicts a vascularity of the organic structure, such that the composite image simultaneously depicts both an outer surface and the vascularity of the organic structure.

Abstract: In an ultrasound imaging system, an ultrasound scanning assembly (USC) provides volume data (VD) resulting from a three-dimensional scan of a body (BDY). A region of interest detector (RDT) detects a region within the volume data (VD) characterized by a variation of at least one data parameter, which exceeds a margin. A slice generator (SLG) may then generates-slices (SX) from the region that has been detected. These slices (SX) can be displayed on a display device (DPL).

Abstract: An ultrasound imaging system (UIS) comprises a user interface (UIF) that allows an operator to request visual aid. In response to a request for visual aid, a controller (CTRL) retrieves from a database a visual representation of a preferred manner of applying a probe to a patient, and causes a display device (DPL) to render the visual representation. Preferably, but not necessarily, the controller (CTRL) detects a step of a workflow protocol program (WPP) that is being carried out. The controller (CTRL) then selects from the database a visual representation pertaining to the step that is being carried out.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for simplifying off-line quantification of ultrasound images by displaying a graphical user interface showing a real-time ultrasound image for enabling a user to freeze the real-time ultrasound image to display an image sequence capable of being modified and played back by the user. The graphical user interface displays graphs or curves providing data related to the ultrasound images. Each data point on the curves represents one ultrasound image of the ultrasound images. When the user selects a particular data point on a curve of a graph, the corresponding ultrasound image is displayed by the graphical user interface. The user can then select another data point on the same curve or another curve to display another corresponding ultrasound image. The two ultrasound image framescan then be compared.
