  • Publication number: 20240169526
    Abstract: The present disclosure is for a system and a method for artificial intelligence (AI) based review of radiologic images as they are being read by a radiologist. The AI review is performed through the use of screen sharing and screen capture approaches allowing an AI model to analyze images without direct access to the raw image files. The AI review may compare user documented findings with AI model-based findings in order to identify discrepancies between the two. The discrepancies can be used as feedback for retraining the model and/or as feedback to the user to aid in education or track and/or improve an individual's review characteristics.

  • Patent number: 10108751
    Abstract: An iterative method and system for performing the method are described that implement a technique to fit irregularly shaped items into a defined space. In particular, one example may take the form of a method including predetermining one or more layouts for a defined space. Each layout has a plurality of shapes. The method also includes receiving a set having a plurality of items and determining one or more configurations formed by assigning to each shape in the layout an item from the set. The items match the shapes to which they are assigned. Additionally, the method includes scoring each configuration and selecting one configuration based at least in part upon the scoring.

  • Patent number: 9252115
    Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for an improved semiconductor layout are described herein. Embodiments of the present invention provide a microelectronic device including a microelectronic die and one or more redistribution paths formed thereon for electrically interconnecting at least one bond pad with an exposed portion of the redistribution path. The redistribution paths, bond pads, and exposed portions may be configured to result in the device having a width narrowed by at least the width of the bond pads due to their absence on at least one edge.

  • Publication number: 20140245370
    Abstract: A stream of time-ordered data, such as a movie, is divided into multiple fragments of equal length, which are repetitively transmitted at different respective repetition rates. The fragments are reordered for transmission so that those which occur near the beginning of the original data stream are transmitted more frequently than those which occur later in the data stream. When a user enters a request to utilize the data, the individual fragments are stored upon receipt at the user's premises, and reassembled into a contiguous stream. The ordering of the fragments is such that the wait time required before utilization of the data can begin is limited to a predetermined maximum, and at least one copy of every fragment becomes available by the time it is needed.

  • Patent number: 8686547
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure describe a packaged semiconductor device that reduces stress on a semiconductor device caused by thermal expansion of the insulating material used in the packaged semiconductor device. In one embodiment, an inactive semiconductor device is coupled to the top of active semiconductor device. Both the inactive and active devices are encapsulated by the insulating material. The configuration of the inactive device is selected based on its ability to absorb the expansion of the insulating material at operating temperature.

  • Patent number: 7908247
    Abstract: A document management system enables multiple users to collaboratively contribute to the contents of a document via any suitable medium for transporting and storing documents, including email, shared drives, replicated work spaces and centralized storage systems. A tracking strategy is employed, in lieu of a central repository, that is based upon medium-independent versioning. Each version of a document that is created and saved by a user is given a unique identifier. The versions are submitted to a global service for ratification as the next authoritative version of a document. A submitted version that forms the next step in a linear sequence is ratified as the authoritative version of the document, whereas the version which does not meet this criterion becomes identified as a new document. Support is provided for users who create versions off-line, as well as users who are not subscribers to the system.
