Patent number: 9687210Abstract: A 3D ultrasonic diagnostic imaging system produces 3D cardiac images at a 3D frame rate of display which is equal to the acquisition rate of a 3D image dataset. The volumetric cardiac region being imaged is sparsely sub-sampled by separated scanning beams. Spatial locations between the beams are filled in with interpolated values or interleaved with acquired data values from other 3D scanning intervals depending upon the existence of motion in the image field. A plurality of different beam scanning patterns are used, different ones of which have different spatial locations where beams are located and beams are omitted. A sequence of different beam scanline patterns may be continuously repeated, or the patterns of the sequence synchronized with the cardiac phases such that, over a sequence of N heartbeats, the same respective phase is scanned by N different scanline patterns.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2011Date of Patent: June 27, 2017Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPES ELECTRONICS N.V.Inventors: David Prater, Stephen Watkins, William Robert Martin

Patent number: 8414138Abstract: The invention relates to an illumination device (1), comprising: at least one LED (3) having an emission maximum in a first wavelength range; at least one LED (2) having an emission maximum in a second wavelength range; and a wavelength converting material (5) arranged to receive light of at least said first light wavelength range and having an emission maximum in a third wavelength range which is between said first wavelength range and said second wavelength range. The illumination device according to the invention may provide white light of acceptable overall color rendering while producing particularly high saturation of selected colors.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 2009Date of Patent: April 9, 2013Assignee: Koninklijke Philipe Electronics N.V.Inventors: Egbert Lenderink, Marco Van As, Petrus J. M. Burgt

Patent number: 8390207Abstract: Lighting apparatus and methods employing LED light sources are described. The LED light sources are integrated with other components in the form of a luminaire or other general purpose lighting structure. Some of the lighting structures are formed as Parabolic Aluminum Reflector (PAR) luminaires, allowing them to be inserted into conventional sockets. The lighting structures display beneficial operating characteristics, such as efficient operation, high thermal dissipation, high output, and good color mixing.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 2008Date of Patent: March 5, 2013Assignee: Koninklijke Philipe Electronics N.V.Inventors: Kevin J. Dowling, Ihor A. Lys, Brian Roberge, Ryan C. Williamson, Ron Roberts, Michael Datta, Tomas Mollnow, Frederick M. Morgan

Patent number: 8314586Abstract: The adapting system for a resonant drive appliance includes a circuit for measuring the back EMF induced in the stator coil of the motor following turn-off of the appliance. The frequency of the back EMF signal is determined from the zero crossings of the EMF signal. The determined frequency is then compared with a running average of previous frequency determinations, and the drive frequency of the appliance is adjusted if the difference between the compared frequencies is greater than a threshold value, e.g. 1 Hz.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2007Date of Patent: November 20, 2012Assignee: Koninklijke Philipes Electronics N.V.Inventors: Ari Lumbantobing, Kevin Miller, Meindert Norg, Pieter Johannes Bax

Patent number: 8247831Abstract: A side-emitting light emitting device (100) is provided, comprising a substrate (101), a reflector (102) arranged spaced apart from said substrate (101) and extending along the extension of said substrate, and at least one light emitting diode (103) arranged on said substrate and facing said reflector, said substrate (101) and reflector (102) delimiting a wave guiding region (104) for light emitted by said at least one light emitting diode (103). Further, a wavelength converting material (105) is arranged at the lateral edge of said wave guiding region (104). The invention provides a compact side emitter with controlled color emission.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2008Date of Patent: August 21, 2012Assignee: Koninklijke Philipe Electronics N.V.Inventor: Hendrik Johannes Boudewijn Jagt

Publication number: 20060020989Abstract: The invention proposes a video distribution method for distributing a video divided into a plurality of spatial pieces encoded separately as independent video streams. For example such a decomposition of a video may be obtained by using the MPEG-4 standard. The distribution method of the invention comprises:—a step of transmitting a plurality of video streams to one or more users, freely and at different times,—a step of conditionally offering at least one other video stream, to one or more users,—a step of transmitting said other video stream to the user(s) who accepted said conditional offer.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 21, 2003Publication date: January 26, 2006Applicant: Koninklijke Philipe Electronics N.V.Inventor: Veronique Brun
