  • Patent number: 11948229
    Abstract: Embodiment of the present disclosure disclose a tomographic imaging system for reconstructing an image of an internal structure of an object. An incident wavefield is transmitted into the object occupying a background domain embedding the object. The incident wavefield is scattered into multiple scattered wavefield by the object. The incident and scattered wavefields are measured as a total wavefield. The total wavefield propagates through a computational domain and a residual domain in the background domain that are defined by cross-domain and residual measurement operators. The total wavefield is used for the image reconstruction. The image is reconstructed by solving an optimization problem corresponding to the computational domain. The optimization problem is solved iteratively to minimize a difference between the total wavefield and a wavefield synthesized using a measurement operator and a Green's function operator from the reconstructed image.

  • Patent number: 11947932
    Abstract: In programming environments, an object can be extended by adding a new property (subroutine) to the collection of the object properties. The properties of the object can be accessed using property access syntax. Extension property call is an innovation which allows the use of an object together with property access expression to access the properties (subroutines) that are not contained in the object itself, but which are contained in another object and are visible in the scope where the property access expression is used. The extension properties do not have special extension property definition syntax. Any regular property (subroutine) can be used as the extension property of the object if the property is visible in the scope where the property access expression is used. Extension property calls makes programming language code concise, improving code readability.
