  • Patent number: 12159378
    Abstract: Disclosed is a high-contrast minimum variance imaging method based on deep learning. For the problem of the poor performance of a traditional minimum variance imaging method in terms of ultrasonic image contrast, a deep neural network is applied in order to suppress an off-axis scattering signal in channel data received by an ultrasonic transducer, and after the deep neural network is combined with a minimum variance beamforming method, an ultrasonic image with a higher contrast can be obtained while the resolution performance of the minimum variance imaging method is maintained. In the present method, compared with the traditional minimum variance imaging method, after an apodization weight is calculated, channel data is first processed by using a deep neural network, and weighted stacking of the channel data is then carried out, so that the pixel value of a target imaging point is obtained, thereby forming a complete ultrasonic image.

  • Publication number: 20240392061
    Abstract: The present invention introduces ionic polymers featuring with a spiro structure, which enhances the solubility and gas permeability of the ionic polymer while maintaining excellent conductivity, mechanical properties, and dimensional stability. This is achieved by incorporating a spiro fragment with a large free volume into the polymer backbone. As a result, the gas permeability of the catalyst layer prepared from this ionic polymer is improved, making it suitable as a catalyst binder for proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) or anion exchange membrane fuel cells (AEMFCs). Furthermore, the electrochemical performance of the fuel cell is enhanced. Additionally, the proton exchange membrane and anion exchange membrane derived from this ionic polymer containing a spiro structure effectively improve the conductivity of both types of membranes by increasing the space volume due to the presence of the large free volume spiro fragment.
