Patent number: 9626780Abstract: Visualizing transactions in a transaction-based system includes displaying, on a display device, an x-y coordinate system including an x-axis and a y-axis, wherein the x-axis is demarcated in units of time and the y-axis is demarcated according to a transaction characteristic and formatting, using a processor, each of a plurality of transactions of a transaction system as a line having a start end representing a start of the transaction and a terminating end representing an end of the transaction. For each line representing a transaction, the start end of the line is located at a first x-coordinate corresponding to a start time of the transaction and a first y-coordinate of zero. For each line, the terminating end of the line is located at a second x-coordinate corresponding to an end time of the transaction and a second non-zero y-coordinate that is the same for each line. Each line is displayed on the display device using the processor in combination with the x-y coordinate system.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2014Date of Patent: April 18, 2017Assignee: XILINX, INC.Inventors: Yi-Hua E.

Patent number: 9610043Abstract: A method is disclosed for creating and outputting a masked parametric map that reflects parameters in a first parametric map and second parametric map. First and second parametric maps are generated, and then a masked parametric map that reflects parameters in the first and second parametric maps is generated. The first parametric map may be based upon portions of two optoacoustic images created using differing wavelengths of light. The first parametric map is reflective of areas within the volume of tissue that have a differing response to the longer wavelength light event compared to the shorter one. The second parametric map is reflective of areas within the volume of tissue that have a stronger response to the longer and shorter wavelength light events than the surrounding areas. A masked parametric map is output which is reflective of a combination of information in the first and second parametric maps.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2012Date of Patent: April 4, 2017Assignee: SENO MEDICAL INSTRUMENTS, INC.Inventors: Jason Zalev, Bryan Clingman

Patent number: 9600922Abstract: In an image processing apparatus, an extracting unit extracts mutually the same region of interest from each of a plurality of pieces of three-dimensional image data corresponding to mutually-different time phases. Further, a position determining unit determines, on the basis of feature points included in the pieces of three-dimensional image data, a position used for superimposing together the regions of interest extracted by the extracting unit from the pieces of three-dimensional image data, in substantially the same position of a subject. After that, a display controlling unit changes a display format of each of the regions of interest extracted by the extracting unit from the pieces of three-dimensional image data so as to be mutually different and causes a superimposed image to be displayed by superimposing the regions of interest together in the position determined by the position determining unit.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2014Date of Patent: March 21, 2017Assignee: Toshiba Medical Systems CorporationInventors: Shinsuke Tsukagoshi, Takashi Tsutsumi, Yasuko Fujisawa, Manabu Teshigawara, Akira Adachi
