  • Patent number: 10832048
    Abstract: Disclosed is a new document processing solution that combines the powers of machine learning and deep learning and leverages the knowledge of a knowledge base. Textual information in an input image of a document can be converted to semantic information utilizing the knowledge base. A semantic image can then be generated utilizing the semantic information and geometries of the textual information. The semantic information can be coded by semantic type determined utilizing the knowledge base and positioned in the semantic image utilizing the geometries of the textual information. A region-based convolutional neural network (R-CNN) can be trained to extract regions from the semantic image utilizing the coded semantic information and the geometries. The regions can be mapped to the textual information for classification/data extraction. With semantic images, the number of samples and time needed to train the R-CNN for document processing can be significantly reduced.

  • Patent number: 10772581
    Abstract: A radiation tomograph whereby the acquisition of transmission data and the measurement of annihilation radiation pairs are simultaneously performed by a single detector ring so as to realize both reduction of the manufacturing cost of a PET device and reduction of a burden to a subject. The transmission data, which shows the distribution of annihilation radiation absorption characteristics within a subject, is computed from data relating to annihilation radiation pairs in the vicinity of a surface of the subject. The transmission data can be acquired by detecting a radioactive drug derived from the subject, which makes imaging exclusively for transmission data unnecessary.

  • Patent number: 10750361
    Abstract: A basestation in a cellular communications network is operable to send a message to a Mobility Management Entity, relating to a suspension or resumption of a connection of a UE, wherein the message contains key renewal information. The Mobility Management Entity receives the message, and determines whether a key renewal condition is met. If the key renewal condition is met, the MME forwards a new NH, NCC pair to the base station. If a message received from the MME includes a NH, NCC pair, the basestation derives keying information using the NH, NCC pair for future use in deriving keys.
