  • Patent number: 12219475
    Abstract: Within many applications impulse radio based ultra-wideband (IR-UWB) transmission offers significant benefits for very short range high data rate communications when compared with existing standards and protocols. In many of these applications the main design goals are very low power consumption and very low complexity design for easy integration and cost reduction. Digitally programmable IR-UWB transmitters using an on-off keying modulation scheme on a 0.13 microns CMOS process operating on 1.2V supply and yielding power consumption as low as 0.9 mW at a 10 Mbps data rate with dynamic power control are enabled. The IR-UWB transmitters support new frequency hopping techniques providing more efficient spectrum usage and dynamic allocation of the spectrum when transmitting in highly congested frequency bands. Biphasic scrambling is also introduced for spectral line reduction.

  • Patent number: 12205709
    Abstract: Each of a first server installed inside a medical institution and a second server installed on a network outside the medical institution includes a server program that receives a processing request for a medical image and that outputs a processing result by executing image processing corresponding to the processing request. An image processing distributor calculates a processing waiting time required until the processing result is obtained in a case where each server executes the image processing on the medical image, based on a required time required for executing the image processing on the medical image, a network connecting situation, and the number of processing requests in a processing waiting state inside each server, and transmits the processing request for the medical image to a server having a shorter processing waiting time.

  • Patent number: 12190522
    Abstract: Disclosed is a computer-implemented method of segmenting a medical patient image using an atlas and relating the segmentation result to a model of possible geometric changes to the segmentation result (e.g. for correcting the position of the segmentation of anatomical structures) which consider for example anatomical limitations. The thus-related segmentation result may be used as a basis for changing and/or correcting the position, shape and/or orientation of at least parts of the segmentation result, e.g. by user interaction. The invention also relates to an atlas data set comprising information such as values of the variables of the model of possible geometric changes in relation to the positions of anatomical structures in the atlas.

  • Patent number: 12190574
    Abstract: Object parts (20, 21, 22, 23, 24) are detected in a picture using object detector(s) (3) and part location representations (40, 42, 43, 44) are generated for the detected object parts (20, 22, 23, 24). The size of an object (10) comprising object parts (20, 21, 22, 23, 24) is estimated based on a geometric model and the part location representations (40, 42, 43, 44). Search locations (51) in the picture for a search window (52) having a size based on the estimated size are determined based on the part location representations (40, 42, 43, 44). The search locations (51) are then processed by identifying any detected object part (20, 22, 23) that is within the search window (52) positioned at the search location (51). A homography is estimated by minimizing an error between mapped object part(s) from the geometric model and the identified detected object part(s) (20, 22, 23). If the error is smaller than a threshold value, an object location representation is determined for the object (10).
