Publication number: 20240111009Abstract: Preventing blood flow artifacts from being increased in an imaging plane allows reduction of the blood flow artifacts in the cross section subsequently excited. In the imaging using a spin-echo (SE) pulse sequence, an excitation width of a 90° pulse is extended from an imaging plane to one side. This one side indicates a downstream side of the blood flow with respect to a vessel of interest. In imaging multiple slices, the order of measuring the multiple imaging slices is set along the direction in which the width is extended.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 15, 2023Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventors: Kazuho Kamba, Masahiro Takizawa, Taisei Ueda, Nobuyuki Yoshizawa, Atsushi Kuratani, Kosuke Ito

Patent number: 11929795Abstract: A reception-side apparatus includes: M receive antennas; and a processor configured to execute a first process of acquiring a first signal received from a first transmission-side apparatus from among signals simultaneously received from the N transmission-side apparatuses by receive diversity processing, and acquiring first data by demodulating and decoding the first signal. In the case of N>M, the processor acquires, for each of all patterns of a combination of a first signal, second signals from M?1 transmission-side apparatuses which are to be cancelled by receive diversity processing and third signals from N?M transmission-side apparatuses which are not to be cancelled by the receive diversity processing, a power ratio of power of the first signal relative to total power of the second and third signals based on a predetermined weight and a channel estimate of each signal, and selects a combination with the largest power ratio from among all the patterns.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2022Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Kenichi Takizawa, Masafumi Moriyama, Fumihide Kojima, Atsushi Kurosawa

Patent number: 11916581Abstract: A wireless communication control method suppresses interference using an MMSE weight in an environment of wireless communication where the number of transmission stations transmitting a signal to a receiving station is larger than the number of reception antennas of the receiving station. The receiving station calculates power of an interference signal included in a signal received by the receiving station from the transmission stations the number of which is larger than the number of reception antennas, the interference signal corresponding to a part by which the number of transmission stations exceeds the number of reception antennas. The receiving station calculates the MMSE weight depending on the power of the interference signal, recalculates the power of the interference signal using the MMSE weight, and recalculates the MMSE weight depending on the recalculated power of the interference signal.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2022Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Kenichi Takizawa, Masafumi Moriyama, Fumihide Kojima, Atsushi Kurosawa

Patent number: 10629107Abstract: An information processing apparatus generates a reference image including information to be presented to a user in accordance with a first attitude of an HMD identified at a first point in time. Based on the difference between the first attitude and a second attitude of the HMD identified at a second point in time after the first point in time, the information processing apparatus generates from the reference image a display image to be displayed on the HMD. Upon generation of the display image, the later the timing for displaying a specific image in the display image displayed on the HMD, the larger the amount of displacement is made by the information processing apparatus between the position of the specific pixel in the display image and the position of a corresponding image in the reference image serving as the source from which to set the pixel value of the specific pixel.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2016Date of Patent: April 21, 2020Assignee: Sony Interactive Entertainment Inc.Inventors: Takashi Yamamoto, Takakazu Ikeda, Atsushi Takizawa, Kenichiro Yokota

Patent number: 10607417Abstract: A position/posture acquiring unit of image generating apparatus acquires information on the position and posture of the head of a user. A view screen control unit sets a view screen according to the point of view of a user. An original image operating unit disposes an original image in a virtual space and moves the position thereof in response to movement of the point of view of the user. In addition, the original image operating unit calculates the amount of displacement of pixels in such a manner that an object looks fixed. Thereby, the original image operating unit sets a reference vector for each pixel of the image plane. The original image operating unit decides the reference vector by interpolation regarding a pixel for which the reference vector is not set. A displayed image generating unit carries out mapping of the original image onto the view screen by using the obtained reference vectors to generate a displayed image. An output unit outputs the displayed image.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2017Date of Patent: March 31, 2020Assignee: Sony Interactive Entertainment inc.Inventors: Nobuo Sasaki, Atsushi Takizawa
