Abstract: Provided herein are methods for automated image quality control (QC). The method comprises: generating training data based at least in part on metadata obtained from a data augmentation process; training a model for a QC task based at least in part on the training data. The model is trained using a self-supervised learning algorithm.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method is provided for improving live video quality. The method comprises: (a) acquiring, using a medical imaging apparatus, a stream of consecutive image frames of a subject; (b) feeding the stream of consecutive image frames to a first set of denoising components, wherein each of the first set of denoising components is configured to denoise an image frame from the stream of consecutive image frames in a spatial domain to output an intermediate image frame; (c) feeding a plurality of the intermediate image frames to a second denoising component, wherein the second denoising component is configured to (i) denoise the plurality of the intermediate image frames in a temporal domain and (ii) generate a weight map; and outputting a final image frame with improved quality in both temporal domain and spatial domain based at least in part on the weight map.

Abstract: An automated image quality control system is provided. The system comprises: a first component including a first deep learning network model for estimating a quality of medical images acquired by an imaging device; and a second component for determining whether the medical images are out of a distribution of a training dataset used for training the first deep learning network model.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method is provided for improving live video quality. The method comprises: acquiring, using a medical imaging apparatus, a stream of consecutive image frames of a subject, and the stream of consecutive image frames are acquired with reduced amount of radiation dose; applying a deep learning network model to the stream of consecutive image frames to generate an image frame with improved quality; and displaying the image frame with improved quality in real-time on a display.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a chassis, a body, and a door assembly. The body is supported by the chassis, and defines a driver compartment and a cargo compartment. The driver compartment has a cab opening and the cargo compartment has a cargo opening. The door assembly is coupled to the body and provides selective access into the driver compartment and into the cargo compartment through the cab opening and cargo opening, respectively. The door assembly includes a first door and a second door. The first door is movable between a first position extending across the cab opening and a second position extending across a portion of the cab opening. The second door is movable between a third position extending across the cargo opening and a fourth position extending across a portion of the cab opening.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a chassis defining a longitudinal centerline, a first axle and a second axle coupled to the chassis, a cab, a door, and a driver's seat. The cab is coupled to the chassis and defines a door opening. The cab includes (a) a windshield assembly comprising a first side portion, a middle portion, a second side portion, a first pillar coupling the first side portion to the middle portion, a second pillar coupling the second side portion to the middle portion, (b) an A-pillar defining a front edge of the door opening, and (c) a B-pillar defining a rear edge of the door opening. The door is movably coupled to the cab, disposed within the door opening, and selectively repositionable relative thereto independent of the windshield assembly. The driver's seat is disposed within the cab and positioned along the longitudinal centerline.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a chassis having a longitudinal centerline, a first axle and a second axle coupled to the chassis, a cab, a driver's seat, and a passenger seat. The cab is coupled to the chassis and includes a windshield assembly comprising a first side portion, a middle portion, a second side portion, a first pillar coupling the first side portion to the middle portion, and a second pillar coupling the second side portion to the middle portion. The driver's seat is disposed within the cab along the longitudinal centerline, and the passenger seat is disposed within the cab and longitudinally offset from the driver's seat to improve driver visibility.

Abstract: A system for managing account receivables is provided. The system comprises a rules module or engine for receiving at least one encounter from a first party and for assessing the at least one encounter based on rules associated with a payer; and a transactions module or engine for outputting at least one claim to the payer based on the rule module's assessment of the at least one encounter.

Abstract: A network device is disclosed. The network device includes at least one communications port, a wireless interface to allow the network device to connect to a wireless domain and a wired interface to allow the network device to connect to a wired enterprise network. A processor acts as a foreign agent for any mobile nodes in the wireless domain.

Abstract: A transfer unit for a four-wheel drive vehicle includes a low-gear/high-gear shifting section and a two-wheel drive/four-wheel drive section. Both sections use gears with beveled portions and a synchronizer blocker ring to synchronize the rotation of gears before they are coupled to each other. This synchronization allows the vehicle to be shifted from low-gear to high-gear or from two-wheel drive to four-wheel drive while the vehicle is in motion without damaging the components of the transfer unit.
