Patent number: 11253210Abstract: Various embodiments of the present technology generally relate to identification of tumor location. More specifically, some embodiments of the present technology relate automated tracking of fiducial marker clusters in x-ray images for the real-time identification of tumor location and guidance of radiation therapy beams. Some embodiments use processed CBCT projection images, an automated routine of reconstruction, forward-projection, tracking, and stabilization generated static templates of the marker cluster at arbitrary viewing angles. Breathing data can be incorporated into some embodiments, resulting in dynamic templates dependent on both viewing angle and breathing motion. In some embodiments, marker clusters can be tracked using normalized cross correlations between templates (either static or dynamic) and CBCT projection images.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2017Date of Patent: February 22, 2022Assignee: The Regents of the University of Colorado, a body corporateInventors: Bernard Jones, Warren Campbell, Moyed Mitten

Patent number: 10162401Abstract: Approaches and related devices monitor the condition of a battery via voltage measurement during routine recharging instances. An approach includes supplying a charging current to the battery during each of a plurality of routine charging instances. The charging current is increased by a measured or predetermined amount during a current pulse portion of each of the routine charging instances. A resulting change in a battery voltage of the battery during the current pulse portion of each of the routine charging instances is measured. An impedance-indicative value of the battery is determined for each of the routine charging instances based on the change in the battery voltage during the current pulse portion. The impedance-indicative value is stored in a memory device for each of the routine charging instances. A condition of the battery is estimated based on one or more changes in the impedance-indicative values.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2015Date of Patent: December 25, 2018Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Wieslaw Brys, Eric Bernard Jones, Richard Alan Goloski, Kevin John Trenholme

Patent number: 9970709Abstract: The present invention relates to a furnace, in particular a continuous furnace, for controlling a temperature of at least one substrate. A housing of the furnace comprises an intake opening and an outtake opening, wherein between the intake opening and the outtake opening a temperature-controlled section is formed. A carrier element for carrying the at least one substrate is movable along a transport direction through the intake opening into the temperature-controlled section and from the temperature-controlled section through the outtake opening. A temperature controlling element is thermally coupled to the temperature-controlled section for controlling the temperature of the temperature-controlled section. The temperature-controlled section comprises a gas inlet through which a gas is blowable for controlling the temperature of the temperature-controlled section.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2016Date of Patent: May 15, 2018Assignee: ADPV Cigs Ltd.Inventors: Robert Ebner, Bernard Jones, Alfred Spitzenberger, Uwe Keim

Patent number: 7927385Abstract: A method for using substantial quantities of silicon powders as charge and processing it to produce a high quality silicon ingots suitable for photovoltaic use is disclosed. In a fused silica crucible, silicon feedstock containing more than about 5% by weight silicon powder is charged. The crucible with the charged silicon feedstock is placed into a furnace chamber and a vacuum is drawn to remove air. The vacuum is applied slowly. Then, the furnace chamber is backfilled with argon gas and heated to form molten silicon. Afterward, the molten silicon is solidified and annealed to form a multicrystalline silicon ingot.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2008Date of Patent: April 19, 2011Assignee: GT Solar IncorporatedInventors: Dean Skelton, Bernard Jones, Santhana Raghavan Parthasarathy, Chandra P.

Publication number: 20080263012Abstract: When making digital data recordings using some form of computer or calculator, data is input in a variety of ways and stored on some form of electronic medium. During this process calculations and transformations are performed on the data to optimize it for storage. This invention involves designing the calculations in such a way that they include what is needed for each of many different processes, such as data compression, activity detection and object recognition. As the incoming data is subjected to these calculations and stored, information about each of the processes is extracted at the same time. Calculations for the different processes can be executed either serially on a single processor, or in parallel on multiple distributed processors. We refer to the extraction process as “synoptic decomposition”, and to the extracted information as “synoptic data”. The term “synoptic data” does not normally include the main body of original data.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 1, 2006Publication date: October 23, 2008Applicant: ASTRAGROUP ASInventor: Bernard Jones
