  • Patent number: 11940578
    Abstract: An imaging method including: a) acquiring N successive positron emission tomography (PET) low resolution images ?i and simultaneously, N successive Ultrafast Ultrasound Imaging (UUI) images Ui of a moving object; b) determining from each UUI image Ui, the motion vector fields Mi that corresponds to the spatio-temporal geometrical transformation of the motion of the object; c) obtaining a final estimated high resolution image H of the object by iterative determination of a high resolution image Hn+1 obtained by applying several correction iterations to a current estimated high resolution image Hn, n being the number of iterations, starting from an initial estimated high resolution image H1 of the object, each correction iteration including at least: i) warping the estimated high resolution image Hn using the motion vector fields Mi to determine a set of low resolution reference images Lni; ii) determining a differential image Di by difference between each PET image ?i and the corresponding low resolution re

  • Patent number: 8774287
    Abstract: The invention relates to the field of the synchronization of data delivery onto equipments connected over a packet switching network, in particular when the equipments are devoted to video and audio data or Auxiliary data linked to processing and are connected over a local area network for forming a video/audio production studio. More precisely the invention concerns a data inserter device for inserting a timestamp in packets, and a delay compensating device for extracting said timestamp and compensating the delivery delay and in particular the jitter, the network delay and the packet generation duration or any additional user delay.

  • Patent number: 8737411
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the synchronizing of equipment, and more precisely to the transporting of synchronization signals via a communication network with a view to inter-synchronizing the equipment. The invention concerns a reference station able to deliver packets in a packet switching network to communication devices connected to the network. According to the invention, the reference station comprises means for inserting at least a temporal offset in said packets, wherein said temporal offset describes data delivery duration on a pre-determined path of said network. The invention relates also to a sending communication device and to a receiving communication device.

  • Patent number: 7769055
    Abstract: The invention concerns a method of transmitting, via a sending device, a data stream made up of data packets, at least some of these packets including time references for synchronizing the clocks of the sender and the receiver. The method includes at least a correction of the time references by the sender so as the receiver can offset the jitter introduced by the transmission. The invention is used to offset these losses of accuracy. The invention concerns also the device and corresponding receiver and reception method.
