  • Patent number: 10976166
    Abstract: A method involves utilizing a geo-locator service and zone servers to reduce server resource requirements for determining high quality solutions to routing problems. The use of a geo-locator service and zone servers enables the use of servers having less memory which can handle determination of high quality solutions to routing problems involving locations spanning a smaller geographic area even if they are incapable of handling determination of high quality solutions to routing problems involving locations spanning a larger geographic area, and enables efficient assignment of requests to an appropriate server without unduly burdening high value servers having sufficient memory to handle determination of high quality solutions to routing problems involving locations spanning a very large geographic area with determination of high quality solutions to routing problems involving locations spanning a smaller geographic area.

  • Patent number: 10869611
    Abstract: This invention relates to a system that adaptively compensates for subject motion in real-time in an imaging system. An object orientation marker (30), preferably a retro-grate reflector (RGR), is placed on the head or other body organ of interest of a patient (P) during a scan, such as an MRI scan. The marker (30) makes it possible to measure the six degrees of freedom (x, y, and z-translations, and pitch, yaw, and roll), or “pose”, required to track motion of the organ of interest. A detector, preferably a camera (40), observes the marker (30) and continuously extracts its pose. The pose from the camera (40) is sent to the scanner (120) via an RGR processing computer (50) and a scanner control and processing computer (100), allowing for continuous correction of scan planes and position (in real-time) for motion of the patient (P).

  • Patent number: 10824644
    Abstract: A method includes receiving a first index of records in a first table and a second index of records in a second table. Each index entry of the indexes includes an aggregate value associated with the data in its respective record. The method further includes determining that the first table is inconsistent with the second table by comparing the aggregate values of a pair of indicator index entries of the indexes. The method further includes identifying a first pair of corresponding index entries from the indexes for which the aggregate values of the corresponding index entries are inconsistent and synchronizing records corresponding to the first pair of corresponding index entries. The method further includes updating the aggregate values of the index entries of the indexes and comparing the updated aggregate values of the pair of indicator index entries to determine whether the first table and the second table are consistent.
