  • Publication number: 20240233212
    Abstract: Described herein are systems, methods, and instrumentalities associated with using a multi-layer perceptron (MLP) neural network to process medical images of an anatomical structure. The processing may include padding an input image in accordance with the training of the MLP neural network, splitting the input image (e.g., the padded input image) into patches of a same size, and processing the patches through the MLP neural network over one or more iterations. During an iteration of the processing, the patches may be processed separately and re-combined into an intermediate image before the intermediate image is shifted to concatenate portions of the image that are derived from different patches. This way, global features of the anatomical structure may be learned and used to improve the quality of the image generated by the MLP neural network, without incurring significant computation or memory costs.

    Abstract: A method for waking a transceiver for communicating directly with commodity Wi-Fi transceivers (TRXs) via backscatter modulation in an integrated tag device includes sensing an incident Wi-Fi-compliant wake-up signal with a wake-up stage. Upon wake-up, a payload packet is sensed with a sync stage, the sync stage having higher bandwidth and power than the wake-up stage, the sync stage enabling a backscatter transmission circuit in sync with the payload. A backscatter transceiver includes a wake-up receiver having an energy-detection based architecture and having circuitry to conduct a counter-based wake up responsive to two pre-specified WiFi compatible packets. A sync receiver is enabled by the wake-up receiver upon reception of the two pre-specified WiFi compatible packets, the sync receiver including circuitry to detect a payload packet and create a backscatter enable signal synced with a payload of the payload packet. A backscatter transmitter is enabled by the backscatter enable signal.
