  • Patent number: 12285628
    Abstract: By using the Al module, the method of the present invention calculates, i.e. predicts, the dependency Ci (pi) of a radiotherapy (RT) quality criterion C, from an adjustment of such a radiotherapy planning parameter pi. In this way, the decision making process in RT treatment plan optimization is streamlined by prediction of promising settings of one or more radiotherapy planning parameters p, before the actual time intensive iterative optimization process is carried out. This is achieved by applying an Al module, which has been trained to predict the specific behaviour of the dose optimization algorithm, i.e. the optimizer, with respect to geometric patient data, dose prescription and treatment indication data. Thus, a computer-implemented medical method of predicting a dependency Ci (pi) of a radiotherapy (RT) quality criterion Ci from an adjustment of a radiotherapy planning parameter p, is presented.

  • Patent number: 10765332
    Abstract: The invention relates to a computer-implemented medical data processing method for determining a heartbeat signal describing the heartbeat of a patient in the time domain, the method comprising executing, on a processor of a computer, steps of: a) acquiring, at the processor, acceleration measurement data describing an acceleration in the time domain of an anatomical body part measured on an external surface of the anatomical body part; b) determining, by the processor, component analysis data describing a result of an independent component analysis in the time domain of the acceleration measurement data; c) acquiring, at the processor, heartbeat template data describing template shapes of heartbeat in the time domain; d) determining, by the processor and based on the component analysis data and the heartbeat template data, recurrent shape data describing a recurrence of certain signal shapes in the component analysis data; e) determining, based on the recurrent shape data, heartbeat signal data describing a

  • Patent number: 10342152
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electronic device having a multi-part printed circuit board, the printed circuit board parts of which are connected to one another by current-carrying, flexible regions, having a support, around which the printed circuit board bent around the flexible regions of the printed circuit board is arranged and fixed, and having a housing in which the printed circuit board mounted on the support is fixed.
