  • Patent number: 10175321
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method obtaining a magnetic resonance image of an object, comprising obtaining a first time evolution signal from a magnetic resonance signal from the object; performing a search of a compressed dictionary of magnetic resonance fingerprints to select a magnetic resonance fingerprint representative of the first time evolution signal, wherein the selected magnetic resonance fingerprint is an exact or approximate nearest neighbor match to the first time evolution signal; obtaining a magnetic resonance parameter associated with the selected fingerprint; generating the magnetic resonance image of the object from the obtained magnetic resonance parameter; and performing a second search of the compressed dictionary using the magnetic resonance image.

  • Patent number: 9122858
    Abstract: Methods, computer systems, and computer-readable storage media for using a single application on a mobile device to access a plurality of client domain sites are provided. The single application on the mobile device receives from a user of the mobile device a set of authorization credentials. Based on the set of authorization credentials, the single application receives a first client domain uniform resource locator from a third-party directory service. The first client domain uniform resource locator is used to access a client gateway service; the client gateway service provides a secure access point to a number of different service solutions hosted by a client. Upon the user inputting a set of authentication credentials, the user is able to access information from one or more of the different service solutions.

  • Patent number: 8307476
    Abstract: An apparatus for placement on the ground includes a pouch with a removable pillow that is preferably made of a memory foam type of material. A top sheet is formed of a desired flexible fabric material for comfort. The top sheet is extended to form the pouch. A preferred material for the top sheet includes a cotton cloth or cotton blend of fabric. A water resistant bottom sheet is optionally disposed or laminated under the top sheet and is used to keep the top sheet dry when the apparatus is placed on a damp surface. A plastic film or any flexible material resistant to the passage of moisture can be used as the bottom sheet.

  • Publication number: 20070108984
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for the non-contact electrical test of both opens and shorts in electronic substrates. Top surface electrical test features are exposed to an ionization source under ambient conditions and the subsequent charge build up is measured as a drain current by probes contacting corresponding bottom surface features. Opens are detected by an absence of a drain current and shorts are detected by turning off the ionization source and re-measuring the bottom surface probes with a varying bias applied to each probe in the array.

  • Patent number: 6323045
    Abstract: A method and structure for providing top-to-bottom repair of a defective I/O net in a thin film transfer and join process. At least one C4 location and at least one capture pad are provided on a thin film substrate. The substrate is preferably ceramic. The C4 location of the defective net is severed by removal of a delete strap. The corresponding solder connection of the associated capture pad is also removed. A spare C4 location and capture pad are connected to provide a Z-repair line imbedded in the TF wiring structure. The Z-repair line is wired to the defective net.
