  • Patent number: 11816695
    Abstract: In some aspects, a system for enhancing performance of directed information delivery is provided. In one example, an advertising recommendation server receives an advertisement request including an advertisement for display on at least one of a plurality of webpages and a requested performance of the advertisement. The server extracts context data from the advertisement, and provides the extracted context data to a data model useable to generate predictions of performance of the advertisement when displayed on each of a plurality of webpages, trained based on performance data associated with previous displays of one or more previous advertisements on one or more of the plurality of webpages and context data from the one or more previous advertisements. A webpage is identified that meets expected performance, and a recommendation is provided to a decision platform.

  • Publication number: 20230233128
    Abstract: In a method for extracting physiological data of an object under examination from ECG signals as part of MR imaging, raw ECG data comprising ECG signals may be captured from at least three electrodes located at different positions on an object under examination. The raw ECG data may be processed, which may include performing a first filtering using a first filter configured to extract an electrocardiogram, performing a second filtering using a second filter configured to identify a heartbeat, performing a third filtering using a third filter configured to extract and/or represent a respiratory movement, and/or performing a fourth filtering using a fourth filter configured to identify breathing. The processed raw ECG data including physiological data of the object under examination may be provided as an output.

  • Patent number: 11650275
    Abstract: A magnetic resonance (MR) system may include a MR device and a MR-compatible drive. The MR device may include a scanner with a basic magnet for generating a homogeneous basic magnetic field. The MR-compatible drive may include an electric motor with a stator. The stator of the electric motor may include a dominant component of the basic magnetic field of the basic magnet.

  • Publication number: 20230068520
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a radio-based physiological acquisition system for an RF-shielded room comprising a peripheral acquisition unit with a peripheral transmitter, a peripheral control unit, and a door sensor unit. The door sensor unit is configured to determine an opening status of a door in an RF shield around the RF-shielded room. The peripheral acquisition unit is configured to switch off the peripheral transmitter depending on the opening status of the door, e.g. when the door is open.

  • Publication number: 20220071564
    Abstract: A direct current (DC) motor for operation in an external magnetic field may include a rotor which is rotatable about a rotation axis and has at least two windings, at least four continuous rotary transmitters, wherein two rotary transmitters are associated with each of the windings and are configured to supply the associated winding with direct current, an angle sensor which is configured to determine the angular position of the rotor, and a controller configured to control the current feed to at least one of the windings dependent upon the angular position of the rotor. The motor is oriented relative to an external magnetic field during operation so that the rotation axis extends transversely to the external magnetic field.

  • Publication number: 20080049912
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for delivering a message to a caller prior to the moment the recipient unhooks or answers their telephone or other network interface device, as well as optionally delivering a message to the caller, the recipient, or both after the connection between the service provider and the caller, and/or the connection between the service provider and the recipient has been established. The method and apparatus are effective for use with all telecommunications systems, including, but not limited to, optical-based telephone systems, wire-based telephone systems, wireless telephone systems, optical-based computer network systems, wire-based computer network systems, wireless computer network systems, and heterogeneous network systems.
