Publication number: 20240095889Abstract: Systems and methods for improving magnetic resonance imaging relate to reconstructing multi-slice images based on sharing the strong structural similarities between adjacent image slices. In addition, a joint denoising method exploits these structural similarities. In part the reconstruction is based on use of a residual neural networks and denoising is achieved with a deep learning based strategy. The system and method have proved useful in both simulation and in vivo brain experiments, demonstrating significant noise reduction in all images and revealing more microstructural details in quantitative diffusion maps.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 25, 2022Publication date: March 21, 2024Applicant: THE UNIVERSITY OF HONG KONGInventors: Ed Xuekui WU, Linshan XIE, Jiahao HU, Yujiao ZHAO, Christopher MAN

Patent number: 11935190Abstract: Some embodiments provide a mapping application that has a novel way of displaying traffic congestion along roads in the map. The mapping application in some embodiments defines a traffic congestion representation to run parallel to its corresponding road portion when the map is viewed at a particular zoom level, and defines a traffic congestion representation to be placed over its corresponding road portion when the map is viewed at another zoom level. The mapping application in some embodiments differentiates the appearance of the traffic congestion representation that signifies heavy traffic congestion from the appearance of the traffic congestion representation that signifies moderate traffic congestion. In some of these embodiments, the mapping application does not generate a traffic congestion representation for areas along a road that are not congested.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2022Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Christopher D. Moore, Aroon Pahwa, Yaohua Hu

Publication number: 20240079784Abstract: An electronic device may be provided with an antenna having a resonating element and a light source module mounted to a flexible printed circuit and a metal cowling. The module may emit light through a rear housing wall. The printed circuit may be interposed between the metal cowling and a conductive support plate in the rear housing wall. The printed circuit may include a ground trace coupled to the resonating element. A dimpled pad may couple the ground trace to the support plate. Compressive foam may be used to exert a force against the flexible printed circuit that presses the dimpled pad against the conductive support plate. The ground trace and the dimpled pad may form a return path to ground for the resonating element. The dimpled pad may occupy less height within the device than other structures such as metal springs.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 30, 2023Publication date: March 7, 2024Inventors: Han Wang, Victor C.

Publication number: 20240079786Abstract: An electronic device may be provided with peripheral conductive housing structures, a first antenna, and a second antenna. A gap may divide the housing structures into a first segment forming an arm of the first antenna and a second segment forming an arm of the second antenna. A first feed terminal may be coupled to the first segment and a second feed terminal may be coupled to the second segment. Switchable components may be coupled in parallel between the first and second feed terminals across the gap. The switchable components may be adjusted to tune the frequency response of the first and/or second antenna. The switchable components may have a first state in which only the first feed terminal feeds the first antenna and may have a second state in which both the first and second feed terminals feed the first antenna.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 30, 2023Publication date: March 7, 2024Inventors: Han Wang, Aobo Li, Victor C Lee, Yuancheng Xu, Ahmed Ali Abdelhaliem Nafe, Enrique Ayala Vazquez, Yiren Wang, Yuan Tao, Christopher Q Ma, Zhiheng Zhou, Sherry Cao, Dale T Morgan, Timothy L Stickles, Hao Xu, Hongfei Hu, Mattia Pascolini

Patent number: 11366332Abstract: An optical module includes an enclosure and an optical output assembly mounted on the enclosure. An emitter mounted in the enclosure is configured to emit a beam of light toward the optical output assembly. A connector, which includes two conductive layers separated by a dielectric layer, has a first side connected to the enclosure and a second side connected to the optical output assembly. An electrical trace disposed on the enclosure is connected to the first side of the connector so as to define a test circuit having a capacitance. Control circuitry is coupled to sense the capacitance of the test circuit, and configured to inhibit operation of the emitter upon sensing a change in the capacitance that exceeds a predetermined threshold.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2019Date of Patent: June 21, 2022Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Christopher Hu, Ahmed Rashid, Colleen F.
