  • Publication number: 20240068705
    Abstract: This disclosure is a condensate evaporation device. An air conditioning apparatus includes a compressor, an evaporator and a condenser connected with one another. A water tray is arranged to receive the condensate. A water distribution module includes a water separator base and a water separator piece. The water separator piece and the water separator base are combined to define a water channel. The condensate flows through the water channel to evenly flow out. A multi-folded water absorbing body is arranged on one side of the water separator base to absorb the condensate flowed out from the water separator base. The water tank is arranged on a bottom side of the multi-folded water absorbing body. A fan is arranged on one side of the multi-folded water absorbing body. Accordingly, the condensate may be evaporated efficiently.

  • Patent number: 11911663
    Abstract: A training device and a training method for reducing hypertonic are disclosed. The training device includes a base, a driving circuit, two pedals, a control circuit, and a switch circuit. The driving circuit is fixed on the base. Each of the two pedals is coupled to the base. The driving circuit drives each of the two pedals to swing repeatedly between a first position and a second position relative to the base. When the control circuit executes a training program, the control circuit actuates the driving circuit.

  • Publication number: 20240037814
    Abstract: A dynamic frame reconstruction apparatus and method for medical image processing is disclosed which reduces the computationally expensive reconstruction of images but which retains the accuracy of the image reconstruction. A convolutional neural network is used to cluster the dynamic data into groups of frames, each group sharing similar radiotracer distribution. In one embodiment, groups of frames that have similar reconstruction parameters are determined, and scatter and random estimations are computed once and shared among each of the frames in the same frame group.

  • Publication number: 20240008832
    Abstract: A deep learning (DL) convolution neural network (CNN) reduces noise in positron emission tomography (PET) images, and is trained using a range of noise levels for the low-quality images having high noise in the training dataset to produce uniform high-quality images having low noise, independently of the noise level of the input image. The DL-CNN network can be implemented by slicing a three-dimensional (3D) PET image into 2D slices along transaxial, coronal, and sagittal planes, using three separate 2D CNN networks for each respective plane, and averaging the outputs from these three separate 2D CNN networks. Feature-oriented training can be implemented by segmenting each training image into lesion and background regions, and, in the loss function, applying greater weights to voxels in the lesion region. Other medical images (e.g. MRI and CT) can be used to enhance resolution of the PET images and provide partial volume corrections.
