Publication number: 20240143471Abstract: A flow logging utility tracer (“FLUTE”) system can present a FLUTE user interface through which the FLUTE system can receive a trace request. The FLUTE system can interface, via a FLUTE controller, with a FLUTE adapter corresponding to a cloud environment associated with the trace request. The FLUTE adaptor can extract event log data from a log repository corresponding to the cloud environment. The FLUTE adapter can filter the event log data according to a logging specification. The FLUTE adapter can transform the filtered event log data for compatibility with a FLUTE stitcher. The FLUTE stitcher can generate tracing data based upon the event log data. The FLUTE stitcher can correlate the tracing data based upon a common identifier enforced by the logging specification, prepare the tracing data for publication to a distributed tracing system, and publish the tracing data to the distributed tracing system for storage.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 27, 2022Publication date: May 2, 2024Applicant: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Arthur Martella, Saumya Swarup Pattanayak, Clifford Weiss, Abbas Munawar Fazal

Patent number: 10459045Abstract: Sterile RF coil arrangements for use in magnetic resonance imaging are provided. The sterile coil arrangements can be formed by spraying or coating a curable liquid onto an RF coil housing and allowing the liquid to cure or dry to form a continuous sterile layer on the coil housing. The thickness of the sterile layer can be between 100 and 1000 micrometers. The curable liquid can include an antimicrobial or antibacterial agent, such as silver ions or triclosan, to better maintain sterility of the coil arrangement. The curable liquid can be selected such that it adheres to the housing when cured and is also removable without leaving residue behind.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2016Date of Patent: October 29, 2019Assignees: Siemens Healthcare GmbH, The Johns Hopkins UniversityInventors: Arne Hengerer, Eva Rothgang, Lars Lauer, Jonathan Lewin, Jan Fritz, Clifford Weiss, Katarzyna J. Macura, Paul Bottomley, Wesley David Gilson

Patent number: 10209325Abstract: A configurable coil arrangement for use with MRI-guided procedures is provided that facilitates optimal imaging for both pre-procedure planning and imaging of the target sites during the procedure. The coil arrangement includes a plurality of connected coil elements. Spacers connecting the coil elements can be adjustable and/or deformable to provide one or more openings in the coil arrangement of optimal size for accessing the subject within the imaged region. Individual coil elements can also be removed to provide access openings during such procedures, or left in the array for improved pre- and post-procedure image quality. The MRI system can be configured to detect configurations of the coil arrangement and modify imaging parameters to optimize image quality.Type: GrantFiled: February 29, 2016Date of Patent: February 19, 2019Assignees: Siemens Healthcare GmbH, The Johns Hopkins UniversityInventors: Eva Rothgang, Volker Matschl, Arne Hengerer, Lars Lauer, Wesley David Gilson, Jonathan Lewin, Jan Fritz, Clifford Weiss, Katarzyna Macura, Paul Bottomley

Patent number: 9521994Abstract: In a method for image guided prostate cancer needle biopsy, a first registration is performed to match a first image of a prostate to a second image of the prostate. Third images of the prostate are acquired and compounded into a three-dimensional (3D) image. The prostate in the compounded 3D image is segmented to show its border. A second registration and then a third registration different from the second registration is performed on distance maps generated from the prostate borders of the first image and the compounded 3D image, wherein the first and second registrations are based on a biomechanical property of the prostate. A region of interest in the first image is mapped to the compounded 3D image or a fourth image of the prostate acquired with the second modality.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2010Date of Patent: December 20, 2016Assignee: Siemens Healthcare GmbHInventors: Ali Kamen, Wolfgang Wein, Parmeshwar Khurd, Mamadou Diallo, Ralf Nanke, Jens Fehre, Berthold Kiefer, Martin Requardt, Clifford Weiss

Publication number: 20150011929Abstract: A device and method of the present invention provides application of low-energy acoustic waves to indwelling surfaces of a catheter in order to remove and prevent microbial biofilm formation. The low-energy acoustic waves are generated by an electrically activated piezo element. The device can take the form of a luer connector configured to couple to the hub of the indwelling catheter or can take the form of a catheter insert. The characteristics of the acoustic waves can be varied in order to inhibit bacterial adhesion to the indwelling surfaces of the catheter. Moreover, the characteristics of the acoustic waves must also be in a range so as to not induce bacterial adhesion to the indwelling catheter surfaces.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 18, 2013Publication date: January 8, 2015Inventors: Shuja Dawood, Adam Clark, Nathaniel Moller, Luis Soenksen, Soumyadipta Acharya, Steven Hsu, Clifford Weiss
