Patent number: 9972069Abstract: There is provided a system and method for evaluation of cardiac images, wherein enhanced evaluation of myocardial mechanical function is possible. The system and methods include methods for segmentation of cardiac images obtained via cMRI or other imaging modalities, wherein the segmentation allows for fusion of these images with images obtained from a different modality such as echocardiogram and/or LE-MRI. The fused images may then be used to provide a diagnosis or a recommendation for a procedure, such as implantation of a cardiac pacemaker. Moreover, follow-up evaluation may be done using only one imaging modality, such as echocardiogram, for example. The system and methods disclosed herein further provide additional post-processing, such as computation of mid-myocardial strain, which can further be useful in diagnosis and planning.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2015Date of Patent: May 15, 2018Assignee: TECHNION RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT FOUNDATION LIMITEDInventors: Yossi Tsadok, Dan Adam

Patent number: 9216008Abstract: Systems and methods using contrast enhanced ultrasound imaging for quantitative assessment of neovascularization, such as within a tumor or a plaque. The contrast agent moves in small blotches rather than in continuous flow, but image processing methods enable the detection and quantification of the blood flow, even in the tiny blood vessels of the vasculature tree. The image processing includes compensation for motion of the tissue arising from body movement. The position and extent of the discrete positions of contrast material may be accumulating during a complete heart cycle onto a single 2D image, to enable an indication of a vascular tree based on this local accumulated image. Dynamic processing (DP) of the discrete positions of contrast material enables a complete vascular tree to be obtained. The neovascularization is quantified by the ratio of its total area to that of the plaque in which the neovascularization has grown.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2013Date of Patent: December 22, 2015Assignee: Technion Research & Development Foundation LimitedInventors: Assaf Hoogi, Avinoam Bar-Zion, Dan Adam

Patent number: 8935053Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide for controlling a hood latch using an electrically actuated primary hood latch and an electrically actuated secondary hood latch. To open the hood of the vehicle, a person presses a hood release button. Before attempting to release either the primary hood latch or secondary hood latch, a determination is made whether a vehicle speed of the vehicle is below a minimum vehicle speed threshold. If the vehicle speed is below this threshold, both the primary electrical actuator for the primary hood latch and the secondary electrical actuator for the secondary hood latch are triggered, thereby releasing hood from a closed position into an open position. When the vehicle speed is above this vehicle speed threshold, only the primary electrical actuator for primary hood latch is triggered; leaving the hood in a partially open position held in place by the secondary hood latch.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2012Date of Patent: January 13, 2015Assignee: Tesla Motors, Inc.Inventors: David Wheeler, Brenda Cucci, Adam S. Kilgore, Dan Adams, Robert B. Mooney

Patent number: 8892299Abstract: A method for using a vehicle user interface is provided, the user interface utilizing a touch screen display mounted within the vehicle. A proximity detection system provides a means for switching the touch screen display from the sleep mode to the normal use mode without the user having to touch the screen, thus expediting user interaction with the touch screen. The proximity detection system may be configured to distinguish the user's presence per touch screen zone, thereby allowing the system controller to switch only a zone of the touch screen from the sleep mode to the normal use mode.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2010Date of Patent: November 18, 2014Assignee: Tesla Motors, Inc.Inventors: Evan Small, Brian Finn, Dan Adams

Publication number: 20110204231Abstract: The current invention provides a method for improving the sensitivity of bolometric detection by providing improved electromagnetic power/energy absorption. In addition to its role in significantly improving the performance of conventional conducting-film bolometric detection elements, the method suggests application of plasmon resonance absorption for efficient thermal detection and imaging of far-field radiation using the Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) and the herein introduced Cavity Plasmone Resonance (CPR) phenomena. The latter offers detection characteristics, including good frequency sensitivity, intrinsic spatial (angular) selectivity without focusing lenses, wide tunability over both infrared and visible light domains, high responsivity and miniaturization capabilities. As compared to SPR, the CPR-type devices offer an increased flexibility over wide ranges of wavelengths, bandwidths, and device dimensions.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 12, 2007Publication date: August 25, 2011Applicant: Technion Research & Development Foundation Ltd.Inventors: Daniel Razansky, Pinchas Einziger, Dan Adam, Yael Nemirovsky, Lior Shwartzman

Publication number: 20110001975Abstract: The current invention provides a devices methods and systems for efficient biosensing using the Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) and Cavity Plasmon Resonance (CPR) phenomena. The miniature biosensor comprises a stratified structure having a channel for analyte form between a substrate and thin metallic absorber layer in which plasmon are resonantly excited. Presence of analyte in the channel, changes the resonance conditions, thus changing the energy absorbed by the biosensor.
