Abstract: Systems and methods for network-based ultrasound imaging are provided, which can include a number of features. In some embodiments, an ultrasound imaging system images an object with three-dimensional unfocused pings and obtains digital sample sets from a plurality of receiver elements. A sub-set of the digital sample sets can be electronically transferred to a remote server, where the sub-set can be beamformed to produce a series of two-dimensional image frames. A video stream made up of the series of two-dimensional images frames can then be transferred from the remote server to a display device.

Abstract: A Multiple Aperture Ultrasound Imaging (MAUI) probe or transducer is uniquely capable of simultaneous imaging of a region of interest from separate apertures of ultrasound arrays. Some embodiments provide systems and methods for designing, building and using ultrasound probes having continuous arrays of ultrasound transducers which may have a substantially continuous concave curved shape in two or three dimensions (i.e., concave relative to an object to be imaged). Other embodiments herein provide systems and methods for designing, building and using ultrasound imaging probes having other unique configurations, such as adjustable probes and probes with variable configurations.

Abstract: A method of full-field or “ping-based” Doppler ultrasound imaging allows for detection of Doppler signals indicating moving reflectors at any point in an imaging field without the need to predefine range gates. In various embodiments, such whole-field Doppler imaging methods may include transmitting a Doppler ping from a transmit aperture, receiving echoes of the Doppler ping with one or more separate receive apertures, detecting Doppler signals and determining the speed of moving reflectors. In some embodiments, the system also provides the ability to determine the direction of motion by solving a set of simultaneous equations based on echo data received by multiple receive apertures.

Abstract: An apparatus for supporting an underground main service entrance device and at least one secondary service entrance device and a kit for assembling such apparatus are disclosed. A preferred embodiment of such an apparatus comprises metal posts, metal bars, a first enclosure, at least one second enclosure, and at least one enclosure-connecting conduit. The bars of the embodiment are preferably coupled to the posts horizontally. The preferred first enclosure is configured to contain a main service entrance device. The preferred second enclosure is configured to contain a secondary service entrance device. The first enclosure is preferably attached to two of the bars near the top while the second enclosure is preferably attached to at least one of the bars below the first enclosure. The first and second enclosures are connected by the enclosure-connecting conduit. The components of the embodiment are preferably removably coupled and may be reconfigured when needed.
