Abstract: A multi-motor switching system and method for obtaining a global optimization of performance criteria that takes into account variables and conditions across an entire driving cycle. The controller of the system is adapted to conduct a global optimization in that it determines the most optimal distribution of motor loads over an entire trip or driving cycle, as opposed to sequentially determining the optimized solution for a given point of time and localized set of current condition. In one embodiment where the control system provides for global optimization, the controller receives trip information through a trip planning tool. The controller utilizes the trip information to generate a driving cycle and further incorporates this information into the optimization process performed by the controller to determine the optimal solution for the entire trip.

Abstract: Disclosed is an automatic reorientation method from an SPECT three-dimensional reconstructed image to a standard view, wherein a rigid registration parameter P between a SPECT three-dimensional reconstructed image A and a standard SPECT image R is extracted by using a rigid registration algorithm to form a mapping database of A and P; features of the image A are extracted by using a three-layer convolution module, and are converted into a 6-dimensional feature vector T after three times of full connection, and T is applied to A through a spatial transformer network to form an orientation result predicted by the network, thus establishing the automatic reorientation model of the SPECT three-dimensional reconstructed image. The SPECT three-dimensional reconstructed image to be orientated is taken as an input. A standard view can be obtained by using the automatic reorientation model of the SPECT three-dimensional reconstructed image for automatic turning.

Abstract: The predictive overlay network architecture of the present invention improves the performance of applications distributing digital content among nodes of an underlying network such as the Internet by establishing and reconfiguring overlay network topologies over which associated content items are distributed. The present invention addresses not only frequently changing network congestion, but also interdependencies among nodes and links of prospective overlay network topologies. The present invention provides a prediction engine that monitors metrics and predicts the relay capacity of individual nodes and links (as well as demand of destination nodes) over time to reflect the extent to which the relaying of content among the nodes of an overlay network will be impacted by (current or future) underlying network congestion.
