Publication number: 20230288515Abstract: A computer-implemented method for augmenting diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging data, which contains, for each of a plurality of Q-space points, respective magnetic resonance datasets (MR-datasets) for a target voxel and for a plurality of auxiliary voxels in a predefined neighborhood of the target voxel. The method includes applying a trained artificial neural network to input data, which contains the respective MR-datasets of the target voxel and the plurality of auxiliary voxels for all of the plurality of Q-space points; computing an interpolated MR-dataset for the target voxel and for a target Q-space point, which is not contained in the plurality of Q-space points, by means of the artificial neural network depending on the input data.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 13, 2023Publication date: September 14, 2023Applicant: Siemens Healthcare GmbHInventors: Daniel Staeb, Kieran O'Brien, Eric Pierre, Thorsten Feiweier

Patent number: 9734432Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatus, and other embodiments associated with reducing imaging acquisition time are described. One example method includes accessing an under-sampled data set and a library of previously acquired data sets. The method includes producing an approximation of the under-sampled data set by transforming data stored in the library. The method includes producing a sparsified data set from the approximation and the under-sampled data set and then reconstructing the sparsified data set into a sparse image using a reconstruction technique configured to reconstruct sparse data. The method includes producing a fully-sampled approximation of the under-sampled data set and producing a final reconstructed image from the sparse image and the fully sampled approximation.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2009Date of Patent: August 15, 2017Assignee: CASE WESTERN RESERVE UNIVERSITYInventors: Mark A Griswold, Eric Pierre, Nicole Seiberlich, Stephen Yutzy, Vikas Gulani, Jean Tkach

Patent number: 7409781Abstract: A lace-up device for tightening an article of footwear, providing for the tieing of the lacing without causing discomfort to the user's hands, as well as to the article of footwear equipped with such device. The lace-up device includes a gripping mechanism arranged on the linkage in the area of a loop formed by the lacing outside the tightening zone. The gripping device includes a rigid frame, making it possible to distribute the tension of the lacing over the hand of the user.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2006Date of Patent: August 12, 2008Assignee: Salomon S.A.Inventors: Guy Azam, Jean-Bruno Danezin, Eric Pierre, Bruno Borsoi

Patent number: 6467195Abstract: A high boot having, on its bottom part that surrounds the foot, a lace-tightening device whose strands are alternatively crossed by means of returns, from one edge to the other of the upper to be adjusted on the foot. The strands of the lace are directed so as to converge from the instep zone up to the top portion of a tongue provided with a guiding double tunnel, via two semi-flexible sheaths. The tightening device of the boot leaves the flexion fold zone free and can be controlled in tightening from the edge of the top portion of the upper.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2000Date of Patent: October 22, 2002Assignee: Salomon, S.A.Inventors: Eric Pierre, Jean-Bruno Danezin, Guy Azam

Patent number: 5125074Abstract: A process for eliminating hidden faces for synthesis of a three-dimensional wire image from the set of edges of a wire image, the edges being provided with priority parameters making it possible to restore the appearances of a third-dimension. The process consists of:cutting the set of ordinate values into intervals [Y(i),Y(i+1)] as a function of the ordinates of the edge ends;determining, in each interval [Y(i),Y(i+1)], the coordinates of intersection points (I1 . . . I4) of the edges;making, for each edge (AB), an arranged list of points of intersection of this edge with more priority edges;determining, for each intersection point (I1 . . .Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 1989Date of Patent: June 23, 1992Assignee: Thomson-CSFInventors: Philippe Labeaute, Eric Pierre
