  • Patent number: 11647987
    Abstract: The invention proposes a method for generating ultrasonic panoramic image and an ultrasonic device. The invention first analyzes the degree of overlap area between two black-and-white images and determines the Doppler signal error of two corresponding color images once the overlap area is large enough. A plurality of black-and-white characteristic images and color characteristic images are then determined from the captured black-and-white images and color images and used for generating a black-and-white panoramic image and a color panoramic image respectively using an image stitching algorithm. The color panoramic image is then overlaid with the black-and-white panoramic image to form an output panoramic image.

  • Publication number: 20150157295
    Abstract: The present invention provides an ultrasound system comprises a display and a pointer controller. The pointer controller has a probe head, a control unit and a probe body. The display displays a pointer and an ultrasound image according the ultrasound signals received by the probe head. When pushing a button of the probe body or handling the probe body in a specific manner, the control unit switches the probe head to control the pointer on the display from the scanning the ultrasound image.

  • Publication number: 20140292793
    Abstract: The invention discloses an image display device and an image processing method thereof. The image display device includes a processing module and a screen electrically connected to the processing module. The processing module receives a series of digital signals and displays an image frame on the screen based on a first signal—gray level relation. An image block is selected from the image frame. The series of digital signals and a subset of digital signals corresponding to the image block correspond to a first and a second gray level ranges, respectively. The first gray level range covers the second gray level range. The processing module generates a second signal—gray level relation based on the second gray level range and re-displays the image block on the screen based on the subset of digital signals and the second signal—gray level relation, so as to enhance the gray level resolution of the image block.

  • Patent number: 7116130
    Abstract: A method for effectively re-downloading data to a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). The method uses two Complex Programmable Logic Devices (CPLDs) to implement control functions of Write-to-Non-Volatile Random Access Memory (NVRAM) and Write-to-FPGA respectively, in conjunction with a set of connectors with a detection circuit, such that according to a detection state output by the detection circuit to one CPLD implemented with Write-to-FPGA control function, a write-to-NVRAM operation for data is determined if the detection state is logic low and conversely data is written from the NVRAM to the FPGA.
