  • Publication number: 20200380673
    Abstract: Computed tomography (CT) screening, diagnosis, or another image analysis tasks are performed using one or more networks and/or algorithms to either integrate complementary tomographic image reconstructions and radiomics or map tomographic raw data directly to diagnostic findings in the machine learning framework. One or more reconstruction networks are trained to reconstruct tomographic images from a training set of CT projection data. One or more radiomics networks are trained to extract features from the tomographic images and associated training diagnostic data. The networks/algorithms are integrated into an end-to-end network and trained. A set of tomographic data, e.g., CT projection data, and other relevant information from an individual is input to the end-to-end network, and a potential diagnosis for the individual based on the features extracted by the end-to-end network is produced.

  • Publication number: 20200353285
    Abstract: Methods and systems for performing optogenetics using X-rays or ultrasound waves are provided. Visible-light-emitting nanophosphors can be provided to a sample, and X-ray stimulation can be used to stimulate the nanophosphors to emit visible light. Alternatively, ultrasonic waves can be provided to the sample to cause sonoluminescence, also resulting in emission of visible light, and this can be aided by the use of a chemiluminescent agent present in the sample. The emitted light can trigger changes in proteins that modulate membrane potentials in neuronal cells.

  • Patent number: 10764312
    Abstract: An anomaly detection system that performs data aggregation against user-defined subsets of multiple variable columns within an aggregation table. Various embodiments enable users to generate rules by defining values for user-defined subsets of variables of an aggregation table that is used to deploy numerous other rules. Thus, if an aggregation table includes hundreds of columns each associated with discrete variables, a user may generate rules for aggregating data into specific variable columns of the aggregation table rather than into all of the hundreds of variable columns. The user may also define a sliding time window for the rule to be applied against and to set an occurrence threshold for the user-defined sliding time window. When a rule is triggered, the anomaly detection system may automatically generate a post-analysis table by preemptively and selectively populating the post-analysis table with values of event data indicated by a cardinality threshold and/or filter parameters.

  • Publication number: 20200273215
    Abstract: A machine-learning-based monochromatic CT image reconstruction method is described for quantitative CT imaging. The neural network is configured to learn a nonlinear mapping function from a training data set to map a CT image, which is reconstructed from a single spectral current-integrating projection data set, to monochromatic projections at a pre-specified energy level, realizing monochromatic CT imaging and overcoming beam hardening. An apparatus, method and/or system are configured to determine, by a trained artificial neural network (ANN), a monochromatic projection data set based, at least in part, on a measured CT image. The measured CT image may be reconstructed based, at least in part, on measured projection data. The measured projection data may be polychromatic. The apparatus, method and/or system may be further configured to reconstruct a monochromatic CT image based, at least in part, on the monochromatic projection data set.

  • Patent number: 10685634
    Abstract: Techniques have been developed to facilitate (1) the capture and pitch correction of vocal performances on handheld or other portable computing devices and (2) the mixing of such pitch-corrected vocal performances with backing tracks for audible rendering on targets that include such portable computing devices and as well as desktops, workstations, gaming stations, even telephony targets. Implementations of the described techniques employ signal processing techniques and allocations of system functionality that are suitable given the generally limited capabilities of such handheld or portable computing devices and that facilitate efficient encoding and communication of the pitch-corrected vocal performances (or precursors or derivatives thereof) via wireless and/or wired bandwidth-limited networks for rendering on portable computing devices or other targets.

  • Patent number: 10672375
    Abstract: Vocal musical performances may be captured and continuously pitch-corrected at a mobile device for mixing and rendering with backing tracks in ways that create compelling user experiences. In some cases, the vocal performances of individual users are captured in the context of a karaoke-style presentation of lyrics in correspondence with audible renderings of a backing track. Such performances can be pitch-corrected in real-time at the mobile device in accord with pitch correction settings. In some cases, such pitch correction settings code a particular key or scale for the vocal performance or for portions thereof. In some cases, pitch correction settings include a score-coded melody sequence of note targets supplied with, or for association with, the lyrics and/or backing track. In some cases, pitch correction settings are dynamically variable based on gestures captured at a user interface.

  • Patent number: 10643354
    Abstract: Systems and methods for geometric calibration and image reconstruction in computed tomography (CT) scanning using iterative reconstruction algorithms are provided. An iterative reconstruction algorithm can be used to reconstruct an improved image, and then the improved image can be used to adjust inaccurate parameters by using a Locally Linear Embedding (LLE) method. Adjusted parameters can then be used to reconstruct new images, which can then be used to further adjust the parameters. The steps of this iterative process can be repeated until a quality threshold is met.
