Abstract: An HCC converter valve current measurement strategy, which includes installing a current transformer acquisition device on each arm of the current transformer configuration topology to measure the converter arm current. Each current transformer acquisition device is simultaneously connected to a valve control device and a polarization control device. The valve control device measures the DC bus current and the AC current on the converter transformer valve side for active shutdown judgment, while the polarization control device simultaneously measures the arm current, DC bus current, and AC current on the converter transformer valve side for valve fault judgment. This strategy meets the current measurement requirements of the composite HCC new high-voltage DC converter, serves as a control strategy criterion and equipment protection criterion, and ensures the normal operation of the converter.

Abstract: A 3D shape is reconstructed from a topogram. A generative network is machine trained. The generative network includes a topogram encoder for inputting the topogram and a decoder to output the 3D shape from the output of the encoder. For training, one or more other encoders are included, such as for input of a mask and/or input of a 3D shape as a regularlizer. The topogram encoder and decoder are trained with the other encoder or encoders outputting to the decoder. For application, the topogram encoder and decoder as trained, with or without the encoder for the mask and without the encoder for the 3D shape, are used to estimate the 3D shape for a patient from input of the topogram for that patient.

Abstract: Machine learning is used to train a network to estimate a three-dimensional (3D) body surface and body regions of a patient from surface images of the patient. The estimated 3D body surface of the patient is used to determine an isocenter of the patient. The estimated body regions are used to generate heatmaps representing visible body region boundaries and unseen body region boundaries of the patient. The estimation of 3D body surfaces, the determined patient isocenter, and the estimated body region boundaries may assist in planning a medical scan, including automatic patient positioning.
