  • Patent number: 11184216
    Abstract: A state control method includes detecting an operation execution event used for requesting to operate on a first object in a first application. The method also includes determining whether a next node of a current node of the first object in a hybrid state machine is a first state node or a first behavior-tree node. Nodes in the hybrid state machine includes at least a state node and a behavior-tree node, and a state change relationship exists among the nodes in the hybrid state machine. The method further includes, when it is determined that the next node is the first state node, performing on the first object an operation in a first state corresponding to the first state node; and, when it is determined that the next node is the first behavior-tree node, performing on the first object an operation in a first behavior-tree corresponding to the first behavior-tree node.

  • Patent number: 10957092
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a method and an apparatus for distinguishing objects. The method includes: obtaining a plurality of object groups displayed in an image, each object group including at least one target object, and a same resource being configured for target objects in different object groups; setting different mark values for the plurality of object groups, target objects in a same object group having a same mark value; and separately performing pixel correction on pixels of the target objects in each object group according to the mark value of each object group, pixels of the target objects having different mark values being corrected to have different display attributes.

  • Patent number: 10908235
    Abstract: A method of spatially imaging a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)parameter whose measurement requires the acquisition of spatially localized NMR signals in a sample includes placing the sample in an MRI apparatus with a plurality of MRI detectors each having a spatial sensitivity map; and applying MRI sequences adjusted to be sensitive to the NMR parameter. At least one of the MRI sequences is adjusted so as to substantially fully sample an image k-space of the sample. The remainder of the MRI sequences is adjusted to under-sample the image k-space. The method further includes acquiring image k-space NMR signal datasets; estimating a sensitivity map of each of the MRI detectors using a strategy to suppress unfolding artefacts; and applying the estimated sensitivity maps to at least one of the image k-space NMR signal data sets to reconstruct a spatial image of NMR signals that are sensitive to the NMR parameter.

  • Patent number: 7894875
    Abstract: A magnetic resonance method for imaging blood volume in parenchyma via magnetic transfer (MT) includes: determining a MT effect of parenchyma; determining a MT effect of tissue; and quantifying the parenchymal blood volume using the difference between the MT effect of parenchyma and the MT effect of tissue. In one embodiment, the parenchymal blood volume is quantified through the following: MTRpar=MTRtissue(1?BV/Vpar), where MTRpar is the magnetization transfer ratio of parenchyma, MTRtissue is the magnetization transfer ratio of tissue, BV is the blood volume, and Vpar is a total parenchymal water volume.
