Patent number: 11883215Abstract: Systems and methods utilizing a two-way mirror display for patient self-positioning for dental x-ray image acquisition. The system includes a camera configured to capture an image of a patient, a display, a two-way mirror positioned between a patient location and the display, and an electronic processor. The electronic processor is configured to select, based upon a user input, an operating mode for the display; and based upon the selected operating mode, displaying at least one image on the display. The method includes receiving image data from a camera, identifying at least one facial feature of the patient in the image data, determining if a face of the patient is aligned with at least one anatomical plane based upon the at least one facial feature, and displaying at least one movement guide on a display based upon the determined alignment of the face of the patient.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2023Date of Patent: January 30, 2024Assignee: PaloDEx Group OYInventors: Mika Pollari, Tuomas Alhonnoro, Ville Inkiläinen, Maaria Rantala, Lauri Harhanen, Jorma Savolainen, Ari Metso

Patent number: 7403747Abstract: A method of tuning a station is disclosed, wherein a first pilot signal is applied on a circuit of the station and the resulting output power of the signal circuit is subsequently detected. A second pilot signal is then applied to the circuit and the resulting output power of the circuit is detected. The offset of the circuit is then tuned based on information of the resulting output power detected for the first and second signals. A station that is adapted to implement the method may be tuned by the manufacturer thereof or later after having already been taken into use. The tuning may occur automatically as response to a predefined event.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2002Date of Patent: July 22, 2008Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Tapio Kuiri, Ville Salmi, Jorma Savolainen

Patent number: 5870675Abstract: The invention is related to a method for improving handover in reception and transmission in a digital cellular mobile communication system including base stations and mobile stations, in which mobile station receives from a base station a handover command in the middle of speech reception or transmission on a first reception or transmission channel, whereby in the handover, the reception/transmission is changed to a second reception or transmission channel. Particularly the invention is related to mobile communication systems based on time division multiple access, in which transmission and reception occur in bursts in separate time slots. In the method according to the invention, speech is sampled, or, in transmission, it is A/D converted (32), and in reception, it is D/A converted (22) during the handover and stored in memory, e.g.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 1996Date of Patent: February 9, 1999Assignee: Nokia Mobile Phones, Ltd.Inventors: Mika Tuutijarvi, Raimo Klemetti, Jorma Savolainen, Eero Makikallio

Patent number: 5809399Abstract: The strength of the signal or carrier in one or more transfer channels near the receiving channel of a radio device operating in a radio telephone system is measured, for example, with a MAHO measurement. The measurement result is used to calculate the disturbance caused by the transfer channel to the receiving channel, and, based on the acquired result, the frequency response of a filter included by the receiver is adjusted, for example, by changing the width or slope of the passband.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 1996Date of Patent: September 15, 1998Assignee: Nokia Mobile Phones LimitedInventors: Mika Tuutijarvi, Raimo Klemetti, Jorma Savolainen, Eero Makikallio

Patent number: 5697074Abstract: A power control loop for a radio frequency transmitter includes a power control amplifier, an output and a detector that is coupled to the output for providing an output power signal indicative of output power from the power control loop. A controller generates at least first and second reference signals. A differential amplifier provides a control output that is indicative of a difference between the output power signal and a reference signal. A dual rate filter couples the control output to the power control amplifier so as to vary its gain. The dual rate filter exhibits a fast-reacting filter mode when the controller changes the reference signals to the differential amplifier and a slow-reacting filter mode when the controller applies the first reference signal to the differential amplifier. The fast filter mode enables rapid feedback of the control output to the power control amplifier.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 1995Date of Patent: December 9, 1997Assignee: Nokia Mobile Phones LimitedInventors: Eero Makikallio, Raimo Klemetti, Jorma Savolainen, Mika Tuutijarvi, Hannu Pakonen
