  • Patent number: 11013475
    Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for synthetic CT image creation that allow MR-only radiotherapy of cancer patients, e.g., head and neck (H&N) cancer patients, prostate cancer patients, patients with cancer of the pelvis, abdomen cancer patients, patients with cancer of the extremities, brain cancer patients, or thorax cancer patients. The methods and systems described herein feature image processing techniques that improve the similarity between CT and MR images prior to CT-MR image registration, as well as standardization of the MR intensity histograms prior to MR-MR registration. Application of the techniques result in more accurate assignment of the Hounsfield unit to each point in the synthetic CT compared to other atlas-based methods, providing for more accurate dosing in MR-only radiotherapy simulation and planning.

  • Patent number: 10832304
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes generating a first list of products to recommend to a user. The following steps are then repeated: removing a first product from the first list and placing the first product in a second list wherein the order of the products in the second list determines the order that products appear on a user interface; and comparing each remaining product in the first list to the product placed on the second list and moving products that are similar to the product placed on the second list further down in the first list. A user interface is then generated from the second list to show suggested products to a user.

  • Patent number: 9879504
    Abstract: An apparatus for routing and controlling pressure of hydraulic fluid to and from hydraulic actuator cylinders of oil and gas well blow-out preventers (BOP's), has rotary hydraulic flow control valve/actuator assemblies which use a pair of integral double-acting pneumatic actuator cylinders to drive a rack gear coupled to a spur gear located inside an actuator housing fixed to a valve rotor shaft that protrudes from the valve housing through an outer wall of the housing, and has a manually operable handle attached thereto, thus enabling multiple valve/actuator assemblies to be mounted side-by-side to an hydraulic manifold. The apparatus includes an adjustable pressure regulator which inputs hydraulic fluid at full and regulated pressure to the manifold, and a bypass valve which selectably inputs hydraulic fluid at full or regulated pressure to the flow control valves.

  • Publication number: 20170206581
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes accessing web page content for a product, the web page content comprising text tokens for at least two different fields of a web page that is displayed to convey information about the product. Respective weights of each field of the web page are retrieved and are used with the text tokens of each field to generate a product vector, where each unique text token provides a dimension of the product vector and the weights are used to provide a weight for each dimension. The product vector is used to identify products to recommend to a user and a user interface is displayed showing the identified products.

  • Publication number: 20170206582
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes determining a similarity score for a product by determining a similarity between a product vector for a product and a user vector for a user, determining a recency score for the product based on a date the product was made available at a retailer, and determining collaborative filtering score for the product based on the likelihood that people who bought another product would also buy the product. The similarity score, the recency score and the collaborative filtering score are combined to generate a total score for the product. Based on the total score for the product, a user interface is generated to recommend the product to the user.

  • Patent number: 9587454
    Abstract: A modular apparatus for controlling flow of pressurized hydraulic fluid to and from opening and closing hydraulic actuator cylinders of oil and gas well blow-out preventers (BOP's), utilizes novel rotary hydraulic valve/actuator assemblies, each of which uses a pair of integral double-acting pneumatic actuator cylinders that drive a rack gear coupled to a spur gear located inside the actuator housing which is fixed to a valve rotor shaft that protrudes forward from the valve housing and protrudes through an outer wall of the housing and has a manually operable handle attached thereto, thus enabling multiple valve/actuator assemblies to be mounted in a close side-by-side arrangement to an hydraulic manifold. An air control manifold panel for remotely energizing the pneumatic actuator cylinders includes opening and closing push button control valves on an air manifold connected through air hoses to the actuator cylinders.
