  • Patent number: 9897678
    Abstract: Systems and methods for correcting magnetic resonance (MR) data are provided. One method includes receiving the MR data and correcting errors present in the MR data due to non-uniformities in magnetic field gradients used to generate the diffusion weighted MR signals. The method also includes correcting errors present in the MR data due to concomitant gradient fields present in the magnetic field gradients by using one or more gradient terms. At least one of the gradient terms is corrected based on the correction of errors present in the MR data due to the non-uniformities in the magnetic field gradients.

  • Patent number: 9749840
    Abstract: Generating and analyzing call detail records for various uses of mobile network resources includes, at a mobile network service bus configured to communicate with one or more service entities in a mobile core network, generating a first set of call detail records (CDRs) for messages received from the service entities in the mobile core network and a second set of CDRs for messages received from a tenant server that is providing an applications or a service on the mobile core network. Each of the CDRs included in the first set of CDRs and the second set of CDRs is tagged based on the processes involved in generating the particular CDR. Relationships are determined between the CDRs included in the first set of CDRs and the second set of CDRs based on the tagging and one or more of usage operations and network diagnostic operations are performed based on the relationships.

  • Patent number: 9720703
    Abstract: A system and computer program product provide processor initialization in different platform environments via a single code set. The system includes: in response to detecting a power-on operation of the processor, a microcontroller retrieving hardware procedures (HWP) framework code from a storage and triggering execution of the HWP framework code on the processor. The execution of the HWP framework code generates a HWP framework that comprises a plurality of application programming interfaces (APIs) which govern how all communication processes involving hardware procedures can be accomplished. The system further includes the microcontroller performing one or more initialization procedures by communicating one or more attribute data via the HWP framework to configure the processor for operation within a specific platform environment in which the processor is to be operated.

  • Patent number: 9720063
    Abstract: Systems and methods for generating a magnetic resonance (MR) image of a tissue are provided. A method includes acquiring MR raw data. The MR raw data corresponds to MR signals obtained at undersampled q-space locations for a plurality of q-space locations that is less than an entirety of the q-space locations and the MR signals at the q-space locations represent the three dimensional displacement distribution of the spins in the imaging voxel. The method also includes performing a joint image reconstruction technique on the MR raw data to exploit structural correlations in the MR signals to obtain a series of accelerated MR images and performing, for each image pixel in each accelerated MR image of the series of accelerated MR images, a compressed sensing reconstruction technique to exploit q-space signal sparsity to identify a plurality of diffusion maps.

  • Patent number: 9561669
    Abstract: A system directs a laser beam to mark a material with an alphanumeric code. Character and quality information corresponding to a mark to apply to the material with the laser beam can be received, a font definition that specifies character segments can be obtained, a set of multiple spaced locations can be generated from the character segments in accordance with the character and quality information, and the material can be marked with the laser beam by directing the laser beam to dwell at the locations and move between the locations without deactivating the laser beam.

  • Patent number: 8908951
    Abstract: A magnetic resonance (MR) imaging method includes acquiring MR signals having phase and magnitude at q-space locations using a diffusion sensitizing pulse sequence performed on a tissue of interest, wherein the acquired signals each include a set of complex Fourier encodings representing a three-dimensional displacement distribution of the spins in a q-space location. The signals each include information relating to coherent motion and incoherent motion in the q-space location. The method also includes determining a contribution by coherent motion to the phase of the acquired MR signals; removing the phase contribution attributable to coherent motion from the acquired MR signals to produce a complex data set for each q-space location and an image of velocity components for each q-space location; and producing a three-dimensional velocity image from the image of the velocity components.
