Publication number: 20210272679Abstract: Ultrasound image recognition systems and methods, and artificial intelligence training networks for such systems and methods, are provided. An ultrasound data information system includes an ultrasound image recognition training network that is configured to receive ultrasound training images and to develop ultrasound image knowledge based on the received ultrasound training images. An ultrasound imaging device acquires ultrasound images of a patient, and the device includes an ultrasound image recognition module. The ultrasound image recognition module is configured to receive the ultrasound image knowledge, receive the acquired ultrasound images from the ultrasound imaging device, and determine, based on the ultrasound image knowledge, whether the received ultrasound images represent a clinically desirable view of an organ or whether the clinically desirable views indicate normal function or a particular pathology.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 12, 2021Publication date: September 2, 2021Inventors: Nikolaos Pagoulatos, Ramachandra Pailoor, Kevin Goodwin

Publication number: 20210079675Abstract: The present invention consists of a flexible pool fountain system that comprises modular segments that connect in a manner to form a conduit for the flow of water from the return inlet of a pools circulation system and in a direction to form a positional fountain feature. The connections are linked by male to female sockets that allow multi-axial positioning and the retention of shape until the system is repositioned. The flexible design permits the system of segments to be compact and have a minimal profile above and below the waterline. Within the system of conduit segments an inline sliding T-valve is used to enable the control of force at which the fountain is emitted onto the pools surface. The flexibility of the conduit segments also allows for the system to facilitate optimal positioning of a pools water return jet circulation flow.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 16, 2019Publication date: March 18, 2021Inventor: Kevin Goodwin

Patent number: 10507521Abstract: A mould for casting a component in a directional solidification casting process having a preferred direction of grain growth (non-axial <001>) comprises a shell defining a cavity for receiving molten material. The cavity defines a three dimensional shape made up of a finished component geometry portion (42, 43, 44) and a sacrificial geometry portion (45) wherein the sacrificial geometry portion (45) includes a notch (48) which is shaped and positioned so as to, in use, contain high angle grain boundaries between dendritic growth in the preferred direction (non-axial <001>) and dendritic growth in a competing direction to the preferred direction (axial <001>) within the sacrificial geometry portion of a casting solidifying in the mould.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 2017Date of Patent: December 17, 2019Assignee: ROLLS-ROYCE plcInventors: Martin R Perry, Kevin Goodwin, Neil Dsouza

Patent number: 9850563Abstract: Producing a Ni superalloy component in which the superalloy has a ? phase matrix containing intermetallic ?? precipitates. Providing a Ni superalloy casting of the component; solutioning the component by heat treating the casting under vacuum and/or in an inert atmosphere at a temperature above the ?? solvus to homogenize the ? phase; quenching and ageing the solutioned component to grow intermetallic ?? precipitates in the homogenized ? phase. Before the solutioning step: heat treating the casting to produce a thermally grown oxide on the surface, oxide adherent to supress volatilization of Ni from the surface of the casting during the solutioning heat treatment. Performing the solutioning step under a Ni vapor pressure which is sufficient to supress volatilization of Ni from the surface of the casting during the solutioning heat treatment. During the solutioning heat treatment the component is encapsulated in a container protecting the casting from Si-doped contaminants.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2015Date of Patent: December 26, 2017Assignee: ROLLS-ROYCE plcInventors: Neil John D'Souza, Kevin Goodwin, Martin Richard Perry
