  • Publication number: 20240087314
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus to measure brand exposure in media streams are disclosed. Example apparatus disclosed herein are to determine a first histogram based on at least one of luminance components or chrominance components of a first frame of video, and determine a second histogram based on at least one of luminance components or chrominance components of a second frame of the video. Disclosed example apparatus are also to detect a transition in the video based on the first histogram and the second histogram, and responsive to the detection of the transition in the video. Disclosed example apparatus are further to process a region of interest within at least one of the first frame or the second frame to detect a logo in the region of interest.

  • Patent number: 9956430
    Abstract: A remote control system is configured to support communication between a first environment having a first neutron radiation level and a second environment having a second neutron radiation level includes a first computing device and a second computing device. The first computing device is configured to control a treatment system in the first environment. The second computing device is configured to issue commands in the second environment for the treatment system. The first computing device is further configured to determine whether to enable or disable a function supported by the treatment system, determine whether there is pending time-sensitive data to transmit, and periodically transmit a first radiation therapy data collected in the first environment and a first interrupt to the second computing device in a servo loop.

  • Patent number: 8675820
    Abstract: A device for use with a radiation machine includes a first cone collimator, wherein the first cone collimator has a first end for receiving a radiation beam, a collimating portion for changing the radiation beam, and a second end for emitting an output beam, and wherein the first cone collimator is configured to be detachably coupled to a coupling device that has a plurality of moveable switches, and has one or more engaging portions configured to engage with a first subset of the plurality of switches. A method of using a cone collimator includes receiving a portion of a cone collimator, determining a subset of a plurality of switches that is pressed by the cone collimator, and determining an identity of the cone collimator based on the subset of the plurality of switches that is pressed by the cone collimator.
