  • Publication number: 20250132170
    Abstract: Systems for processing articles are essential for semiconductor fabrication. These systems employ a variety of apparatuses for controlling flow. In one implementation, an apparatus for controlling flow may utilize a body having a flow path extending from an inlet to an outlet. A valve, a flow restrictor, and a pressure sensor are operably coupled to the flow path. The valve incorporates first and second actuators which enable control of mass flow rates of fluid flowing through the flow path.

  • Patent number: 12249008
    Abstract: A method for diagnostic imaging reconstruction uses a prior image xpr from a scan of a subject to initialize parameters of a neural network which maps coordinates in image space to corresponding intensity values in the prior image. The parameters are initialized by minimizing an objective function representing a difference between intensity values of the prior image and predicted intensity values output from the neural network. The neural network is then trained using subsampled (sparse) measurements of the subject to learn a neural representation of a reconstructed image. The training includes minimizing an objective function representing a difference between the subsampled measurements and a forward model applied to predicted image intensity values output from the neural network. Image intensity values output from the trained neural network from coordinates in image space input to the trained neural network are computed to produce predicted image intensity values.

    Abstract: A treatment planning prediction method to predict a Dose-Volume Histogram (DVH) or Dose Distribution (DD) for patient data using a machine-learning computer framework is provided with the key inclusion of a Planning Target Volume (PTV) only treatment plan in the framework. A dosimetric parameter is used as an additional parameter to the framework and which is obtained from a prediction of the PTV-only treatment plan. The method outputs a Dose-Volume Histogram and/or a Dose Distribution for the patient including the prediction of the PTV-only treatment plan. The method alleviates the complicated process of quantifying anatomical features and harnesses directly the inherent correlation between the PTV-only plan and the clinical plan in the dose domain. The method provides a more robust and efficient solution to the important DVHs prediction problem in treatment planning and plan quality assurance.
