  • Publication number: 20230013510
    Abstract: A method for indicating channel state information CSI measurement and a communication apparatus. A network device indicates, to a terminal device by using first indication information, one or more frequency domain units in a downlink reference signal resource that are used by the terminal device to obtain CSI. The terminal device determines, based on the first indication information, which frequency domain units in the downlink reference signal resource are used to obtain the CSI, and perform measurement in the frequency domain unit to obtain the CSI. The network device flexibly configures CSI measurement based on a system status, to control obtaining of the CSI. This helps the terminal device obtain the CSI more pertinently based on the indication in different cases.

  • Publication number: 20220416893
    Abstract: An ROF communication remote machine and an ROF system are disclosed. The machine comprises a first packaging module and a second packaging module. The first packaging module comprises a first branch and a second branch The first branch is used for converting a downlink optical signal, and sending the downlink electrical signal to the second packaging module. The second branch receives the downlink electrical signal, converts the downlink electrical signal into a downlink optical signal, sends the downlink optical signal to the local machine, receives an uplink electrical signal, and sends the uplink electrical signal to the local machine. The second packaging module is used for amplifying the power of the downlink electrical signal, filtering the downlink electrical signal, then feeding back the downlink electrical signal to another component, receiving the uplink electrical signal, and sending the uplink electrical signal to the second port.

  • Publication number: 20220407802
    Abstract: An identifier can indicate whether local protection is allowed is added to a packet. In a process in which a packet that carries a protection flag is transmitted along a primary path, if a node along the path determines that the primary path is faulty, but the protection flag indicates that local switching to a protection path is not allowed, the node along the path does not perform local protection, so that the packet is not switched by the node along the path to the protection path. This prevents the packet from passing through a protection path with the node along the path as an ingress when the primary path is faulty, helps traffic on the primary path to be switched to an end-to-end protection path in time, and helps a packet sending side to switch the traffic on the primary path to the end-to-end protection path in time.

  • Publication number: 20220378507
    Abstract: A method, system, medium, and implementations for computer-aided preoperative surgical planning are described. Input data acquired with respect to a part of a patient is received by the system. The part corresponds to an organ, e.g., lung, of the patient to be operated on and includes one or more lesions to be removed during an operation. Then, an anatomic 3D model of the part of the patient is generated. Based on the generated anatomic 3D model, a preoperative plan for linear-cutting stapler resection of the one or more lesions from the organ to be carried out during the operation is obtained. The stapler cartridge size and the staple length are estimated based on the preoperative plan. Further, the resection based on the preoperative plan is visualized.

  • Publication number: 20220375173
    Abstract: The present teaching relates to method, system, medium, and implementations for estimating 3D coordinate of a 3D virtual model. Two pairs of feature points are obtained. Each of the pairs includes a respective 2D feature point on an organ observed in a 2D image, acquired during a medical procedure, and a respective corresponding 3D feature point from a 3D virtual model, constructed for the organ prior to the procedure based on a plurality of images of the organ. The depths of the first and the second 3D feature points are substantially the same. A first 3D coordinate of the first 3D feature point and a second 3D coordinate of the second 3D feature point are automatically determined based on the pairs of feature points so that a first distance between the determined first 3D coordinate and the determined second 3D coordinate equals to a second distance between a first actual 3D coordinate of the first 3D feature point and a second actual 3D coordinate of the second 3D feature point in the 3D virtual model.

  • Patent number: 11504849
    Abstract: The present teaching relates to a method and system for path planning. A target is tracked via one or more sensors. Information of a desired pose of an end-effector with respect to the target and a current pose of the end-effector is obtained. Also, a minimum distance permitted between an arm including the end-effector and each of at least one obstacle identified between the current pose of the end-effector and the target is obtained. A weighting factor previously learned is retrieved and a cost based on a cost function is computed in accordance with a weighted smallest distance between the arm including the end-effector and the at least one obstacle, wherein the smallest distance is weighted by the weighting factor. A trajectory is computed from the current pose to the desired pose by minimizing the cost function.

  • Publication number: 20220361730
    Abstract: The present teaching relates to method, system, medium, and implementations for fusing a 3D virtual model with a 2D image associated with an organ of a patient. A key-pose is determined as an approximate position and orientation of a medical instrument with respect to the patient's organ. Based on the key-pose, an overlay is generated on a 2D image of the patient's organ, acquired by the medical instrument, by projecting the 3D virtual model on to the 2D image. A pair of feature points includes a 2D feature point from the 2D image and a corresponding 3D feature point from the 3D virtual model. The 3D coordinate of the 3D feature point is determined based on the 2D coordinate of the 2D feature point. The depth of the 3D coordinate is on a line of sight of the 2D feature point and is determined so that the projection of the 3D virtual model from the depth creates an overlay approximately matching the organ observed in the 2D image.
