  • Patent number: 12254534
    Abstract: For creation of a movement-compensated image reconstruction in an x-ray based imaging method an optimal object movement trajectory is determined by application of a trained algorithm to an optimal latent vector and the movement-compensated image reconstruction is created depending on projection images, with the assumption that the object would have moved in accordance with the optimal object movement trajectory while the imaging method was being carried out.

  • Publication number: 20240388431
    Abstract: The described techniques address issues associated with current post-quantum cryptography (PQC) algorithms by providing a more efficient means of key expansion. Architectures are provided for both an accelerator and an expander, which may be implemented in accordance with any suitable type of cryptographic algorithm that utilizes key expansion, such as PQC algorithms, a key encapsulation mechanism (KEM) algorithm, a Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA), etc. The accelerator architecture enables portions of the expanded key to be generated only when required by a processing block, allowing for the reuse of memory, which allows for a reduction in memory size and thus a smaller footprint (i.e. physical size) compared to conventional architectures. The expander architecture reduces the required interactions and data transfers between the processing block and the key expansion block, thereby reducing the load on the processing block and system components, such as shared buses and bridges.

  • Patent number: 12135899
    Abstract: A device may include a buffer memory to buffer frames received or to be transmitted via a plurality of ports of the device. The device may include at least one frame processor to process frames. The device may include a buffer manager to store a frame in the buffer memory. The buffer manager may allocate at least one buffer control block (BCB) to the frame based on storing the frame in the buffer memory. The buffer manager may allocate a frame control block (FCB) to the frame. The FCB may include information that identifies the at least one BCB. The buffer manager may perform one or more queueing operations in association with processing of the frame by the at least one frame processor. The one or more queuing operations may be performed using information associated with the FCB.

  • Publication number: 20240362833
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for providing a three-dimensional (3D) results data set includes: acquiring projection maps of an object under examination which are captured from various projection directions by a medical X-ray device; providing an initial projection matrix based on a static model of the X-ray device; providing a further projection matrix by applying a trained function to input data, wherein the input data is based on the initial projection matrix and the projection maps, wherein at least one parameter of the trained function is adapted based on an image quality metric and/or a consistency metric, and wherein the further projection matrix is provided as output data of the trained function; and providing the 3D results data set through reconstruction from the projection maps by the further projection matrix.

  • Publication number: 20240040619
    Abstract: In some implementations, a device may identify a set of characteristics of a frame. The device may compute a first key index associated with the frame based on the set of characteristics and using a first key index function. The device may determine whether the first key index is associated with any collision entries from a set of collision entries. The device may determine a set of security parameters associated with the frame using a particular key index. The particular key index is either the first key index when the first key index is not associated with any collision entries from the set of collision entries, or is a second key index when the first key index is associated with a collision entry from the set of collision entries.
