Patent number: 11922656Abstract: A method comprises inputting a treatment planning image of a target subject into a machine learning system. The method further comprises determining, by the machine learning system, a first target-subject-specific model of the treatment planning image. The method further comprises applying, by a processing device, the first target-subject-specific model to the treatment planning image to generate a transformed treatment planning image corresponding to a first position of a plurality of positions of the target subject. The method further comprises comparing the transformed treatment planning image to a reference image. The method further comprises, based on the comparing, modifying one or more parameters of the first target-subject-specific model to generate a second target-subject-specific model corresponding to a second position of the plurality of positions.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2020Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Accuray IncorporatedInventors: Calvin R. Maurer, Eric Schnarr, Rich Holloway, Jacob Shea, Charles Brandon Frederick, Kevin Gorczowski, Robert Elijah Broadhurst, Mark Foskey

Patent number: 8002645Abstract: Golf ball locators and components of such locators and methods of operating such locators and processing signals within such locators. In one aspect of the inventions described herein, an exemplary method of initializing a golf ball locator includes receiving received RF signals while also transmitting signals used to locate balls and determining a parameter representative of received signal strength of the received RF signals and setting a threshold to determine when subsequent received signals are to cause an indication of golf ball detection. In another aspect of this disclosure, the golf ball locator is a handheld unit having a volume of less than about 150 inches cubed and includes a transmitter, a transmit antenna, a receiver, a receive antenna and a processor coupled to the transmitter and to the receiver, and the handheld unit achieves a signal isolation, between a second harmonic of a transmitted signal from the transmitter and the receiver's received signal, of greater than about 130 to 160 dB.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2005Date of Patent: August 23, 2011Assignee: Radar CorporationInventors: Chris Savarese, Lauro C. Cadorniga, Forrest F. Fulton, Noel H. C. Marshall, John Glissman, Kenneth P. Gilliland, Marvin L. Vickers, Susan McGill, Mark A. Shea, James C. Scheller, Jr.

Publication number: 20110018337Abstract: Various brake control systems and methods are provided herein. In one implementation, a brake pressure control system having a shutoff valve (24) in a hydraulic conduit (26, 30) between a pressure origination source (16, 18) and a wheel brake (20), the shutoff valve selectively isolates the pressure origination source from the brake responsive to an indication that a wheel associated with the brake meets a skid condition, and an actuator assembly (28) comprising an actuator (34) that regulates fluid brake pressure after the shutoff valve isolates the pressure origination source from the brake. The actuator assembly operates independently of the shutoff valve and is coupled to the hydraulic conduit between the shutoff valve and the brake. The actuator assembly also effects displacement of the actuator for increasing and decreasing brake pressure. A controller (44) determines if the skid condition has been reached and controls the shutoff valve and the actuator assembly based upon the skid condition.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 12, 2009Publication date: January 27, 2011Inventors: John C. King, Mark A. Shea

Publication number: 20050203822Abstract: The invention includes a system and method of using life insurance to generate income for a property owner, the property owner's estate, and/or a developer of the land held by the property owner. One operation is identifying an insurable interest associated with a property and an individual with a property interest. Another operation is entering into a contractual relationship to create an insurable interest between a third party and the individual with a property interest to provide income to the individual with a property interest. Life insurance can be acquired on the life of the individual with a property interest in response to the contractual agreement. A face value of the life insurance is based at least in part on the property value. A financing party can also be permitted to pay premiums for the life insurance. The individual with a property interest can be paid at least a portion of the face value of the life insurance at least as early as a death benefit is paid.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 1, 2005Publication date: September 15, 2005Inventor: Mark Shea
