Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle can be configured to adjust a beam direction, provide path information, act as a base station, act as a cluster head, include an improved directional antenna or array of directional antennas, communicate in a collaboration using belief propagation, receive communications from a serving station aiding in navigation or improved signal performance, or the like.

Abstract: Systems, apparatus and methods are provided through which an injector system automates a process of injecting an individual dose from a multiple dose of a radiotracer material. In some embodiments, the injector system includes a first dose calibrator system that receives a multidose vial of a radiotracer, a second dose calibrator system, an injection pump and an intravenous needle. In some embodiments, the first dose calibrator system and the multidose vial have an integrated shape. In some embodiments, the first dose calibrator system includes a pneumatic arm that receives the multidose vial.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for detecting target object(s) within image(s) based on selective template matching. More specifically, the systems and methods relate to template generation, selection and matching based on the identification of regions of interest within image(s). Training images showing target object(s) can be obtained and regions of interest that are deemed more likely to contain part(s) of the target object can be identified based on the training images. Subsequent to the identification of regions of interest, templates for target object detection can be generated based thereon. Templates can be applied on testing images. Based on the test application of templates, a subgroup of templates can be selected to serve as a basis for target object detection in subsequent images.

Abstract: In one aspect, systems, methods and apparatus are provided through which a dispensing station dispenses a large quantity of a radiotracer to one or more positron emission tomography imaging stations. In some aspects a quality control unit verifies the quality of the radiotracer. In some embodiments, components of the system are coupled by a local area network. In some aspects, each positron emission tomography imaging station includes an injector system, a physiological monitoring device, and a positron emission tomography scanner. All of the devices can be controlled by a computer system.
