  • Publication number: 20210136465
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, system, and computer program product provide the ability to enhance linear video content. Linear video content is received. A request to enhance the linear video content is received. Based on the request, a toolbar with options for enhanced content is rendered. One or more of the options are selected. Based on the selection, the enhanced content is invoked simultaneously with a rendering of the linear video content.

  • Patent number: 9995808
    Abstract: Systems and methods for performing MRI include using a RF gradient field for spatial encoding. In particular implementations, |B+i|-selective pulses designed using the Shinnar-Le Roux algorithm can be provided as the excitation pulse for the RF gradient field. Further, frequency encoding for the RF gradient field can be based on the Bloch-Siegert (BS) shift. Together, these techniques can be used to support MRI based on RF gradient encoding instead of the conventional Bo encoding.

  • Publication number: 20150253403
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention concern systems and methods for performing MRI using RF gradients for spatial encoding. One aspect of the invention involves providing |B1+|-selective pulses designed using the Shinnar-Le Roux algorithm. Another aspect of the invention involves RF encoding based on the Bloch-Siegert (BS) shift. Together, these techniques can be used to support MRI based on RF gradient encoding instead of the conventional B0 encoding.

  • Patent number: 8923948
    Abstract: Systems and methods for characterizing bone structures are provided for characterizing bone structures. In the system and method, one or more 1H NMR or MRI signals associated with a bone structure are obtained. Thereafter one or more signal parameters are computed from the obtained signals, where each of the signal parameters comprising at least one of a relaxation rate constant or a corresponding signal amplitude associated with a component of the obtained signals defined by a T2 value or a range of T2 values. Finally, the mechanical properties or fracture risk for the bone structure are determined based on the computed signal parameters and stored correlation data.

  • Publication number: 20140143046
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, system, and computer program product provide the ability to select and display advertisements. A request for advertisements is issued to an advertisement server. An advertisement package comprised of a set of advertisements is received from the advertisement server. The set of advertisements from the advertisement package are loaded. Advertisements in the set of advertisements are delivered for display by display devices. The advertisements that are displayed are tracked in a log that is uploaded to the advertisement server.

  • Publication number: 20140123175
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer program product provide the ability to select and display advertisements. A media content viewing session is commenced. During the session, media content is displayed on a display/media content viewing device (e.g., a television or monitor). A set of advertisements are maintained in an advertisement selection receiver. During the session, the advertisement selection receiver determines, selects, and displays advertisements from the set of advertisements.
