Patent number: 11915412Abstract: A cortical malformation identification method includes quantitatively evaluating, using a processor of a computer that includes the processor and a memory, digital image data from a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan on a cerebral cortex to produce quantified scan data. The method also includes automatically detecting a cortical malformation based on the quantified scan data. An image of the cerebral cortex may be color-coded so that the cortical malformation is shown in a different color than the remainder of the cerebral cortex in the image, based on the quantified scan data. Additionally or alternatively, a 3-dimensional representation of the cerebral cortex may be mapped to the quantified scan data to produce a mapped image of the cerebral cortex including the detected cortical malformation.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 2018Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Lyubomir Georgiev Zagorchev, Fabien Wenzel, Martin Bergtholdt, Houchun Hu, Jeffrey Miller, Carsten Meyer

Patent number: 11876616Abstract: Various examples relate to a wired local area network (WLAN) including a shared transmission medium. An apparatus includes a beacon counter and an operational mode controller. The beacon counter is operably coupled to a line of a shared transmission medium of a wired local area network. The beacon counter is to count beacon signals on the line and determine a beacon count over a predetermined time period, or a beacon rate of the beacon signals. The operational mode controller is to control the apparatus to take over operation as a master node of the wired local area network based, at least in part, on a maximum bus cycle length of bus cycles on the line and responsive to the beacon count or the beacon rate.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2022Date of Patent: January 16, 2024Assignee: Microchip Technology IncorporatedInventors: Michael Rentschler, Martin Miller, Thorben Link, Venkat Iyer
