  • Methods and Systems for Detecting an Object in a Subject with Ultrasound
    Publication number: 20150320384
    Abstract: A system and method for detecting, via ultrasound, a concretion in a subject are provided. One or more ultrasound pulses are transmitted into the concretion and at least one object of interest, such as a bubble, present in the concretion. Reflection signals from the concretion and the bubble are then contrasted using the twinkling artifact, and a filter removes motion signals. An output device, such as a display, provides an indication of the presence of the concretion based on the reflection signals.

  • Methods and Systems for Estimating a Size of an Object in a Subject with Ultrasound
    Publication number: 20150320383
    Abstract: A system and method for determining, via ultrasound, a size of a concretion in a subject are provided. One or more ultrasound pulses are transmitted into a tissue in the subject, which are then reflected from the tissue and received by the ultrasound transducer. A shadow region obscured by the concretion that does not provide reflected signals is generated, and the width of the shadow region is measured. The width of the object is determined based on the width of the shadow region.

  • Multiple application activation
    Patent number: 8725790
    Abstract: A technique for multiple application activation is disclosed. The technique includes a client device receiving from a server an indication of applications available to purchase and a user selecting at least two of the indicated applications to be purchased. Then at least one of the applications is automatically received on the networked computer in response to the applications being selected. A second of the applications is automatically received after the first application has been received. While the second application is being received, the first of the applications is automatically installed and activated.
