  • Publication number: 20200349696
    Abstract: A method and a system are for calculating an output from a tomographic scrollable image stack, including a large number of generated sectional images of a tissue to be examined. In this context, a tomographic scrollable image stack is received. An output for a display is calculated. The output includes a primary image that is intended for representing the received image stack, and the output includes a secondary image with additional information. The secondary image is displayed overlaid on the primary image once an unhide signal or hide signal is received. In this context, a reference may be provided between the additional information of the secondary image and the slice of tissue for examination that is shown in the sectional image of the image stack.

  • Patent number: 10809958
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for configuring a group of displays. A grouping of display devices that are to be combined to form an integrated display is identified. A prompt is generated for user input indicative of a spatial arrangement of the display devices. In response to the prompt, a series of user inputs is received by one or more input sensors. Based on the series of user inputs, the spatial arrangement of the display devices is estimated. Based on the estimated spatial arrangement of the display devices, portions of display data are mapped to the display devices. The mapped portions of the display data are rendered on the display devices to form an integrated display.

  • Patent number: 10757057
    Abstract: Technologies are generally described for providing a system to facilitate efficient management and prioritization of conversations, such as emails, in a communication application. Conversations may be prioritized according to user preferences, and an inbox may be rearranged to display important conversations in a user defined order. Conversations may also be associated together so that they may appear together and flow together in the inbox. Additionally, the system may enable a user to delay display of a conversation until a later time based on various criteria such as location, time, and client device. A user may also move important emails to the top of an inbox for prominent display. The system may perform the actions automatically based on observed user behavior. Furthermore, the system may enable touch interactions for interacting with and managing the conversations, and quick controls may be provided for executing commands to perform actions associated with the conversations.

  • Publication number: 20200126272
    Abstract: A method is for the reconstruction of an image data set from projection images of an examination object recorded at different projection directions with a computed tomography apparatus. In an embodiment, the method includes establishing an item of contour information describing a contour of at least one of the examination object and the additional object; enhancing projection data of the projection images via forward projection in regions in which at least one of the examination object and the additional object was not acquired; and reconstructing the image data set based upon the projection data enhanced. The examination object and the additional object are acquired from sensor data of at least one camera. Finally, an item of sensor information at least partially describing at least one of the is of the examination object and of the additional object being established and used for establishing the contour information.

  • Patent number: 10417991
    Abstract: A system for modifying a user interface in a multi-display device environment described herein can include a processor and a memory storing instructions that cause the processor to detect a number of display screens coupled to the system. The plurality of instructions can also cause the processor to split an image to generate sub-images based on the number of display screens and a bezel size corresponding to each of the display screens, the sub-images to exclude portions of the image corresponding to the bezel size of each of the display screens. Additionally, the plurality of instructions can cause the processor to resize each of the sub-images based on a display size of each of the display screens and display the image by transmitting the sub-images to the display screens.

  • Publication number: 20180246635
    Abstract: Information about foreground and background regions in an image are used in a graphical user interface to combine the image with one or more user interface elements. The combination of the image and user interface element can change interactively. The combined image and user interface element can provide a sense of depth to the user interface. A server computer can include an image library to store pixel data for an image and metadata describing foreground and background regions of an image. A user interface object can represent the combination of an image and a user interface element by including references to the foreground and background regions of an image, and a reference to one or more user interface elements, and data specifying a different z-ordering for each of the foreground region, the background region and the user interface element, and properties to be applied to the user interface element.

  • Patent number: 10013664
    Abstract: Techniques disclosed herein facilitate the use of the primary work queue within an information management application as a centralized access point for creating and viewing multiple types of new draft items such as a note, to-do, or message item. An information management application can receive a new item request through its user interface and initiate a new draft item in response to the new item request. A view of new draft item can then be surfaced in a primary work queue of the information management application. The item type of the new draft item may be different than other item types in the primary work queue.
