Patent number: 12451805Abstract: To reduce sub-harmonic oscillations in a Switched-Mode Power Supply (SMPS). a ramp generator circuit of the SMPS produces a ramp signal having an amplitude corresponding to a sensed current through an energy storage device, such as an inductor, of the SMPS. The ramp signal is used to control a duty cycle of the SMPS. The ramp generator circuit may include a reference current circuit, a ramp capacitor, and a discharge circuit to periodically discharge the ramp capacitor. The ramp capacitor may be charged using a charging current produced by combining a feedback current corresponding to the sensed current with a reference current produced by the reference current circuit and may be periodically discharged at a fixed frequency, or may be charged using the reference current and discharged at a time determined according to the feedback current.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2023Date of Patent: October 21, 2025Assignee: GlobalFoundries U.S. Inc.Inventor: Matthias Hoffmann

Patent number: 10235753Abstract: A method for automatic recognition of at least one anatomical landmark in a hollow organ of a patient is provided. The method includes providing an image dataset of the hollow organ, establishing or providing a three-dimensional mesh of a surface of the hollow organ from the image dataset, and determining a centerline of the mesh by skeletization. At least one feature is determined for each of a plurality of points on the centerline. A classifier pre-trained on the at least one feature is used for detecting candidates for the at least one anatomical landmark from the plurality of points. The candidates are grouped together with a distance from one another below a threshold. At least one specification determined from the anatomy of the hollow organ is used for confirming or rejecting the candidates for the at least one anatomical landmark. One or more candidates are defined as an anatomical landmark.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2017Date of Patent: March 19, 2019Assignee: SIEMENS HEALTHCARE GMBHInventors: Matthias Hoffmann, Norbert Strobel
