Patent number: 11819362Abstract: A method is provided for generating an ultrasound image of an anatomical region having a volume. First image low resolution image data is enhanced by adapting a 3D anatomical model to the image data to generate a second, greater, quantity of ultrasound image data in respect of the anatomical region. The enhanced volumetric information is then displayed. An anatomical model is thus used to complete partial image data thereby increasing the image resolution, so that a high resolution volumetric image can be displayed with a reduced image capture time.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2018Date of Patent: November 21, 2023Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Tobias Wissel, Frank Michael Weber, Arne Ewald, Irina Waechter-Stehle

Patent number: 11777968Abstract: A method and device for handling an anomaly at a unit. The device is integrated into the unit. A variable is detected for handling attacks on the unit that defines an operation of the unit. A piece of information is determined depending on the variable that characterizes surroundings in which the unit is operated. It is checked depending on a comparison of the piece of information about the surroundings to a piece information about the setpoint surroundings for the operation of the unit, whether or not an anomaly is present in the operation of the unit. The unit is operated in a first operating mode having a first functional range, if no anomaly is detected. The unit is operated in a second operating mode having a second functional range, which is reduced or changed with regard to the first functional range, if an anomaly is detected.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2020Date of Patent: October 3, 2023Assignee: ROBERT BOSCH GMBHInventors: Michael Weber, Martin Ring

Patent number: 11713823Abstract: Example embodiments disclose a valve seat that encloses a fluid passage for passage of a fluid from a fluid chamber, and a holding element that exerts a holding force on a valve body, the holding force acting in a direction towards a valve seat. In the event that the fluid acts on an effective surface of the valve body with a force or a pressure above a limit value, the valve body moves away from the valve seat. In the event that the fluid acts on an effective surface of the holding element with a force or a pressure above a limit value, the holding force acting on the valve body decreases. In doing so, the fluid acts on the holding element more strongly and/or earlier than on the valve body.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2020Date of Patent: August 1, 2023Assignee: TRUMA GERÄTETECHNIK GmbH & CO.
