Patent number: 11583235Abstract: The invention relates to a problem of setting mutual position of an anatomy being imaged and imaging means of a computed tomography imaging apparatus so that specifically the very volume of the anatomy desired to be imaged actually is imaged. To further the positioning, a positioning tool in a form of a three-dimensional virtual positioning model (40), generated from the anatomy to be imaged, is shown on a display from which the volume (41) of the anatomy desired to be imaged can be pointed, selected or defined.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2020Date of Patent: February 21, 2023Assignee: PLANMECA OYInventors: Mikko Jarva, Kustaa Nyholm

Patent number: 10652762Abstract: Enhanced quality of service of a cellular radio access network is provided by monitoring the operation of the network for predicting failures. For each of the predicted failures, a proactive maintenance plan is created and an alternative network configuration determined, in which alternative network configuration the impact of the planned maintenance operations is less than in the current (non-alternative) network configuration. Additionally, timing of the maintenance operations is decided based on a network traffic estimate and the network is automatically reconfigured into the alternative network configuration prior to the selected maintenance operation time. According to an embodiment, the object is achieved by means of a Pre-emptive Maintenance Node (PEM) connected to the telecommunications network, such as to an LTE or LTE-A network.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2015Date of Patent: May 12, 2020Assignee: Comptel CorporationInventors: Matti Aksela, Markus Ojala, Mikko Jarva, Timo Similä, Jaakko Virtanen
