Patent number: 9860804Abstract: Methods, systems, apparatuses, and devices are described for transmitting a measurement report during wireless communications. When, for example, a low-power period (e.g., CDRX OFF period) is scheduled to begin during a time defined by a measurement event timer (TTT timer), a UE may modify the low-power period. The low-power period may be modified based, at least in part on determining the low-power period of the UE will begin during a time defined by a measurement event timer, a duration of the measurement event timer, and a duration of the low-power period. Modifying the low-power period may include delaying the start of the low-power state until after transmission of the MR associated with the measurement event timer or skipping the low-power period altogether. The UE may transmit the MR based, at least in part, on the modification.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2014Date of Patent: January 2, 2018Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Yongle Wu, Vishu Kumar, Amit Mahajan, Udayan Murli Bhawnani, Won-Joon Choi, Shivratna Giri Srinivasan, Osama Nafeth Saleem Alrabadi, Dominique Francois Bressanelli, Marian Madan, Mohamed Khalifa, Florina Andreea Prisecaru

Patent number: 9574916Abstract: A vortex flowmeter may utilize a ring-shaped bluff body as the vortex generator or shedder. The ring shape and size of the vortex ring generator may be optimized to produce linear and stable toroidal vortex outputs that may outperform the conventional shedder bar. In comparison to the conventional vortex shedder bar, the ring may have a slimmer configuration and a higher K-factor, and hence, a higher resolution.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2015Date of Patent: February 21, 2017Assignee: YOKOGAWA CORPORATION OF AMERICAInventor: Mohamed Khalifa

Patent number: 9424656Abstract: To increase the timeliness, objectivity, and efficiency in evaluating surgical procedures such as those performed by ophthalmology residents' learning of cataract surgery, an automatic analysis system for surgeries such as cataract surgery is provided to assess performance, particularly in the capsulorrhexis step on the Kitaro simulator. Computer vision technologies are employed to measure performance of this critical step including duration, centrality, circularity, size, as well as motion stability during the capsulorrhexis procedure. Consequently, a grading mechanism is established based on either linear regression or non-linear classification via Support Vector Machine (SVM) of those computed measures. Comparisons of expert graders to the computer vision based approach have demonstrated the accuracy and consistency of the computerized technique.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2015Date of Patent: August 23, 2016Assignee: University of RochesterInventors: Jiebo Luo, Junhuan Zhu, Yousuf Mohamed Khalifa

Patent number: 9279706Abstract: Certain embodiments herein relate to configurations for reducing the flow area for fluids traveling through a Vortex flowmeter. Such configurations may establish a minimum required Reynolds number consistent with optimized performance of the Vortex flowmeter. Various configurations for achieving optimized performance may include inserting one or more segments or a streamlined, torpedo-shaped body into a bore of a meter body of the Vortex flowmeter to block a certain cross-sectional area of the bore. By reducing the cross-sectional area of the bore, the Reynolds number of fluids may be increased to the optimized level. Another configuration may include reducing the diameter of the bore of the meter body. Any of these configurations may be implemented to achieve a desired Reynolds number, and hence, optimized performance. Certain embodiments herein also relate to determining or calculating precise or near precise sizes for segment insertions, torpedo body diameters, and diameters of the meter body.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2014Date of Patent: March 8, 2016Assignee: Yokogawa Corporation of AmericaInventor: Mohamed Khalifa

Patent number: 9171477Abstract: A Method and System For Recognizing and Assessing Surgical Procedures from a video or series of still images is described. Evaluation of surgical techniques of residents learning skills in areas such as cataract surgery is an important aspect of the learning process. The use of videos has become common in such evaluations, but is a time consuming manual process. The present invention increases the efficiency and speed of the surgical technique evaluation process by identifying and saving only information that is relevant to the evaluation process. Using image processing techniques of the present invention, an anatomic structure of a surgical procedure is located on a video, timing of predefined surgical stages is determined, and measurements are taken from frames of the predefined surgical stages to allow the performance of a surgeon to be assessed in an automated and efficient manner.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2014Date of Patent: October 27, 2015Assignee: UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTERInventors: Jiebo Luo, Junhuan Zhu, Yousuf Mohamed Khalifa
