Abstract: The disclosure relates to systems and methods for the production of hydrogen (H2) from ammonia (NH3) in a membrane reactor that include using ammonia as a sweep gas. Ammonia is converted to hydrogen and nitrogen (N2), and the hydrogen is separated from the nitrogen and unreacted ammonia by passing the hydrogen through a hydrogen-permeable membrane while using ammonia as a sweep gas. The ammonia sweep gas can be separated from the permeated hydrogen and continuously recycled.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for imaging a subject. A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system may use at least one RF coil to generate an initial MR data set for an initial image of the subject. The MRI system may use the initial MR image to determine a difference in orientation between a current orientation of the subject in the initial MR image and a target orientation of the subject. The MRI system may use the determined difference in orientation to determine an adjustment to a gradient pulse sequence for controlling at least one gradient coil. The MRI system may apply the determined adjustment to the gradient pulse sequence to obtain an adjusted gradient pulse sequence. The MRI system may generate an adjusted MR data set using the adjusted gradient pulse sequence, and a second MR image of the subject using the adjusted MR data set.

Abstract: An inductively coupled plasma dry etch process can obtain a deep etching profile in a piezoelectric material, such as lithium niobate, with minimum roughness and substantially vertical sidewalls. In addition, quality metal masks can be achieved by employing a hydrogen-plasma treatment prior to the processing steps. Periodic interruption steps can be included in the plasma dry etch procedure followed by a chemical cleaning between each cycle to avoid thermal effect and minimize byproduct redeposition during the long etching process. A deep etching profile in a piezoelectric material, such as a ScxAl1-xN film, can be attained with minimum roughness and substantially vertical sidewalls using wet etching and a patterned mask, where the patterned mask is formed using another mask.

Abstract: System and methods for massive data management and tagging are disclosed herein. A method for automated file linking can include creating a sample set of files from a set of files, at least some of the files including metadata. The method can include identifying common metadata between files in the sample set of files from the file set, and identifying at least one link, one of which links can include the common metadata between files in the sample set of files. The method can include identifying files in the set of files, each of the identified files containing the link in their metadata, generating an association between the files containing the link in their metadata, and storing the association between the files containing the link in their metadata.

Abstract: Image registration is described. In an embodiment an image registration system executes automatic registration of images, for example medical images. In an example, semantic information is computed for each of the images to be registered comprising information about the types of objects in the images and the certainty of that information. In an example a mapping is found to register the images which takes into account the intensities of the image elements as well as the semantic information in a manner which is weighted by the certainty of that semantic information. For example, the semantic information is computed by estimating posterior distributions for the locations of anatomical structures by using a regression forest and transforming the posterior distributions into a probability map. In an example the mapping is found as a global point of inflection of an energy function, the energy function having a term related to the semantic information.

Abstract: Medical image rendering is described. In an embodiment a medical image visualization engine receives results from an organ recognition system which provide estimated organ centers, bounding boxes and organ classification labels for a given medical image. In examples the visualization engine uses the organ recognition system results to select appropriate transfer functions, bounding regions, clipping planes and camera locations in order to optimally view an organ. For example, a rendering engine uses the selections to render a two-dimensional image of medical diagnostic quality with minimal user input. In an embodiment a graphical user interface populates a list of organs detected in a medical image and a clinician is able to select one organ and immediately be presented with the optimal view of that organ. In an example opacity of background regions of the medical image may be adjusted to provide context for organs presented in a foreground region.
