While the first tube remains extended along the first route and the second tube remains extended along the second route, an imaging device (128), extended from the end of the first tube, is used to image a tool (138) extended from the end of the second tube, and a target (40) within the lung. The tool can be used to perform a procedure on the target, guided by the imaging of the target and the tool. Other embodiments are also described.

Abstract: Optical sample characterization facilitates measurement and testing at any angle in a full range of angles of light propagation through an optical sample, such as a coated glass plate, having a higher than air index of refraction. A rotatable assembly includes a cylinder having a hollow, and a receptacle including the hollow. The receptacle also contains a fluid with a known refractive index. An optical light beam is input normal to the surface of the cylinder, travels through the cylinder, then via the fluid, to the optical sample, where light beam is transmitted and/or reflected, then exits the cylinder and is collected for analysis. Due at least in part to the fluid surrounding the optical sample, the optical sample can be rotated through a full range of angles (±90°, etc.) for full range testing of the optical sample.

Abstract: Hierarchical Power Management (HPM) architecture considers the limits of scaling on a power management controller, the autonomy at each die, and provides a unified view of the package to a platform. At a simplest level, HPM architecture has a supervisor and one or more supervisee power management units (PMUs) that communicate via at least two different communication fabrics. Each PMU can behave as a supervisor for a number of supervisee PMUs in a particular domain. HPM addresses these needs for products that comprise a collection of dice with varying levels of power and thermal management capabilities and needs. HPM serves as a unified mechanism than can span collection of dice of varying capability and function, which together form a traditional system-on-chip (SoC). HPM provides a basis for managing power and thermals across a diverse set of dice.

Abstract: Systems and methods for image processing (e.g., image correction) are described. Embodiments of the present disclosure include image processing techniques that reduce or remove Moiré patterns by leveraging low resolution images (e.g., images captured using low resolution sensors, such as an ultra-wide camera). For instance, an image including a Moiré pattern may be corrected based on a second image having a low resolution. In one example, a device may capture a high resolution image that includes a Moiré pattern. The device may also capture a low resolution image that is aligned with the high resolution image and used to correct (e.g., remove) the Moiré pattern. In some embodiments, the systems and techniques described herein may be implemented in real-time on a user device (e.g., that includes a high resolution image sensor and a low resolution image sensor) for efficient and effective correction of Moiré patterns in image/video capture applications.
