  • Publication number: 20190304143
    Abstract: A method of beamforming datasets from a tomographic detection system. The system comprises scintillation detectors that are arranged in D detector pairs, D?1, wherein the detectors are adapted to count radiation hits. According to the method in one aspect, a tomographic dataset is received for each detector pair coordinates (?d, pd) of a detector pair d of the D detector pairs, so as to obtain a plurality of tomographic datasets. Each of said datasets is associated with respective detector pair coordinates (?d, pd). Then, for each point y of interest, the received datasets are coherently combined by weighting the datasets according to respective beamforming weights d(y)=?(?d, pd; y), based on said respective detector pair coordinates (?d, pd) and coordinates of said each pointy of interest. This way, a signal focusing on said each pointy is obtained. Related tomographic detection systems and computer program products may be also presented.

  • Patent number: 10293994
    Abstract: A cleanable lid assembly is provided for a beverage container. The lid assembly has a lid housing having a drink aperture, and a seal assembly that is connected to the lid housing while movable between a first or operable position and a second or cleaning position. The seal assembly has a stopper that can open and close the drink aperture in the first position. The seal assembly is pivotally connected to the lid housing to transition to the cleaning position. A locking member extends transversely from the seal assembly to engage a stop on the lid housing and lock the seal assembly in the operable position. The locking member is moveable radially inward to disengage from the stop and to allow the seal assembly to transition from the first position to the cleaning position.

  • Patent number: 10283834
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to methods and apparatuses for beamforming signals or compute beamformed signals. The present approach is to determine a series of beams from or for a set of devices configured for receiving signals from and/or transmitting signals to one or more regions of interest in an n-dimensional space, with n=2 or 3. Each of the devices has a known position pi within said n-dimensional space. Signals are to be respectively transmitted or received non-uniformly in this space, i.e., according to the particular regions of interest. During a first phase, operations are performed in order to successively obtain a spatial filter function {circumflex over (?)}(r), a beamforming function ?(p), and beamforming weights ?(pi). The spatial filter function {circumflex over (?)}(r) matches projections of the regions of interest onto an n?1-dimensional sphere centered on said set of devices.

  • Patent number: 10217249
    Abstract: The present invention is notably directed to a computer-implemented method for image reconstruction. The method comprises: accessing elements that respectively correspond to measurement values, which can be respectively mapped to measurement nodes; and performing message passing estimator operations to obtain estimates of random variables associated with variable nodes, according to a message passing method in a bipartite factor graph. In this message passing method: the measurement values are, each, expressed as a term that comprises linear combinations of the random variables; each message exchanged between any of the measurement nodes and any of the variable nodes is parameterized by parameters of a distribution of the random variables; and performing the message passing estimator operations further comprises randomly mapping measurement values to the measurement nodes, at one or more iterations of the message passing method.

  • Patent number: 10102649
    Abstract: The present invention is notably directed to computer-implemented methods and systems for recovering an image. Present methods comprise: accessing signal data representing signals; identifying subsets of points arranged so as to span a region of interest as current subsets of points; reconstructing an image based on current subsets of points, by combining signal data associated to the current subsets of points; detecting one or more signal features in a last image reconstructed; for each of the detected one or more signal features, modifying one or more subsets of the current subsets, so as to increase, for each of the modified one or more subsets, a relative number of points at a location of said each of the detected one or more signal features.

  • Patent number: 10064506
    Abstract: An openable and closeable lid assembly is provided for a beverage container. The lid assembly comprises a lid housing, an actuator and a seal. The lid housing has an upper surface with a drink aperture and an actuator aperture extending therethrough. The actuator extends through the actuator aperture and is positionable in an open position, where liquid can pass through the drink aperture, and a closed position, where the drink aperture is closed. A seal is provided adjacent the actuator aperture. The seal seals against the actuator and the lid housing to prevent liquid from escaping out the actuator aperture.

  • Patent number: 9936830
    Abstract: A pitcher is provided having a container body and a lid sealing assembly. The container body has a liquid retaining cavity. A pour aperture is fluidly associated with the cavity to allow liquid to be poured from the pitcher. The lid sealing assembly is removably connected to the container body. The lid sealing assembly has an actuation assembly having a push-button actuated actuator that operates a seal member. The actuator is moveable between a normal position and a use position. The seal member is positioned outside the cavity and adjacent the pour aperture. The seal member seals the pour aperture when the actuator is in the normal position and the seal member is moved from the pour aperture to open the pour aperture when the actuator is in the use position. When the seal member is moved from the pour aperture liquid can be poured from the pitcher.

  • Publication number: 20180064273
    Abstract: A lid assembly for a beverage container having a lid housing, a seal assembly and a trigger member. The seal assembly has a drink seal to close the drink aperture. The seal assembly is rotatedly connected to the lid housing and movable between a use position and a cleaning position to allow the drink aperture to be open for cleaning. The trigger member is connected to the lid housing and is capable of engaging the seal assembly in the use position, but it cannot engage the seal assembly in the cleaning position. Additionally, a trigger lock is connected to the lid housing to prevent engagement of the seal assembly by the trigger member when the trigger lock is locked. The trigger lock may also contain a visual indicator to indicate that the lock is in the locked position.

  • Patent number: 9830937
    Abstract: A laser is configured to emit light along a substrate-parallel plane along a first surface of the laser. An etched facet is on an emitting end of a lasing cavity and an etched mirror is on another end of the lasing cavity. An etched shaping mirror redirects light received from the etched facet in a direction normal to the substrate-parallel plane. A slider comprises an optical input coupler configured to couple the light from the laser into a waveguide of the slider. At least one protrusion is disposed on the laser and at least one recession is disposed on the slider, the at least one protrusion and the at least one recession configured to align the laser with the slider to allow the light to be coupled into the optical input coupler.
