Patent number: 12211147Abstract: The invention relates to a system and computer-implemented method for enabling correction of a segmentation of an anatomical structure in 3D image data. The segmentation may be provided by a mesh which is applied to the 3D image data to segment the anatomical structure. The correction may for example involve a user directly or indirectly selecting a mesh part, such as a mesh point, that needs to be corrected. The behaviour of the correction, e.g., in terms of direction, radius/neighbourhood or strength, may then be dependent on the mesh normal direction, and in some embodiments, on a difference between the mesh normal direction and the orientation of the viewing plane.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2020Date of Patent: January 28, 2025Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Alexandra Groth, Frank Michael Weber, Jochen Peters, Rolf Jürgen Weese

Patent number: 11342146Abstract: A system and method for monitoring energy use in an electronic device. In one embodiment, an energy monitoring system includes a processor and an energy monitor module. The energy monitor module includes instructions that when executed cause the processor to receive values of measured parameters of a pulse signal that controls the switching of energy to an energy storage device in a switch mode power supply that provides power to an electronic device. The instructions also cause the processor to determine, based on the values of measured parameters, attributes of operation of the electronic device powered by the energy source during an interval corresponding to the measured parameters. The instructions further cause the processor to generate, based on the attributes of operation, a control signal that causes the electronic device to change the loading of the power supply by the electronic device.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2020Date of Patent: May 24, 2022Assignee: TEXAS INSTRUMENTS INCORPORATEDInventors: Horst Diewald, Johan Zipperer, Peter Weber, Anton Brauchle

Patent number: 11061160Abstract: It may be difficult to determine the location of objects underwater, especially when they are buried below a seabed. A system for detecting conductive objects underwater may include a long conductive cable in electric communication with a signal generator. When the cable is positioned proximate to the conductive object, its signal may induce a current and a detectible secondary magnetic field in the conductive object. A sensor, preferably positioned distally from any portion of the conductive cable, may detect the secondary magnetic field and thereby determine the location of the conductive object. A method of detecting and mapping the location of a buried underwater pipeline comprising a conductive material may include: sending a predetermined current through a conductive cable attached to a first water vehicle; inducing an induced current in the pipeline; and detecting the location of at least a portion of the pipeline by a sensor attached to a second water vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2019Date of Patent: July 13, 2021Assignee: Doc Mapping, L.L.C.Inventor: Peter Weber
