  • Patent number: 10331620
    Abstract: In an approach for generating a file, a computer opens a first file within application software that includes content. The computer receives an indication to generate a second file based on the opened first file and an indication of a file format for the second file. The computer provides a selection window associated with the second file, wherein the selection window is at least partially transparent and at least partially overlays the opened first file. The computer identifies content within the first file that is overlaid by the provided selection window associated with the second file. The computer transfers a copy of the identified content within the first file that is overlaid by the provided selection window associated with the second file.

  • Patent number: 10243835
    Abstract: In one or more embodiments, one or more systems, methods, and/or processes may receive a service function chain description that includes service functions associated with multiple domains, and rather than any of the domains ignoring or rejecting outside nodes, nodes may be configured to communicate with the outside nodes in implementing a service function chain associated with the service function chain description. For example, an arbiter (e.g., a central arbiter) may provide control information and/or configuration information, based on the service function chain description, to one or more systems of each domain. In one instance, the arbiter may provide the control information and/or the configuration information to a border node of each domain. In another instance, the arbiter may provide the control information and/or the configuration information to a domain controller of each domain.

  • Patent number: 10230661
    Abstract: Systems and methods for performing distributed virtual network embedding are disclosed. A resource orchestrator may receive a virtual network request specifying a set of virtual nodes, a set of virtual links, each connecting two virtual nodes in a mesh topology, and resource requirements for some virtual nodes. The orchestrator may partition the virtual network request into multiple sub-requests, each specifying a linear topology for a subset of the virtual nodes and links within the mesh topology. The sub-requests may collectively include all virtual links within the mesh topology with no overlapping links. Resource orchestrators may collaborate to compute, independently for each sub-request, a respective chaining solution in which each virtual node is mapped to a physical node having resources sufficient to implementing the virtual node. A resource orchestrator may combine the respective chaining solutions for each of the sub-requests to generate a mapping solution for the virtual network request.

  • Publication number: 20190051159
    Abstract: Systems and methods for traffic congestion avoidance may use cooperative autonomous driving based on vehicle-to-vehicle communication to resolve deadlock conditions. The method may include automatically detecting, by a given autonomous vehicle, that the given vehicle is deadlocked, initiating, by the given vehicle, formation of a coordination group including the given vehicle, a front vehicle traveling in the same driving lane as the given vehicle, and an assistant autonomous vehicle traveling in a lane adjacent to the lane in which the given vehicle and the front vehicle are traveling, and sending, by the given vehicle using vehicle-to-vehicle communication, a cooperative driving task request to initiate actions by the autonomous vehicles in the coordination group to resolve the deadlock condition. The actions may include modifying a driving plan of an autonomous vehicle in the coordination group and initiating a speed negotiation with an autonomous vehicle in the coordination group.

  • Patent number: 10175327
    Abstract: In an image reconstruction method and device for a magnetic resonance imaging system, a magnetic resonance scan is performed at least one scan position according to at least one scan protocol, to acquire at least a set of one scan protocol simultaneously acquired data. At least one magnetic resonance image is reconstructed based on the set of scan protocol simultaneously acquired data and a shared receiving coil calibration matrix. By sharing the receiving coil calibration matrix in different parallel scan processing operations, the amount of work is significantly reduced while improving working efficiency, and imaging quality can also be significantly improved in the case of scan sequences with echo chain acquisition.

  • Patent number: 10120053
    Abstract: In a magnetic resonance imaging method and apparatus, the scanner is operated with a multi-echo sequence in order to acquire k-space data of a multi-echo magnetic resonance signal, and the k-space data are used to reconstruct a magnetic resonance image. The multi-echo magnetic resonance signal is an asymmetric multi-echo magnetic resonance signal, and the asymmetric multi-echo magnetic resonance signal includes N asymmetric echo magnetic resonance signals, wherein N is greater than or equal to 2. Asymmetric echo magnetic resonance signals can be acquired in a dual-echo steady-state sequence, so that scanning time is reduced and the degree of comfort of a subject is improved because the magnetization process reaches a steady state quickly so the magnetic resonance signal is less affected by inhomogeneities that may exist in the basic magnetic field or a gradient magnetic field, and the intensity of the magnetic resonance signal is increased.

  • Patent number: 10101427
    Abstract: An MRI method and apparatus perform a 3D dual echo magnetic resonance scan to acquire two sets of k-space data corresponding to the two echoes, respectively. A 2D CAIPIRINHA undersampling method as applied to the two sets of k-space data to extract two sets of sampling data, which are used to reconstruct two initial magnetic resonance images from which a final magnetic resonance image is synthesized. Because staggering is carried out in the PE or SL direction when the 2D CAIPIRINHA undersampling method is applied to the 3D scan sequence, aliasing in parallel imaging is controlled, so a greater area in the center of the field of view is undisturbed by aliasing. Coil sensitivity also is increased, enabling further acceleration. 2D CAIPIRINHA undersampling method generally uses a small acceleration factor, thereby ensuring a high signal to noise ratio.
