Abstract: A computer-implemented method of enhancing images includes receiving one or more observed images, identifying wavelet bases, and determining a downsampling operator. A noise variance value is estimated and used to select a tuning parameter. A blurring kernel is estimated based on one or more system calibration parameter and used to determine a low-pass blurring filter operator. A cost function is created which generates one or more denoised super-resolution images based on the observed images and the plurality of wavelet bases. The cost function may include, for example, a sparsity inducing norm applied to the plurality of wavelet bases (with the tuning parameter applied to the sparsity inducing norm) and a constraint requiring the one or more denoised super-resolution images to be equal to a result of applying the low-pass blurring filter operator and the downsampling operator to the one or more denoised super-resolution images.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of detecting a foreground data in an image sequence using a dual sparse model framework includes creating an image matrix based on a continuous image sequence and initializing three matrices: a background matrix, a foreground matrix, and a coefficient matrix. Next, a subspace recovery process is performed over multiple iterations. This process includes updating the background matrix based on the image matrix and the foreground matrix; minimizing an L?1 norm of the coefficient matrix using a first linearized soft-thresholding process; and minimizing an L?1 norm of the foreground matrix using a second linearized soft-thresholding process. Then, background images and foreground images are generated based on the background and foreground matrices, respectively.

Abstract: Magnetic resonance imaging uses regularized SENSE reconstruction for a reduced field of view, but minimizes folding artifacts. A reference scan is oversampled relative to the reduced field of view. The oversampling provides coil sensitivity information for a region greater than the reduced field of view. The reconstruction of the object for the reduced field of view using the coil sensitivities for the larger region may have fewer folding artifacts.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a touch panel technology, and especially to an edge grip detection method of a touch panel and a device using the same. The edge grip detection method comprises: determining whether an edge area state has changed; eliminating a first edge signal when the edge area state does not change; and updating the first edge signal as next standard signal when the edge area state changes. The edge grip detection method and an edge grip detecting device of the touch panel opportunely detect and dynamically update state and data of the edge area, thereby eliminating edge grip signals from touch signals of the touch panel to obtain normal touch signals. Thus, impact on the normal operation of the touch panel by edge grips is reduced.

A touch tracking method for a touch track on a touch screen comprises the steps of: defining a touch track function by information of detected touch points; calculating a predicted touch point by said touch track function; determining if a next detected touch point is located in a preset scope of said predicted touch point; and if the next detected touch point is located in the preset scope of the predicted touch point, outputting the predicted touch point as an output touch point. A touch tracking device for a touch track on a touch screen is also provided. The touch tracking device for the touch screen can, not only determine relationship between detected touch points at different detected times to draw the touch tracks, but can also make the touch track smooth and help eliminate noise point effectively.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for reconstruction of a magnetic resonance image includes acquiring a first incomplete k-space data set comprising a plurality of first k-space lines spaced according to an acceleration factor and one or more calibration lines. A parallel imaging reconstruction technique is applied to the first incomplete k-space data to determine a plurality of second k-space lines not included in the first incomplete k-space data set, thereby yielding a second incomplete k-space data set. Then, the parallel imaging reconstruction technique is applied to the second incomplete k-space data to determine a plurality of third k-space lines not included in the second incomplete k-space data, thereby yielding a complete k-space data set.

Abstract: A method of image reconstruction for a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system includes obtaining k-space scan data captured by the MRI system, the k-space scan data being representative of an undersampled region over time, iteratively reconstructing preliminary dynamic images for the undersampled region from the k-space scan data via optimization of a first instance of a minimization problem, the minimization problem including a regularization term weighted by a weighting parameter array, generating a motion determination indicative of an extent to which each location of the undersampled region exhibits motion over time based on the preliminary dynamic images, and iteratively reconstructing motion-compensated dynamic images for the region from the k-space scan data via optimization of a second instance of the minimization problem, the second instance having the weighting parameter array altered as a function of the motion determination.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for learning a tight frame includes acquiring undersampled k-space data over a time period using an interleaved process. An average of the undersampled k-space data is determined and a reference image is generated based on the average of the undersampled k-space data. Next, a tight frame operator is determined based on the reference image. Then, a reconstructed image data is generated from the undersampled k-space data via a sparse reconstruction which utilizes the tight frame operator.

Abstract: The tetracycline class of antibiotics has played a major role in the treatment of infectious diseases for the past 50 years. However, the increased use of the tetracyclines in human and veterinary medicine has led to resistance among many organisms previously susceptible to tetracycline antibiotics. The modular synthesis of tetracyclines and tetracycline analogs described provides an efficient and enantioselective route to a variety of tetracycline analogs and polycyclines previously inaccessible via earlier tetra-cycline syntheses and semi-synthetic methods. These analogs may be used as anti-microbial agents or anti-pro liferative agents in the treatment of diseases of humans or other animals.
