Patent number: 11922634Abstract: A system for establishing a contour of a structure is disclosed. An initialization subsystem (1) is used for initializing an adaptive mesh representing an approximate contour of the structure, the structure being represented at least partly by a first image, and the structure being represented at least partly by a second image. A deforming subsystem (2) is used for deforming the adaptive mesh, based on feature information of the first image and feature information of the second image. The deforming subsystem comprises a force-establishing subsystem (3) for establishing a force acting on at least part of the adaptive mesh, in dependence on the feature information of the first image and the feature information of the second image. A transform-establishing subsystem (4) is used for establishing a coordinate transform reflecting a registration mismatch between the first image, the second image, and the adaptive mesh.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2017Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Jochen Peters, Olivier Ecabert, Carsten Meyer, Reinhard Kneser, Juergen Weese

Patent number: 8804935Abstract: An apparatus and methods are disclosed that enable a caller to specify a condition of availability for a return call when the caller is unable to reach the called user. A condition might indicate a time interval in which the caller is willing to accept a return call, a location, or some other constraints. In the illustrative embodiments, when a caller places a call and is unable to reach the called user, the caller is prompted via an interactive voice response (IVR) system for one or more conditions of availability for a return call. As soon as the called user's terminal becomes available, a software application checks whether the condition of availability is satisfied, and if so, establishes a call between the caller's terminal and the called user's terminal.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 2005Date of Patent: August 12, 2014Assignee: Avaya Inc.Inventors: Doree Duncan Seligmann, Xueshan Shan, Reinhard Peter Klemm, Ajita John
