Publication number: 20220375574Abstract: Described are techniques for determining an accurate ground-truth Bayesian Inter-Reviewer Agreement Rate (BIRAR) from unreliable sources. For instance, a process can include obtaining an initial set of diagnostic imaging exams, wherein each diagnostic imaging exam includes a severity grade associated with an initial radiologist. For each diagnostic imaging exam, two or more secondary quality assurance (QA) reviews can be obtained for each diagnostic imaging exam, wherein the secondary QA reviews are associated with QA'ing radiologists different than the initial radiologist. One or more inter-reviewer agreement rates can be determined for the QA'ing radiologists, based on the secondary QA reviews associated with the QA'ing radiologists.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 4, 2022Publication date: November 24, 2022Inventors: Tarmo Aijo, Daniel Elgort, Xiaojin Dong, Denis Whelan, Richard Herzog, Murray Becker, Robert Epstein, Irwin Keller, Ron Vianu

Publication number: 20220270248Abstract: Described are techniques for uncertainty-aware anatomical landmark detection, using, for example, a deep reinforcement learning (DRL) anatomical landmark detection agent. For instance, a process can include generating one or more image features for an input medical image using a first sub-network of the anatomical landmark detection agent. A softmax layer of a second sub-network of the anatomical landmark detection agent can generate a plurality of discrete Q-value distributions for a set of allowable actions associated with movement of the agent within the medical image. An anatomical landmark location within the medical image can be predicted using the discrete Q-value distributions.

Patent number: 7005983Abstract: A detection apparatus for detecting refrigerator door openings is coupled to at least one switch configured to be activated by a door opening. When the door is opened, the switch is activated and inputs a signal to the detection apparatus. The detection apparatus rectifies the signal; and phase-shifts the rectified signal so that it leads or lags the line voltage. The shifted output signal is fed to a processor that detects the opening of the door based upon the shifted signal. Signals output by a plurality of switches that generate a signal when activated mixed using an opto-coupler. Relative impedance of the lead and lag circuits may be adjusted to differentiate a phase shift of one shifted signal relative to another signal. The processor converts a value in degrees of phase shifting of the mixed signal to a time value, and based upon the time value, the processor determines which of the doors is open.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 2001Date of Patent: February 28, 2006Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: John Steven Holmes, Jerry J.

Patent number: 6772597Abstract: An adaptive defrost control includes a microcomputer for controlling the initiation and termination of a defrost operation based, at least in part, on opening of the fresh food door and the freezer door. The control monitors the compressor run time and the fresh food and freezer door open times and adjusts the time until defrost accordingly. A pre-chill operation cools the freezer prior to defrosting the evaporator coils so that the defrost heat will have less of an affect on the maximum temperature after defrost, and enables the freezer compartment to be maintained at a temperature a few degrees higher than with known refrigerators, providing energy savings.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 1999Date of Patent: August 10, 2004Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Martin Mtichell Zentner, Rollie Richard Herzog, Peter Brand, Gary Lester Chastine, Matthew Graham Taylor, Tam Nolan

Patent number: 6574974Abstract: An electronic controller for an automatic icemaker includes a thermistor coupled to an icemaker mold, a first transducer coupled to a rake, a second transducer coupled to a feeler arm, and a processor. Time and temperature dependent calculations are summed at successive time intervals and compared to a predetermined value to determine when ice is frozen and ready for harvesting. Harvesting is delayed a pre-selected time based upon the position of the feeler arm to avoid premature harvesting. A harvest fix algorithm is executed when ice is not harvested within a predetermined time period by operating a heater at an elevated temperature and by de-energizing a motor. A water fill algorithm determines whether the mold is full of water based upon a change in the thermistor reading.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2000Date of Patent: June 10, 2003Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Rollie Richard Herzog, Michael Edward Johnson, Craig Iung-Pei Tsai, Qiao Lu, Lisa Gay Smith

Patent number: 5816060Abstract: An air flow control arrangement for a side-by-side refrigerator which results in temperature variations, both spatial and temporal, of approximately about .+-.1.degree. F. in the fresh food compartment, is described. Such air flow control also is believed to even further reduce the internal "sweat" in the fresh food compartment. In one embodiment, and with respect to a side-by-side refrigerator, the middle duct in the center mullion wall is closed off, and a duct is added in the center mullion wall, or could be installed as a separate duct outside the mullion, connecting a supply port in the top, back, left hand corner in fresh food compartment to a position in the evaporator chamber. The added duct also seals off direct airflow between the evaporator chamber and the fresh food compartment.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 1996Date of Patent: October 6, 1998Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Thomas Arthur Brownell, Robert Leonard Fulks, Joanna Marie Diederich, Rollie Richard Herzog, John August Sedovic
