Patent number: 9387344Abstract: The disclosure discusses methods for determining absorbed dose information. A tomography imaging device generates an anatomy image relating to anatomy of a particular patient. A tomography imaging device also generates multiple radioactivity images regarding radioactivity distribution of an internally administered pharmaceutical over time in the particular patient. The radioactivity images related to the radioactivity distribution over time are registered. Each radioactivity image is combined with each anatomy image to create activity images. A Monte Carlo simulation for each activity image is run to obtain absorbed dose-rate images of the pharmaceutical at multiple times. The absorbed dose-rate images are integrated over time to obtain a total absorbed dose image. The absorbed dose-rate images and the total absorbed dose image are used to obtain a biologically effective dose (BED) image. The BED image is used to obtain an equivalent uniform does (EUD) of BED values for a chosen anatomical region.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2007Date of Patent: July 12, 2016Assignee: THE JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITYInventors: George Sgouros, Hong Song, Andrew Prideaux, Robert Hobbs

Patent number: 7902886Abstract: A multi reference phase locked loop (MPLL) generates a high speed clock frequency and phase locks it to a lowest common reference frequency derived from a selected one of at least two reference clocks. One of the reference clocks is a system reference clock in a FBDIMM system, another may be a forwarded clock in an AMB2. A prescaler reduces the frequency of at least the forwarded clock to the lowest common reference frequency which is the frequency of the system reference clock. A PLL at the core of the MPLL may be locked to the forwarded clock or the system reference clock for generating a high speed clock. A feedback divider generates the feedback clock for the PLL as well as other clocks required in the system. Furthermore, the MPLL provides a number of clocking modes, including modes to facilitate testing and powering down of sections of the circuitry for conserving power.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2008Date of Patent: March 8, 2011Assignee: Diablo Technologies Inc.Inventors: Dirk Pfaff, Claus Reitlingshoefer, Stephen Robert Hobbs
