Publication number: 20240102258Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method of using a feedback loop from sensors to manipulate sea waves by applying concepts from optics interference and lensing. The method includes capturing, by one or more sensors, environmental data of an aquatic environment, wherein the environmental data relates to one or more of a wind speed, a wind direction, a wave pattern, a wave spectra, and a wave direction. The method includes analyzing, by one or more processors of a controller, the environmental data to identify a sensed environmental condition. Further, the method includes determining an optimal configuration of a wave interference device in the sensed environmental condition, wherein the controller is communicatively coupled to the wave interference device; and configuring the wave interference device to occupy the optimal configuration.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 20, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: Roy Beck-Barkai, Sofia Belikovetsky, Ori Marcel Cheshnovsky

Patent number: 11464489Abstract: An ultrasonic diagnostic imaging system produces an image of shear wave velocities by transmitting push pulses to generate shear waves. A plurality of tracking lines are transmitted and echoes received by a focusing beamformer adjacent to the location of the push pulses. The tracking lines are sampled in a time-interleaved manner. The echo data acquired along each tracking line is processed to determine the time of peak tissue displacement caused by the shear waves at points along the tracking line, and the times of peaks at adjacent tracking lines compared to compute a local shear wave velocity. The resultant map of shear wave velocity values is color-coded and displayed over an anatomical image of the region of interest.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2019Date of Patent: October 11, 2022Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Roy Beck Peterson, Yan Shi, Hua Xie, Jean-Luc Francois-Marie Robert, Vijay Thakur Shamdasani, Robert Randall Entrekin, Anna Teresa Fernandez

Patent number: 6923300Abstract: A driveline brake assembly for use on trucks as either a primary braking system or a secondary braking system. A camshaft connected to the driveline carries a number of cams thereon. Each cam has associated therewith a pair of pressure glides which ride on the cam from opposite sides. Each pressure glide may be forced against the cam forcibly due to an inflated air bladder pressing compression springs against the back of the pressure glide. This forcible pushing of the glides against the cams causes the camshaft to slow its rotational speed and accordingly slow the truck.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2003Date of Patent: August 2, 2005Inventor: Roy Beck

Patent number: 6036643Abstract: An ultrasonic diagnostic imaging system and method are described by which a fundamental frequency signal is transmitted into the body and harmonic (nonlinear) echo returns are received from the transmission. The harmonic echo signals are Doppler processed and displayed. The harmonic Doppler signals may be displayed alone, or in combination with a fundamental frequency or harmonic grayscale image. In a preferred embodiment harmonic signals returned from moving tissue are segmented on an intensity or frequency basis and displayed. The inventive apparatus and method provide highly resolved ultrasonic images of moving tissue which are substantially unobscured by image clutter from structures or tissue in the near field.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 1998Date of Patent: March 14, 2000Assignee: Advanced Technology Laboratories, Inc.Inventors: Aline Laure Criton, Marshall Taylor Robinson, Thanasis Loupas, Roy Beck Peterson, Patrick Rene' Pesque, Helen Frances Routh

Patent number: 5718229Abstract: An ultrasonic imaging system is provided which produces signals representative of tissue motion through amplitude detection of echo signals from which stationary clutter has been removed. Tissue motion may be distinguished from noise and flow signals on the basis of the dynamic range of the detected signals. The tissue motion signals may be displayed in combination with B mode signals to augment images of moving tissue, or in a two dimensional image in combination with B mode and Doppler image information. A sequence of gated tissue motion images of the heart may be displayed with each image of a different phase of the heart cycle displayed in a different color. The sequence may be played in a real time sequence, or the images accumulated in a common static image which overlay and hence mask one another, thereby revealing subtle differences in motion from one phase of the heart cycle to another.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 1996Date of Patent: February 17, 1998Assignee: Advanced Technology Laboratories, Inc.Inventors: Patrick Rene Pesque, Roy Beck Peterson, Jens Ulrich Quistgaard
