Abstract: Disclosed in an integrated diagnostic imaging system (IDIS) designed to optimize the process of medical imaging and disease diagnosis. The IDIS can incorporate an intuitive disease selection interface that allows clinicians to select potential diseases of interest to screen for. Subsequently, a dynamic protocol selection algorithm can utilize a comprehensive imaging protocol database to determine the optimal imaging protocol corresponding to the selected diseases. The chosen protocols can be then executed by an imaging system, which can include different imaging modalities. Following the image acquisition, image analysis processes specific to the targeted diseases can process the images and identify pertinent features. The diagnostic results can be displayed in an intuitive and interactive results display, enhancing clinician interpretation and decision-making.

Abstract: Differential driving and/or sensing can reduce noise in a touch screen. In some examples, the touch electrodes and/or routing traces can be implemented using metal mesh in first and second metal layers. To mitigate electrical interference at the touch screen from a display, a display-noise shield or sensor can be provided between the display and the touch screen. In some examples, a shield can minimize a noise contribution from the display to signals generated at the touch screen. In other examples, a sensor can enable a differential read out of signals at the touch screen that subtracts a noise component measured by the sensor. Forming the shield or sensor, and the touch screen over the display using an on-cell process can improve touch screen performance and yield. The shield can be connected to a conductive ring and flex circuit via tapping points in a stackup separate from a display stackup.

Abstract: Skip program verify for dynamic start voltage (DSV) sampling reduces latency of a program operation on multi-level cell (MLC) memory having at least two pages and programmable with multiple threshold voltage levels, such as a Triple Level Cell (TLC) NAND device. The NAND device skips program verifies corresponding to higher levels of voltage thresholds during DSV sampling. As a result, the NAND device can reduce a total program time (tPROG) to program the MLC memory, and determine the dynamic start program voltage more quickly. The NAND device can improve an effective TLC NAND tPROG by as much as 2% without impacting the placement of the first sub-block being programmed. The skipped program verifies corresponding to the higher levels of voltage thresholds are resumed as soon as DSV sampling is complete.

One of these techniques may include the implementation of eigen beamforming, which provides artificially generated power at locations within the AS that are identified with estimated eigenvector beam locations. As a result of the artificially-generated power, the resulting vector decomposition used to provide the beamforming weights results in widened eigenvector beams.
