Abstract: For reconstruction in medical imaging, such as reconstruction in MR imaging, an iterative, hierarchal network for regularization may decrease computational complexity. To further maintain computational complexity while improving robustness, auxiliary information is used in the regularization and corresponding reconstruction. The auxiliary information is in put to the machine-learned network.

Abstract: A form- and/or force-fit connection between the motor and the gearbox is established by screwing together a motor- or gearbox-side first component and the respective motor- or gearbox-side second component. Alternately, an interference fit can be established between these two components by way of an axial lock that includes a lug, which formed on the first component, that is deformed by a caulking tool into a recess formed on the second component.

Abstract: A digital microphone includes a log amplifier having an input for receiving an analog signal; an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) coupled to the log amplifier; a digital low-pass filter coupled to the ADC; a digital decompression component coupled to the digital low-pass filter; and a predictor filter coupled to the digital decompression component, the predictor filter having an output for generating a digital signal. The digital low-pass filter is a positive group delay filter and the predictor filter is a negative group delay filter. The digital microphone has an improved Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) due to filtering, but without increasing overall group delay.

Abstract: An advanced cardiovascular health monitoring system utilizes an optical pulse wave velocity detection device in combination with a system for analyzing data waveforms structures in combination with personalized patient data integration to determine specific physiological parameters for monitoring and assessing specific health conditions. Using acceleration pulse waves, vascular health is calculated by the ratio of peak to the second derivative of blood volume pulse wave, which can detect various health indices such as vascular age, vascular health index, and arteriosclerosis. The device collects separate pulse points within a time interval. It connects them into a line to form the PPG Image, which is then analyzed through data filtering and fitting methods. The periodic cycle acquisition method excludes abnormal cycle data and ensures correct data acquisition.

Abstract: A biasing member for use in reciprocating dispenser pumps is contemplated. The member is made completely of polymeric materials and is suitable as a direct replacement for metallic coil springs. The biasing member includes spiral shape defined by inner and outer helix traces, with a series of perforations provided along one or both of those traces. These perforations, in conjunction with thinned channels, the size and shape of holes, and the size and shape of apertures, all cooperate to allow for a spring with sufficient resilience and greater spring force in comparison conventional, all-polymer biasing members.

Abstract: A control system for an industrial vehicle includes a badge communicator and an information linking device. The badge communicator has a transceiver for short range communication with electronic badges that are within a fixed short range of the badge communicator, defining a first zone. The information linking device is programmed to execute program code. The program code extracts a current state of an operating parameter read from an industrial vehicle network bus, generates a second zone within the first zone that is defined based upon the extracted industrial vehicle operating parameter, detects a presence of an electronic badge within the first zone, determines whether the electronic badge is within the second zone, performs a first action if the detected electronic badge is not within the second zone, and performs a second action if the electronic badge is within the second zone.
