Patent number: 11501451Abstract: Presented are concepts for detecting subject motion in medical imaging of a subject. One such concept obtains a motion classification model representing relationships between motion of image features and subject motion values. For each of a plurality of medical slice images of an imaged volume of the subject, an image feature of the medical slice image is extracted. Based on the extracted image feature for each of the plurality of medical slice images, motion information for the image feature is determined. Based on the motion information for the image feature and the obtained motion classification model, a subject motion value is determined.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2019Date of Patent: November 15, 2022Assignee: Koninklijke Philips N.V.Inventors: Dinesh Mysore Siddu, Krishnamoorthy Palanisamy, Christopher Stephen Hall, Nagaraju Bussa

Publication number: 20220223330Abstract: Technologies for an inductor with a meandering conductor are disclosed. In the illustrative embodiment, an inductor has a conductor that follows a meandering U-shaped path. The two nearby conductive strips carrying current in opposite directions largely cancel their magnetic fields, leading to less field on nearby traces on a circuit board. As a result, high-speed traces on the circuit board can be routed near the inductor, resulting in a potentially smaller form factor for the circuit board or a circuit board with few layers.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 1, 2022Publication date: July 14, 2022Inventors: Long Wang, Ranjul Balakrishnan, Sagar Dubey, Stephen Hall, Srinivasan Rajagopalan
