  • Patent number: 12211204
    Abstract: Systems and methods for performing an assessment of a lesion are provided. A plurality of input medical images of a lesion is received. The plurality of input medical images comprises an initial input medical image and one or more additional input medical images. The initial input medical image comprises a region of interest around the lesion. A mask of the lesion is curated for the initial input medical image based on the region of interest and a set of candidate masks. The region of interest in the initial input medical image is propagated to the one or more additional input medical images based on prior registration transformations. A mask of the lesion is curated for each of the one or more additional input medical images based on the propagated regions of interest and the set of candidate masks. One or more assessments of the lesion are performed based on the mask for the initial input medical image, the masks for the one or more additional input medical images, and prior assessments of lesions.

  • Patent number: 12209650
    Abstract: The present invention pertains to a drive connection for coupling an engine to a gearbox of a machine and which provides a fluid-tight sealing. Accordingly, a drive connection for coupling an engine to a gearbox of a machine is suggested, which comprises a housing having an inner cavity that extends from a first open end of the housing to a second open end of the housing and which is configured for accommodating and enclosing a clutch. The housing defines a first coupling interface at the first open end for coupling the drive connection to an engine and a second coupling interface at the second open end for coupling the drive connection to a gearbox, Furthermore, each coupling interface comprises a sealing member, wherein the housing and sealing members are configured to fluidically seal the inner cavity, when the drive connection is in a coupled state.

  • Patent number: 11782856
    Abstract: A data processing system comprises memory, compile time logic, runtime logic, and instrumentation profiling logic. The memory stores a dataflow graph for an application. The dataflow graph has a plurality of compute nodes that are configured to be producers to produce data for execution of the application, and to be consumers to consume the data for execution of the application. The compile time logic partitions execution of the dataflow graph into stages. Each of the stages has one or more compute nodes, one or more producers, and one or more consumers. The runtime logic determines a processing latency for each of the stages by calculating time elapsed between producers of a particular stage receiving input data and consumers of the particular stage receiving output data. The instrumentation profiling logic generates performance statistics for the dataflow graph based on the processing latency determined for each of the stages.
