Publication number: 20230329674Abstract: An ultrasound system includes a processor and an ultrasound transducer array. The processor receives a first ultrasound image and a second ultrasound (1320) image from the transducer array. The first and second ultrasound images may be perpendicular to one another. The processor generates a score associated with the first ultrasound image and compares the score to a threshold score. Based on the score not satisfying the threshold score, the processor then determines a new imaging plane and directs the transducer array to obtain a third ultrasound image (1410) according to the new imaging plane. The third ultrasound image may also be perpendicular to the second ultrasound image. The processor circuit then displays the third ultrasound image and the second ultrasound image. The processor circuit also identifies an angle corresponding to the new imaging plane and displays an indicator (1342) overlaid over the second ultrasound image identifying the new imaging plane of the third ultrasound image.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 6, 2023Publication date: October 19, 2023Inventors: Muhammad Usman Ghani, Hyeonwoo Lee, Jonathan Fincke, Balasundar Iyyavu Raju

Patent number: 9298790Abstract: The replication of an asset from a source cluster in a source data center to multiple target clusters in multiple destination data centers. The replication occurs by first estimating or determining a cost parameter associated with copying of the asset from the source cluster to each of at least some of the target clusters. As an example, the cost parameter might be a geographical parameter, but might also be any cost parameter such as a channel bandwidth, channel cost, utilization ratio or the like. Based on the cost parameters, an order of replication priority is determined. Then, the replication is initiated in accordance with the prioritization. The replication may occur in multiple phases, and replication prioritization may occur on a per phase basis.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2013Date of Patent: March 29, 2016Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Ferry Susanto, Usman Ghani, Koushik Rajaram, Pavel Dournov, Eron D.
