Publication number: 20240081642Abstract: A retinal vessel shadow view optical coherence tomography (RVSV-OCT) image can be created by receiving, at an enhanced OCT processing system, volumetric OCT scan of a patient. The system can segment the volumetric OCT scan to determine layer boundaries and delineate a boundary of interest based on the determined layer boundaries of the segmented volumetric OCT scan. En face vascular information can be extracted to create an RVSV-OCT image by determining a first offset from the boundary of interest and a second offset from the boundary of interest; extracting volumetric data from an area between the first offset and the second offset to create a three-dimensional volume; and identifying a two-dimensional surface from the three-dimensional volume, the two-dimensional surface being the RVSV-OCT image. The RVSV-OCT image can be provided for analysis, for example, to evaluate retinal vascular disease in preterm infants at risk for retinopathy of prematurity.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 9, 2020Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Cynthia TOTH, Kai SEELY, Vincent TAI, Stephanie CHIU, Katrina WINTER, Ryan IMPERIO

Publication number: 20080112692Abstract: Digital image conversion for storage on an optical disc and corresponding playback on an optical disc player is disclosed. Digital image conversion may convert images from external devices in an environment where the internal memory is insufficient to support retention of an entire optical disc image to be written onto the optical disc. The conversion entails iteratively accessing digital image files to be converted, encoding and storing them on the optical disc in the appropriate format, and building a navigational structure that is used to accommodate playback of the images from the optical disc. In one example, the digital image format of the source image files is JPEG, and the optical disc and playback format is a DVD format, with the encoded image file forming a packetized elementary stream, and the video file format being a DVD compliant program stream.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 13, 2007Publication date: May 15, 2008Applicants: Sony Corporation, Sony Electronics, Inc.Inventors: Vincent Chiu, Joseph Maciel

Patent number: 7120571Abstract: A resource board for a circuit emulator holds programmable logic devices (PLDs) and other emulation resources such as random access memories (RAMs) and employs both hard-wired and network-based virtual signal paths to flexibly route signals between the emulation resources on the resource board and resources mounted on other resource boards, workstations and other external equipment. The resource board also provides the logic and balanced signal paths needed to deliver clock signals to the PLDs and reduces the number of signals needed to communicate with external test equipment by implementing much of the pattern generation and data acquisition functionality needed to test an emulated circuit.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2003Date of Patent: October 10, 2006Assignee: Fortelink, Inc.Inventors: Sweyyan Shei, Ming Yang Wang, Vincent Chiu, Neu Choo Ngui

Patent number: 7117143Abstract: Before using a netlist description of an integrated circuit as a basis for programming a circuit emulator, a clock analysis tool analyzes the netlist to identify synchronizing circuits including clocked devices (“clock sinks”) such a flip-flops, registers and latches for synchronizing communication between blocks of logic within the IC. The tool initially classifies the clock signal input to each clock sink according to its clock domain, sub-domain and phase. The tool then classifies each synchronizing circuit according to relationships between the classifications of the clock signals it employs to clock its input and output clock sinks. The tool then determines, based on the classification of each synchronizing circuit, whether the emulator can reliably emulate that synchronizing circuit, or whether the tool should automatically modify the netlist description of the synchronizing circuit so that the emulator can emulate it.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2003Date of Patent: October 3, 2006Assignee: Fortelink, Inc.Inventors: Ming Yang Wang, Sweyyan Shei, Vincent Chiu

Patent number: 7072825Abstract: An apparatus for emulating the behavior of an electronic device under test (DUT) includes a computer and one or more resource boards containing emulation resources suitable for emulating portions of the DUT. Each resource board includes transaction device for communicating with one another and with the computer network via data packets transmitted over a packet routing network. The packet routing network and the transaction device on each resource board provide “virtual signal paths” between input and output terminals of resources mounted on separate resource boards. To do so, a transaction device on one resource board sends packets containing data indicating output signal states of local emulation resources to a transaction device on another resource board when then drives signals supplied to input terminals of its local emulation resources to the states indicated by the data conveyed in the packet.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2003Date of Patent: July 4, 2006Assignee: Fortelink, Inc.Inventors: Ming Yang Wang, Sweyyan Shei, Vincent Chiu
