Abstract: An image processing method comprising: receiving MRI data representing a scan of an organ of a patient, the MRI data including multiecho data for a plurality of pixels; for each of a plurality of pixels of the MRI data: fitting the multiecho data to a simulated decay curve; calculating a tissue index based on at least one parameter of the simulated decay curve; and comparing the tissue index to a threshold to determine a tissue type; wherein each pixel of the multiecho data consists of 16 or fewer echoes.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for generating secondary notifications, the method including receiving a message; generating a primary notification of the message; updating a priority associated with the message; determining that the updated priority exceeds a threshold; and responsive to determining that the updated priority exceeds a threshold, generating a secondary notification, the secondary notification being distinct from the primary notification.

Abstract: A turbocharger compressor housing is configured to allow a releasable fixed adjustment of a geometry of a compressor housing to increase at least one of responsiveness, efficiency or the ultimate power obtainable by a turbocharged system. Adjustability can be provided by an air intake pipe that is threadably connected with a central portion of the compressor housing to allow an air gap between the housing and the intake pipe to be adjusted to create an effect similar to adjusting the inducer area of a compressor wheel disposed in the housing, whereby power can be exchanged for efficiency and responsiveness. Set screws may be used to releasably fix the position of the intake pipe relative to the compressor housing.

Abstract: Compounds and methods for inhibiting growth of a protozoan parasite. Methods of treating a protozoan parasite infection in a subject by administering a therapeutically effective amount of a compound as disclosed herein. The compounds and methods can be used to inhibit growth of protozoan parasites such as Trypanosoma brucei, Trypanosoma cruzi, Leishmania spp., and Plasmodium spp.

Abstract: An audio/video signal distribution system includes a wall plate transmitter and wall plate receiver, which communication via twisted pair cabling. In a further aspect, a method of distributing an audio/video signal is provided.

Abstract: A method is provided in which for fabricating a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) circuit on a semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) substrate. A plurality of field effect transistors (FETs) are formed, each having a channel region disposed in a common device layer within a single-crystal semiconductor layer of an SOI substrate. A gate of the first FET overlies an upper surface of the common device layer, and a gate of the second FET underlies a lower surface of the common device layer remote from the upper surface. The first and second FETs share a common diffusion region disposed in the common device layer and are conductively interconnected by the common diffusion region. The common diffusion region is operable as at least one of a source region or a drain region of the first FET and is simultaneously operable as at least one of a source region or a drain region of the second FET.
