  • Publication number: 20240160824
    Abstract: A method of designing inputs of a circuit includes identifying, by a circuit input solver, input ports of the circuit, classifying, by the circuit input solver, each one of the input ports as a DC line port of a plurality of DC line ports or a switching control line port of a plurality of switching control line ports, identifying, by the circuit input solver, one of the DC line ports as a data line port, determining, by the circuit input solver, for an emission phase of the circuit, a plurality of first parameters corresponding to signals of the plurality of DC line ports, and determining, by the circuit input solver, for an initialization phase of the circuit, a plurality of second parameters corresponding to signals of the plurality of switching control line ports based on the plurality of first parameters.

  • Patent number: 11982726
    Abstract: Tracer kinetic models are utilized as temporal constraints for highly under-sampled reconstruction of DCE-MRI data. In one embodiment, a method for improving dynamic contrast enhanced imaging. The method includes steps of administering a magnetic resonance contrast agent to a subject and then collecting magnetic resonance contrast agent from the subject. A tracer kinetic model (i.e. eTofts or Patlak) is selected to be applied to the magnetic resonance imaging data. The tracer kinetic model is applied to the magnetic resonance imaging data. Tracer kinetic maps and dynamic images are simultaneously reconstructed and a consistency constraint is applied. The proposed method allows for easy use of different tracer kinetic models in the formulation and estimation of patient-specific arterial input functions jointly with tracer kinetic maps.

  • Publication number: 20240048724
    Abstract: According to some embodiments, a system includes: a memory, an encoder; a decoder, wherein the system is operable to: receive, at the encoder, an input video; divide, by the encoder, the input video into a plurality of video patches; select, by the encoder, codes corresponding to the plurality of video patches of the input video, from a codebook comprising the codes; determine, by the encoder, an assigned code matrix comprising the codes corresponding to the plurality of video patches of the input video; receive, by the decoder, the assigned code matrix from the encoder; and generate, by the decoder, a reconstructed video based on the assigned code matrix.
