Abstract: A system for predicting types of pathogens in patients with septicemia is provided. The system includes at least one sensor and a processor. The sensor is used to sense current physiological data including at least one of body temperature, blood pressure, and pulse. The processor is configured to calculate at least one feature value according to the current physiological data, and input the feature value into a machine learning model to determine one of categories including at least two of uninfected, fungal infected, contaminated bacteria infected, Gram-negative infected, and Gram-positive infected.

Abstract: A non-invasive liver fibrosis evaluation device and a method thereof are related. The device comprises an ultrasound unit, a Nakagami parameter generation unit, a hardness value generation unit, a data base, and a determination unit. The method comprises steps of: scanning the external body part corresponding to the liver by a transducer of the ultrasound unit to produce plural ultrasound image data sets; analyzing one ultrasound image data set with the Nakagami distribution to produce a Nakagami parameter by using the. Nakagami parameter generation unit; analyzing plural ultrasound image data sets to produce a hardness value by using the hardness value generation unit; and evaluating the liver fibrosis by comparing the Nakagami parameter and the hardness value with plural reference parameter sets stored in the data base by using the determination unit.

Abstract: The present application relates to an ultrasound temperature mapping system and method. The ultrasound temperature mapping system for measuring a temperature of an object comprises an ultrasound transducer and a processing module. The ultrasound transducer is configured to acquire a first image and a second image with respect to the object. The processing module implements a zero-crossing algorithm to process the first image to yield a plurality of first zero-crossing points and implements a cross-correlation algorithm to process the first image and the second images based on the plurality of first zero-crossing points so as to obtain a plurality of displacements. The processing module further calculates the temperature based on the plurality of displacements.

Abstract: In some aspects, message data is generated from a first representation of a message and a reference image. The message data is generated to hide the message such that generating a second representation of the message from the message data requires processing of a second image that is perceptually similar to the first image. In some examples, a degree to which the second representation of the message is perceptually similar to the first representation of the message is related to a degree to which the second image is perceptually similar to the first image.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for display the stage of a measured blood pressure of a patient. The blood pressure can be distributed in one of a normal stage, a potential hypertension stage, a first hypertension stage, and a second hypertension stage. When the blood pressure is measured, it is compared to the reference pressure values of various stages by a determination device, so as to determine the specific stage the measured blood pressure belong to. The stage of the blood pressure is then represented by a predetermined number of flashing blocks and/or a predetermined stage symbol.
