  • Patent number: 9799479
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method, a system, and a light source for penetrating radiation imaging, and more particularly, to a method, a system, and a light source for X-ray imaging. The system for X-ray phase contrast and high resolution imaging of the present invention comprises an X-ray source comprising a plurality of X-ray micro-light sources, an X-ray sensor configured to receive X-rays penetrating an object, and a computer configured to receive and compute raw image data from the X-ray sensor so as to obtain a clear image of the object.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8520933
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for searching and constructing a 3D motif image database, wherein said 3D motif image database can be used to understand the connection relationship of a 3D network, e.g. a neural network comprising biological neural networks or artificial neural networks. The searching and constructing methods are applied on the 3D motif image database, a proper computer-aided graphic platform. The database not only facilitates the management of the huge amount of categorized data but also rationally excavates the hidden information cloaked within.

  • Patent number: 7742878
    Abstract: The bio-expression system comprising: a process system used to process data and a three-dimension image generating module embedded in the computing system, wherein while input of a set of two-dimensional individual model sections is fed into the process system, the three-dimension image generating module is responsive to the input of the two-dimension individual model sections and is capable of processing an individual model construction and model-averaging procedure, thereby generating an average model for each individual dataset. A database includes a bio-expression sub-database, cellular network sub-database and fine structure sub-database, wherein the database is coupled to the process system to store at least the average model. A stereoscopic projecting system is coupled to the process system to display stereoscopic images for active or passive virtual reality applications, thereby presenting the bio-expressions, cellular networks or bio-fine structures under the input instruction of the process system.
