  • Patent number: 11536811
    Abstract: A distance measuring device includes a pulsed laser source, a light receiving unit and a computing module. The pulsed laser source emits a laser pulse to a target in accordance with a predetermined period. The light receiving unit has a photon receiving type of light receiving element that receives incident light and outputs a binary pulse, and the binary pulse is used to indicate whether a photon receiving event occurs. The computing module is configured to receive the binary pulse and determine whether an inter-period coincidence event occurs, and the inter-period coincidence event is defined by detecting a plurality of photon receiving events exceeding a predetermined count, on relative positions in a predetermined period number of the predetermined periods. If the calculation module determines that the inter-period coincidence event occurs, a distance of the target is calculated according to time information related to the inter-period coincidence event.

  • Publication number: 20220176685
    Abstract: The present document describes an apparatus for reducing fabric dimpling in electronic devices and associated methods. The apparatus is used during assembly to prevent fabric, which is stretched over a perforated part (e.g., speaker housing), from dimpling into the holes (e.g., perforations) of the perforated part. The apparatus includes protrusions (e.g., pins), which act as a negative of the holes in the perforated part, to support the fabric as it is stretched over the perforated part. In particular, the protrusions are inserted through the perforations via an interior surface of the perforated part such that the protrusions are “proud” (slightly projecting from a surface) with respect to an exterior surface of the perforated part. The proudness of the protrusions may vary based on a degree of curvature of the perforated part at a location corresponding to a respective protrusion.

  • Patent number: 11282197
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an operating method of a system for analyzing brain tissue based on computerized tomographic imaging, and the operation method includes steps as follows. A computed tomography image of a subject is aligned to a predetermined standard brain space image, to obtain a first normalized test computed tomography image. A voxel contrast of the first normalized test computed tomography image is enhanced to obtain an enhanced first normalized test computed tomography image. The enhanced first normalized test computed tomography image is aligned to an average computed tomographic image of a control group to obtain a second normalized test computed tomography image. An analysis based on the second normalized test computed tomography image and a plurality of computerized tomographic images of the control group is performed to obtain a t-score map.

  • Patent number: 11042983
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an operating method of an automatic brain infarction detection system on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which includes steps as follows. Images corresponding to different slices of a brain of a subject are received from the MRI machine. The image mask process is performed on first and second images of the images. It is determined whether the cerebellum image intensity and the brain image intensity in the first image are matched. When the cerebellum image intensity and the brain image intensity are not matched, the cerebellar image intensity in the first image is adjusted. The first image is processed through a nonlinear regression to obtain a third image. A neural network identify an infarct region by using the first, second and third images that are cut.
