  • Publication number: 20180214023
    Abstract: An OCT system with a swept light source centered around 1.7 ?m for identifying atherosclerotic plaque and visualization of large lipid pool is provided. Advantages for using the 1.7 ?m swept source laser include higher contrast between lipid and normal tissue and deeper penetration of the optical signals from the 1.7 ?m swept source laser into the tissue. With deeper penetration into the tissue, more structural information from deep within the tissue is obtained. The present invention also features multimodality imaging systems that integrate additional imaging systems into the OCT system at 1.7 ?m. As an example, an integrated 1.3 ?m and 1.7 ?m OCT system is provided which simultaneously generates OCT images using both the OCT systems which are used to characterize and differentiate the types of tissue.

  • Publication number: 20180145868
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of mobile communications technologies, and in particular, to a gateway system, so as resolve a technical problem of a complex network structure caused due to that different network architectures need different gateways. The gateway system provided in the present invention separates a control plane from a forwarding plane. A gateway controller is configured to complete a control function, and may control respective generation of control information for data packets of multiple different protocol types. A gateway forwarding device is responsible for forwarding, and may be controlled by the gateway controller to receive and send data packets of various protocol types. In a multi-standard access architecture, only one or few such gateway systems may need to be accessed instead of accessing multiple different gateways, thereby simplifying a network topology structure, and facilitating network maintenance.

  • Publication number: 20170164825
    Abstract: A three-dimensional (three dimensional) segmentation method with intensity-based Doppler variance (IBDV) based on swept-source OCT. The automatic three dimensional segmentation method is used to obtain seven surfaces of intra-retinal layers. The microvascular network of the retina, which is acquired by the IBDV method, can be divided into six layers. The microvascular network of the six individual layers are visualized, and the morphology and contrast images can be improved by using the segmentation method. This method has potential for earlier diagnosis and precise monitoring in retinal vascular diseases. Each tomographic image is composed of eight repeat scans at the same position, which achieves a high time difference to improve the sensitivity of the angiographic method. A subpixel registration algorithm is used to reduce the eye movement. The GPU was used to accelerate the data processing to achieve real-time preview of the acquired data.
