20100198065 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ULTRASONICALLY SENSING AND ABLATING TISSUE - Echo-anatomically mapping tissue includes advancing a catheter having an ultrasound transducer toward tissue. A console adjacent the proximal end of the catheter controls catheter movement, and the ultrasound transducer senses tissue. First and second regions of the tissue are ultrasonically sensed while moving the ultrasound transducer along first, and second sensing patterns, respectively. A first 3-dimensional surface map of the first region, and a second 3-dimensional surface map of the second region are generated. The 3-dimensional surface maps are combined to form a combined surface map. Anatomical features may be identified in the first or second sensed regions. The tissue may be ultrasonically ablated while moving the ultrasound transducer along a first ablation path. The first ablation path may form a lesion around the identified anatomical features, and may be selected from a catalog of ablation paths or it may be prescribed by a physician. | 08-05-2010 |

20120087463 | PHOTON COUNTING AND ENERGY DISCRIMINATING DETECTOR THRESHOLD CALIBRATION - An imaging system includes an x-ray source, a detector that receives x-rays emitted from the x-ray source, a DAS configured to count photon hits in the detector that occur at photon energies above at least a low keV threshold, a medium keV threshold, and a high keV threshold, and a computer operably coupled to the DAS. The computer is programmed to vary each of the medium keV threshold and the high keV threshold over a continuous keV range during data acquisition to define low, medium, and high keV bins that are based on the low, medium, and high keV thresholds, obtain photon counts in the low, medium, and high keV bins in a plurality of keV threshold combinations, calculate a noise variance as a function of at least one of the keV thresholds, and identify a noise minimum and low, medium, and high keV thresholds that correspond thereto. | 04-12-2012 |
20130148873 | SYSTEM AND APPARATUS FOR CLASSIFYING X-RAY ENERGY INTO DISCRETE LEVELS - A system and apparatus for classifying x-ray energy into discrete levels include an imaging system comprising an x-ray source, a detector, and a DAS having a discriminator assembly configured to count photon hits in the detector. A computer causes the discriminator assembly to count photon hits in the detector having an energy level greater than or equal to first and second threshold levels during an imaging scan, wherein the second threshold level is distinct from the first threshold level. The computer further modifies the counted photon hits having an energy level greater than or equal to the first threshold level based on the counted photon hits having an energy level greater than or equal to the second threshold level and reconstructs an image based on the modified photon hits and based on the counted photon hits having an energy level greater than or equal to a second threshold level. | 06-13-2013 |

20160139628 | User Programable Touch and Motion Controller - A wearable device having a display and a touchscreen is disclosed. The device is capable of interfacing with and controlling remotely controllable devices. The device is capable of sensing swipes, touches, and gestures, which are mapped to custom command and control functions. Swipes and touches may be with one finger or multiple fingers simultaneously, Gestures may be any motion limited only by the sensitivity of the motion sensing devices. In alternative embodiments, the device further consists of a speaker and microphone to allow spoken commands to be used in conjunction with, or replace, swipe, touch, and gestures to enhance the efficiency or ease of use of the device. In other alternative embodiments, the device may connect to a remote controllable device through a cloud, internet, or cellular network. | 05-19-2016 |

20130037625 | SPRAYING APPARATUS WITH SPRAY NOZZLE FLOW SENSING AND MONITORING SYSTEM - A liquid spray boom having a plurality of spray nozzles and a flow monitoring system for monitoring the liquid flow to each of the spray nozzles. The spray nozzles each have a respective flow metering passage through which liquid to the nozzle passes a magnetic turbine in the metering passage rotatable as an incident to and in relation to liquid directed through the flow metering passage for generating changing magnetic fields, a hall effect sensor associated with each magnetic turbine for sensing the changing magnetic fields, and a control module for receiving signals from the sensor for monitoring the liquid flow to each spray nozzle and providing an alert indication in the event that the flow fails to meet predetermined requirements. | 02-14-2013 |

20150306501 | MOBILE DEVICE GAME FOR CROWD-SOURCING ITEMS - The present invention provides a gaming platform and method, such as a mobile game and method, for crowd-sourcing one or more items of interest. One aspect is a gaming platform and method for crowd-sourcing one or more items of interest by matching a visual representation to a prompt using a mobile or electronic device. Queries are displayed to a player and an image representative of the query is acquired. A time period for the image to score is allocated. Points may be awarded to the player. Crowd-sourced items may be analyzed to determine public bias, perception and misconception. | 10-29-2015 |
