20090059723 | Combined Spatial-Temporal Correlation SONAR - A system is disclosed that provides a sonar system featuring combined spatial and temporal correlation array processing. The disclosed system merges spatial-based velocity errors with temporal-based velocity errors by using a combining algorithm that is based on the optimization criteria that the output after combining has no bias error and has a minimized mean square error. With these criteria, the combining algorithm takes the form of a weighted summation of the spatial data stream and temporal data stream inputs with the weights being a function of the relative velocity errors. In combining spatial and temporal processing in this manner, the disclosed system provides improved velocity measurements for a wider range of ship's speeds. In particular, the system achieves performance levels of a spatial correlation sonar for low ship's speeds for which a temporal correlation sonar solution might not be available. The system also achieves performance levels of a temporal correlation sonar for high ship's speeds for which a spatial correlation sonar solution might not be available. | 03-05-2009 |

20100272634 | HYDROGEN LIQUEFACTION METHOD AND LIQUEFIER - The present invention provides a method of liquefying a hydrogen feed stream and a liquefier for carrying out such a method in which ortho-species of hydrogen contained in a hydrogen feed stream is converted to the para-species in higher and lower temperature catalytic converters. An adsorption unit, located between the higher and lower temperature catalytic converters, adsorbs a portion of the ortho content of the feed stream. The adsorbed portion is desorbed during regeneration of an adsorbent bed of the adsorption unit and is recirculated back for treatment in the higher temperature catalytic converter to reduce the degree to which the ortho-species are converted to the para-species in the lower temperature catalytic converter and at lower temperatures. | 10-28-2010 |

20080317314 | Automated Determination of Lymph Nodes in Scanned Images - Techniques include automatically detecting a lymph node in a scanned image of a body without human intervention, using one or more of three approaches. First, a subset of scanned images is determined, which belongs to one anatomical domain. A search region for lymph tissue is in a particular spatial relationship outside an anatomical object in the domain. Second, scanned images are segmented without human intervention to determine a boundary of a particular lymph node. The scanned images and outline data are received. Some of these embodiments automatically segment by determining an external marker, based on the outline data, and an internal marker, based on a geometric center of the outline data or thresholds determined automatically inside detected edges, or both, for a marker-controlled watershed algorithm. Third, based on lymph node data at a particular time, a second scanned image at a different time is segmented automatically, without human intervention. | 12-25-2008 |

The distance r is small compared to a perimeter of the first boundary. Some techniques include determining a revised position of multiple boundaries by evaluating an evolution equation that includes differences in a first topographical distance from a first marker and a second topographical distance from a second marker for each voxel on the boundary, and also includes at least one other term related to boundary detection. | 03-19-2015 |
20150078641 | Techniques for Segmentation of Lymph Nodes, Lung Lesions and Other Solid or Part-Solid Objects - Techniques for segmentation include determining an edge of voxels in a range associated with a target object.

In some embodiments, edges near the center are suppressed, markers are determined based on the center, and an initial boundary is determined using a watershed transform. Some embodiments include determining multiple rays originating at the center in 3D, and determining adjacent rays for each. In some embodiments, a 2D field of amplitudes is determined on a first dimension for distance along a ray and a second dimension for successive rays in order. An initial boundary is determined based on a path of minimum cost to connect each ray. In some embodiments, active contouring is performed using a novel term to refine the initial boundary. In some embodiments, boundaries of part-solid target objects are refined using Markov models. | 03-19-2015 |
