20080205732 | Artifact suppression in dynamic magnetic resonance imaging - A method for removing one or more artifacts from a time series of magnetic resonance (MR) images is provided. In one embodiment of the invention, an MR time series of data sets is acquired while changing the k-space that is sampled at each time frame. By using the acquired data, information is produced for a plurality of MR images at different time points, wherein the images contain desired components and one or more artifacts. Changing the k-space locations that are sampled from time frame to time frame makes the artifacts behave in a signature way through time, so that they can be identified as being artifacts and be removed through temporal analysis. | 08-28-2008 |
20100117647 | Accelerated Dynamic Magnetic Resonance Imaging in the Presence of Motion and Other Time-Related Disruptions - Embodiments of the present invention relate to accelerated dynamic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and, more particularly, to imaging situations where the temporal-encoding strategy is disrupted by time-related events, such as breathing motion. | 05-13-2010 |
20100280381 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ACCELERATED FOCUSED ULTRASOUND IMAGING - A system and method for performing accelerated ultrasound imaging provides significant increases in image acquisition speed using substantially simultaneous transmission of a plurality of ultrasound beams into an object being imaged. The resulting acquired echo signal contributions resulting from the reflection of the simultaneously transmitted beams off different features of the object being imaged are separated by employing a spatial decoding scheme. The spatial decoding scheme characterizes how received signals from features within the object being imaged are measured differently by each of the elements of an ultrasound transducer. The present invention may further include a temporal encoding and decoding scheme, which includes the modulation of a potion of the ultrasound beams transmitted during a portion of ultrasound data acquisition periods, to provide improved separation of the signal components from different features. | 11-04-2010 |
20130006096 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ACCELERATED FOCUSED ULTRASOUND IMAGING - Embodiments of the present invention relate to systems and methods for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and, more particularly, to cardiac cine MRI in which the cardiac sequences are gated retrospectively. In some embodiments, UNFOLD or related temporally- based imaging (e.g., UNFOLD-SENSE) is combined with retrospective gating to produce, for example, better images of the heart in the late diastolic part of the cardiac cycle. | 01-03-2013 |

20150265250 | DATA RECONSTRUCTION FOR IMPROVED ULTRASOUND IMAGING - A system and method for reconstructing ultrasound images provides improvements in image quality by using and digitally processing the acquired data along a plurality of dimensions. The echo signal reflected off different features in the object is reconstructed into images by solving a regularized linear system of equations that involves the geometry of the imaging transducer and of the image field-of-view. Processing can be performed ahead of time to create reconstruction matrices that can be reused indefinitely for a given transducer and field-of-view. The present invention can include a temporal encoding and decoding scheme, which includes changes in the direction of propagation and/or focusing characteris-tics of the transmitted ultrasound field from one time frame to the next, to provide improved discrimination between desired object features and artifacts. | 09-24-2015 |

20100099521 | Football with Inflatable Bladder Having Integral Grip Areas - A football comprising an inflatable bladder integrally molded with raised areas which are intended to be exposed, and exterior panels which are adhered to the bladder to span the spaces between them. The raised areas or ridges are formed to extend outward from the exterior panels and provide a raised grip area. By bonding the exterior panels to the bladder directly, stitching and lacing are eliminated to simplify construction and manufacture. The football is provided with a plurality of raised areas to provide more grip areas than the single lace area of a traditional football. Each of the raised ridges are contoured to more closely follow the shape of a thrower's hand as it grasps the ball and thereby providing greater contact area and better control. | 04-22-2010 |

20130133640 | OPTICAL SENSOR ARRAY AND METHOD FOR SOLAR CONCENTRATOR ALIGNMENT - In a solar concentrator of a type having a curved mirror adapted to focus light onto an energy collecting body mounted at the mirror's focal axis, an alignment correction apparatus and method includes a linear array of light detectors adapted to be mounted at a bottom of and across a centerline of the curved mirror so as to intercept the shadow cast by the energy collecting body mounted along the focal axis. Outputs of each of the detectors are measured and plotted according to an order of arrangement of the light detectors on the array. The output results in a dip across adjacent detectors when a shadow falls across the array. A shadow detection means is adapted to determine a center point of the dip and correction means are configured to output a correction command if the center point is different from an optimal position. | 05-30-2013 |

20080307665 | ENCODER HUB TO DISC ATTACHMENT METHOD AND APPARATUS - An annular having a central bore includes a conical surface concentric with the bore such that the conical surface has a peak, an inner trough and an outer lip and the inner trough is adjacent to the central bore. A retention groove located under the outer lip has an outside diameter that is less than the lip outside diameter. A tapered reflective face extends outward from the retention groove. When a code wheel disc having an inside diameter that is smaller than said lip outside diameter is pressed onto the conical surface, the difference in size of the lip outside diameter and the disc inside diameter promotes a deflection of the disc which forces it to conform to the tapered reflective surface. | 12-18-2008 |

20090000016 | Toilet Bowl Cleaning And/Or Deodorizing Device - A device for spraying an inner surface of a toilet bowl with a cleaning fluid is disclosed. The device includes a container for the fluid, a fluid sprayer through which the fluid can be sprayed on the inner surface of the wall of the enclosure, a pumping apparatus for delivering fluid from the container to the fluid sprayer, a sensor for detecting the presence of an object near the fluid sprayer, and a controller. The controller executes a stored program that activates the sensor at a beginning time of a time interval before a scheduled spraying time stored in the controller, monitors electrical signals from the sensor during the time interval to determine if an object is near the fluid sprayer, and if the controller determines that an object has not been near the sensor during the time interval, activates the pumping apparatus for delivering fluid from the container to the fluid sprayer. | 01-01-2009 |

A control valve or flow restrictor may be provided for preventing unintended discharge of fluid when the container is inverted. | 12-13-2012 |
20120312896 | Fluid Dispensing Device Having Multiple Spray Patterns - A fluid dispensing device is disclosed that is capable of producing two distinct spray patterns. The device may include a rotatable hub having a first barrel for producing a first spray pattern and a second barrel for producing a second spray pattern. The barrels may be oriented in different directions with a predetermined angle between directions, such as approximately 180 degrees. A shell may be coupled to and rotatable with the hub. The shell may include a first portion having a first structural feature corresponding to a characteristic of the first spray pattern and a second portion may having a second structural feature corresponding to a characteristic of the second spray pattern. The structural features inform the user of a characteristic of the spray pattern that will be discharged by the device by the associated barrels, thereby permitting the user to intuitively select the desired spray pattern. | 12-13-2012 |
