20110276217 | Hard Landing Report Based on Sink Rate Algorithm - A system and a method for detecting a hard landing or other high load event of an aircraft and then automatically triggering a report of such hard landing event. A sink rate algorithm is used to estimate the altitude rate of a main gear. The sink rate algorithm uses a plurality of flight parameters to estimate the main gear altitude rate, preferably including at least the following: pitch altitude, radio altitude, vertical acceleration, body pitch rate and vertical speed. This invention has the potential to reduce the number of unnecessary structural inspections, and may also limit the scope of any such required inspections. | 11-10-2011 |

20130261429 | Magnetic Resonance and Ultrasound Parametric Image Fusion - Magnetic resonance and ultrasound parametric image is fused or combined. MRI and ultrasound imaging are used to acquire the same type of parametric images. Fused data is created by combining ultrasound and MRI parametric data at times for which both types of data are available. Rather than sacrificing rate, fused data is created for times for which MRI data is not acquired. A curve representing the values of the parameter over time is fit to the available MRI and ultrasound data of each location, resulting in fused data at times for which MRI data is not available. | 10-03-2013 |

20130296743 | Ultrasound for Therapy Control or Monitoring - Therapy control and/or monitoring is performed with an ultrasound scanner. The ultrasound scanner detects temperature to monitor therapy, and perform HIFU beam location refocusing of the therapy system based on the temperature. The monitoring is synchronized with the therapy using a trigger output of the ultrasound scanner. The trigger output responds to a scan sequence of the ultrasound scanner. To meet a given therapy plan, the scan sequence is customized, resulting in the customized trigger sequence. Three dimensional or multi-planar reconstruction rendering is used to represent temperature for monitoring feedback. The temperature at locations not being treated may be monitored. If the temperature has an undesired characteristic (e.g., too high), then the therapy is controlled by ceasing, at least temporarily. | 11-07-2013 |
20130345545 | Ultrasound Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging - Magnetic resonance imaging frame rate is increased using ultrasound information. Magnetic resonance (MR) images may be provided at an increased frame rate relative to the MR acquisition. For times between acquisition of MR data, MR data may be created. To account for any change in position of tissue over time, ultrasound is used to track the location of tissue or other imaged structure. The ultrasound-based location information is used to indicate the position of intensities or values of the created MR data. MR images at a higher frame rate than the MR acquisition are generated, but with accuracy of relative position based on the ultrasound data. | 12-26-2013 |

20140129985 | TOUCH BASED SELECTION OF GRAPHICAL ELEMENTS - The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for touch based selection of graphical elements. Embodiments of the invention improve the usability of interacting with data visualizations. When multiple graphical elements are covered by a finger touch, a gesture recognition component detects ambiguity in the selection. In response, a visualization component draws additional regions around the touched location. The additional regions correspond to the covered graphical elements covered. Thus, a user is made aware of the graphical elements covered by his or her finger. These additional regions are touch friendly and more easily selectable. A finger can be moved into one of the additional regions and released to finish the selection. The gesture recognition component interprets this gesture as if the user tapped directly and unambiguously on the corresponding graphical element. | 05-08-2014 |

20110262002 | HAND-LOCATION POST-PROCESS REFINEMENT IN A TRACKING SYSTEM - A tracking system having a depth camera tracks a user's body in a physical space and derives a model of the body, including an initial estimate of a hand position. Temporal smoothing is performed when the initial estimate moves by less than a threshold level from frame to frame, while little or no smoothing is performed when the movement is more than the threshold. The smoothed estimate is used to define a local volume for searching for a hand extremity to define a new hand position. Another process generates stabilized upper body points that can be used as reliable reference positions, such as by detecting and accounting for occlusions. The upper body points and a prior estimated hand position are used to define an arm vector. A search is made along the vector to detect a hand extremity to define a new hand position. | 10-27-2011 |

In one implementation, when such a request is received, the state service determines whether the user is an invitee to the same meeting as the user requesting the state. If not, the state service returns a general-purpose state indicator for the user. If both users are invitees to the same meeting, the state service returns the meeting-specific state indicator, which may then be displayed by a state client. | 06-21-2012 |

Representative attract points of the model are matched to centroids of the depth sensor data, and a rigid transform of the model is performed, in an initial, relatively coarse matching process. This matching process is then refined in a non-rigid transform of the model, using attract point-to-centroid matching. In a further refinement, an iterative process rasterizes the model to provide depth pixels of the model, and compares the depth pixels of the model to the depth pixels of the depth sensor. The refinement is guided by whether the depth pixels of the model are overlapping or non-overlapping with the depth pixels of the depth sensor. Collision, distance and angle constraints are also imposed on the model. | 12-12-2013 |

20120323926 | Efficient Optimization over Uncertain Data - The subject disclosure is directed towards using fingerprints, comprising lists of simulation results corresponding to partial (random sampled) simulation results, to determine whether a full simulation may be avoided by reusing simulation results from a previous full simulation. Before running a full simulation, a current fingerprint is obtained via a partial simulation. If a previous fingerprint matches (is identical or similar to) the current fingerprint, the associated previous results are reused. Also described is indexing fingerprint data to facilitate efficient lookup-based fingerprint matching. | 12-20-2012 |

20110172654 | Device and Method for Lung Treatment - This invention relates to the treatment of a patient's lung, for example, a lung exhibiting chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and in particular to methods and devices for affecting lung volume reduction, preferably for achieving acute or immediate lung volume reduction following treatment. The lung volume reduction is effected by delivering a condensable vapor at a temperature above body temperature to the desired regions of the patient's lung to damage tissue therein. Blood flow and air flow to the damaged tissue region is essentially terminated, rendering the target region non-functional. Alternative energy sources may be used to effect the thermal damage to the lung tissue. | 07-14-2011 |
