20090252430 | Automated Underwater Image Restoration Via Denoised Deconvolution - A method for simultaneously optimizing a digital image taken in or through a scattering medium and obtaining information regarding optical properties of the scattering medium is provided. Data of the digital image is received by a computer. The digital image is evaluated according to an objective image quality metric and a resulting image quality value is compared to a previously stored image quality value for the image. A revised optical transfer function is derived by modeling the optical properties of the medium to be used to generate a restored digital image, which is derived from the original image and the revised optical transfer function. The restored digital image is evaluated according to the objective image quality metric and an optimized restored image is identified. The optical properties associated with the optical transfer function producing the optimized restored image are retrieved and represent a close approximation of the true optical properties of the medium. | 10-08-2009 |
20110013841 | Boundary Extraction Method - A computer-implemented method for creating an ordered set of shoreline boundary points by transforming data from remotely sensed imagery of shorelines is provided. A water data set and an edge data set are transformed into a set of 3-point boundary segments having a specific head and tail point and the segments are ordered from tail to head in a clockwise or counterclockwise manner relative to the water.

20100172560 | METHOD AND DEVICE TO DETERMINE DISTORTION CORRECTION DATA - In a method and device to determine distortion correction data for distortion correction of magnetic resonance images acquired with a magnetic resonance system, a starting spherical function is calculated represents the magnetic field of a gradient coil of the magnetic resonance system on the basis of the conductor geometry of the gradient coil. A three-dimensional parameter map is determined that represents a magnetic field generated by the gradient coil using a defined measurement subject, with a defined gradient strength being set for the appertaining gradient coil. A deviation parameter map is generated on the basis of the parameter map and on the basis of a reference parameter map which was determined with deactivated gradient coil. Spherical function coefficients of the gradient magnetic field are determined by fitting a spherical function representing the magnetic field of the gradient coil to the deviation parameter map using the starting spherical function. The distortion correction data are determined on the basis of the spherical function coefficients of the fitted spherical function. | 07-08-2010 |

The method additionally includes partially restricting the grille opening above the second predetermined vehicle speed via an intermediate position of the shutter, and turning the fan off. A specific size of the fan together with the selected positions for the shutter at the respective vehicle speeds provides sufficient airflow through the grille opening to cool the powertrain, and provides increased powertrain operating efficiency. A system for increasing operating efficiency of a powertrain and a vehicle are also provided. | 05-10-2012 |

20100021931 | Fluorescence based reporter construct for the direct detection of TGF-beta receptor activation and modulators thereof - The invention comprises a fusion protein as sensor for TGF-beta receptor activity, a method for detecting receptor activity and to screening compounds for modulators of receptor activity. The fusion protein comprises a type I TGF-beta receptor, a circularly permutated fluorescent protein moiety (cpFP) and an activation state specific receptor binding domain, binding specifically to either the activated or inactive form of the TGF-beta receptor. An activation specific interaction between the receptor and the activation state specific receptor binding domain modulates the fluorescence of the cpFP inserted in between. Thus, activation of the receptor can be detected directly by a change in fluorescence of the cpFP. | 01-28-2010 |
