20100017094CONFIGURABLE AUTOMOTIVE CONTROLLER - An engine control unit having a one-time integration of a model predictive control template via a potentially long software process. Changes to the control structure may subsequently be made via a calibration dataset connected to the engine control unit without incurring the potentially long and laborious software process of implementing the template of other approaches in the related art.01-21-2010
20100305719METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR COMBINING FEEDBACK AND FEEDFORWARD IN MODEL PREDICTIVE CONTROL - A method and system for combining a feedback control and a feedforward control in a linear MPC to minimize effect of model uncertainty. An externally computed feedforward signal, which is more accurate and reliable, can be utilized in association with the MPC. A steady state relation between system parameters can be determined in order to compute the feedforward signal for a set of actuators associated with a non-linear system. A feedback MPC controller can then be designed. A state observer can be configured as an unknown input observer to estimate the effect of the feedforward signal. A strategy for manipulating the constraints of the MPC feedback signal can be implemented. A resulting control action for the actuators can be provided as a sum of corresponding feedback and feedforward signal while ensuring the constraints satisfaction.12-02-2010

20080201850Positioning platform for prone breast imaging - Embodiments include a platform allowing the female breast to be imaged by PET/CT, SPECT, and/or other modalities, while the patient is lying in the prone position. In some embodiments, a cushioned base may support the patient's torso, and articulating head and arm rests may extend from the base. A pair of open-sided lateral openings in the base allows the patient's breasts to hang independently. The articulating head and arm rests may be lockable into a fixed position and may be unlocked and returned to the original locked position. The base may be constructed of a composite material and covered with a cushioning material, with an optional adjustable, pneumatic layer in between. The cushioning material may be form-molded foam or other material. The platform may be attached to an existing PET gantry table via attachment means that allows the platform to be removed and afterward identically repositioned with respect to the gantry table for subsequent imaging.08-28-2008
20110044903METHODS FOR PRODUCING MICROBUBBLES - The present invention provides methods for the preparation of gas-filled microbubbles, and methods of using for therapeutic and/or diagnostic applications. In particular, the methods of the invention allow for the preparation of gas-filled microbubbles having narrow size distributions and defined ultrasonic properties.02-24-2011
