20120083477PROTEASOME INHIBITORS AND USES THEREOF - A method of treating a disease in which inhibiting of a proteasome is advantageous is provided. The method comprises administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a compound which binds to a proteasome of a cell, the compound comprising a copper bound to a ligand, the ligand being configured such that upon binding to the proteasome, the copper interacts with cysteine 31 of a Beta2 subunit of the proteasome and further interacts with cysteine 118 of a Beta3 subunit of the proteasome, thereby treating the disease. Additional novel proteasome inhibitors are also provided as well as methods of identifying proteasome inhibitors.04-05-2012

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080205785METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ENHANCING DIGITAL IMAGES - A system and method for enhancing digital images is described. A digital image is transformed into a series of decomposed images in frequency bands, or different resolution grids. A decomposed image is noise suppressed and contrast enhanced. Representative value of signal at each pixel is computed based on contributions to signals from pixels in a neighborhood of the pixel. Lookup tables are applied to pixel values to selectively enhance signal in a predetermined range of signal strength. Another set of lookup tables are applied to pixel values to suppress noise components contained therein. Optionally, operations are applied to decomposed images to suppress quantum noise, enhance object edges or enhance global contrast, among others. These decomposed images, after signal enhancement and noise suppression, are then recombined to result in an enhanced image.08-28-2008
20080267468System and Method for Segmenting a Region in a Medical Image - A method and computer program are provided for segmenting a prostate from a medical image such as an ultrasound image. Each slice in a study is analysed and uses a manual initialization to obtain an initial contour, in which a user selects initial points that are automatically rendered on the image. An automatic refinement stage then snaps the contour to the prostate boundary in the image based on a pre-stored anatomical atlas and edge information obtained from the image. A manual adjustment stage may then be performed and if selected, the contour is automatically propagated to the next image slice to avoid the manual initialization. An auxiliary image slice may be referred to, which indicates how the prostate shape changes from slice to slices e.g. by providing a perpendicular profile.10-30-2008
