Assignee:

Intel Corporation - Santa Clara CA

International Classification:

G01R 31/28

US Classification:

714727, 714729, 714733

Abstract:

In one embodiment, the present invention includes a processor having a plurality of logical units to perform operations on data. Each unit may include a multiple input shift register (MISR) at an input of the logical unit to collect and compress data from input signals to the unit. In turn, each MISR may includes bit cells, each having a first cell to receive incoming data and controlled by a first clock signal, a second cell to receive an output of the first cell and controlled by a second clock signal, a mask cell to receive an output of the second cell and to generate a mask signal responsive to a mask clock signal, and a multiplexer coupled between the first and second cells. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Assignee:

American Science and Engineering, Inc. - Billerica MA

International Classification:

G01N 23/04

US Classification:

378 57, 378 62

Abstract:

Methods for a tangible image of an inspected object. An object is illuminated with at least two sources of penetrating radiation that generate respective pencil beams and define respective viewing points and view planes. Post-interaction penetrating radiation due to the respective sources is used to generate signals based on respective views of the inspected object, and thus derive information with respect to a dimension transverse to the first view plane based on the second signal. A tangible image of the inspected object is then displayed depicting information with respect at least to the first view plane and the transverse dimension.

Assignee:

American Science and Engineering, Inc. - Billerica MA

International Classification:

G01N 23/201

US Classification:

378 86, 378 57, 378 87

Abstract:

A system and methods for characterizing regions within, or on, an inspected object, wherein a lower-Z scattering material and a higher-Z material may both lie along a common line of sight. The inspected object is scanned with penetrating radiation characterized by an energy distribution, and penetrating radiation scattered by the inspected object is detected in a manner that generates two detector signals that distinguish between materials of higher and lower effective atomic number under distinct sets of conditions with respect to the energy distribution of the penetrating radiation. An image is generated, based on a function of the two detector signals, as is a differential image, so as to allow distinction of higher-Z and lower-Z materials.

International Classification:

A61B 604

US Classification:

378 37

Abstract:

A method and system for the automated detection of lesions such as masses and/or tissue (parenchymal) distortions in medical images such as mammograms. Dense regions and subcutaneous fat regions within a mammogram are segmented. A background correction may be performed within the dense regions. Hough spectrum within ROIs placed in the breast region of a mammogram are calculated and thresholded using the intensity value. eta. in order to increase sensitivity and reduce the number of false-positive detections. Lesions are detected based on the thresholded Hough spectra. The thresholded Hough spectra are also used to differentiate between benign and malignant masses.
