Assignee:

GE Medical Systems Global Technology Company, LLC - Waukesha WI

International Classification:

G06K 940

US Classification:

382260, 382275

Abstract:

A detector imaging system having an apparatus and method for correcting defective pixels in a current acquired image is disclosed herein. The system performs the correction of defective pixels using image feature information and temporal information. The system includes a correction scheme which includes determining a temporal matrix based on the current acquired image, at least one prior acquired image, and a filter weight; determining a local gradient based in part on the temporal matrix and a gradient kernel; and providing a correction value based on the local gradient to correct the defective pixel. The correction scheme is repeated a plurality of times as desired to correct all the defective pixels in the current acquired image.

US Classification:

382275, 382132, 2502081

Abstract:

A detector imaging system having an apparatus and method for correcting defective pixels in an acquired image is disclosed herein. The system includes a correction scheme including temporarily replacing a defective pixel with a linear interpolation of the defective pixel's surrounding neighboring pixel values, determining a local gradient based in part on the acquired image and a gradient kernel, and providing a correction value based on the local gradient to correct the defective pixel. The correction scheme is repeated a plurality of times as desired to correct all the defective pixels in the acquired image.

Assignee:

The Boeing Company - Chicago IL

International Classification:

G06F 7/00

US Classification:

707 6

Abstract:

Systems and methods for performing schema matching of multiple data dictionaries. Lexical graphs are generated for two or more data dictionaries. The lexical graphs include terms with definitions and identified links between terms. A data processing device determines if matches occur between the generated lexical graphs and outputs the result of the determination.

US Classification:

706 21, 705 10, 700 16

Abstract:

Systems and methods for examining text, such as incident reports, are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method includes specifying a client profile including at least one scenario of interest, the scenario of interest being formulated in an event calculus formalism; analyzing a portion of text for relevant information at least partially described by the scenario of interest; detecting relevant information including detecting a positive match between at least part of information relevant to the scenario of interest and at least part of the portion of text being analyzed; upon detecting such relevant information, extracting the relevant information; representing the extracted relevant information in the event calculus formalism; and performing an inference process on the extracted relevant information represented in the event calculus formalism.

US Classification:

705 28, 707 10

Abstract:

A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer program product for processing aircraft software parts. A crate containing an aircraft software part is received from a source. Signatures are validated for the crate and the aircraft software part. If the signatures are valid, the crate is unpacked. The contents of the incoming crate are displayed. The aircraft software part is unpacked. Responsive to a request to upload the stored part to a library in the aircraft software part management apparatus, a determination is made as to whether the stored part meets a policy. If the stored part meets the policy, the part is signed. The signed part is placed in a crate and is signed to form a signed crate wherein signatures for the signed aircraft software part and the signed crate are different from the set of signatures in the incoming crate. The signed crate is sent to the library.

US Classification:

703 2, 706 45

Abstract:

A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for constructing a diagnostic network model in a more efficient and timely manner and with improved consistency. A structured electronic representation of a document is automatically reviewed to identify the symptoms experienced by the complex system, the plurality of components of the complex system and the causal relationships between a failure of the respective components and the occurrence of the various symptoms. Respective probabilities can be associated with the causal relationships between the symptoms and the failure of the various components. A network model, such as a Bayesian network model, may then be automatically constructed to represent the symptoms, the components, the causal relationships between failure of the components and exhibition of the symptoms, and the probabilities of the respective causal relationships.

US Classification:

378 988, 25037009

Abstract:

In one embodiment, a digital X-ray detector is provided with a plurality of pixel regions. Each pixel region includes a first photodiode having a first area and a second photodiode having a second area equal to or smaller than the first area. The digital X-ray detector also includes a shielding structure that overlies the first and second photodiodes of each pixel region with the shielding structure shielding proportionally less of the first photodiode than of the second photodiode to provide the first photodiode with a first sensitivity and the second photodiode with a second sensitivity lower than the first sensitivity.

Abstract:

Methods, apparatus and computer program products are provided in order to assess a translation following performance of the translation. The methods, apparatus and computer program products may determine input segments of a source language document that may prove to be problematic from a translatability standpoint, such as the input segments of the source language document that may have multiple output variants. As such, methods, apparatus and computer program products may provide feedback to the author or owner of the source language document that may influence the generation of subsequent source language documents so as to have improved translatability.
