Patent EP-0768001-A1 (EP)
Inventor: KOLPATZIK BERND W
IPC: H04N1/405
Filed: 1996-03-22
Abstract: L'invention se rapporte à un système de rendu d'image permettant de générer des données d'images à tons discrets représentant une image à tons continus destinées à être restituées par un dispositif de rendu. Ce système de rendu d'image comprend un dispositif générant une matrice de seuils stochastiques et une section de traitement de données d'images. Le dispositif générant une matrice de seuils stochastiques génère une pluralité d'ensembles de seuils stochastiques à partir d'une grille de valeurs souches aléatoires, ces matrices de seuils ayant été ultérieurement optimisées afin de réduire les artéfacts d'image dans le rendu des tons. Chaque grille est optimisée afin de traduire (i) un compromis sélectionné entre un grain et une moucheture possible dans l'image rendue, (ii) des distorsions introduites par le dispositif de rendu dans les opérations de rendu d'une image définie par la grille et par un observateur lors de la visualisation de l'image, et (iii) des effets en bordure de sorte que les grilles, lorsqu'elles sont assemblées, présentent des caractéristiques visuelles optimales à proximité de leurs bords respectifs. La section de traitement des données d'images traite les données d'images à tons continus en fonction des matrices de seuils stochastiques générées par le dispositif générateur de matrices de seuils stochastiques. La section de traitement de données d'images peut être utilisée pour assembler soit de manière aléatoire, soit de manière ordonnée, les matrices de seuils stochastiques sur les données d'images à tons continus, et génère les données d'images à tons discrets en réponse à des pixels, positionnés selon des règles de correspondances, des données d'images à tons continus, et des valeurs de seuil des matrices de seuils stochastiques.

Inventor: STERN ROBERT G
IPC: A61B18/02
Filed: 1996-05-21
Abstract: A method for cryogenic treatment of a lesion which includes the steps of delivering a fluorochemical liquid to the lesion, placing at least one cryoprobe into the lesion, and circulating cryogenic fluid through the cryoprobe, the cryogenic fluid causing an ice ball to form in a vicinity around the cryoprobe, wherein the ice ball obliterates at least a portion of the lesion. The fluorochemical liquid is utilized to augment the cryosurgical procedure and is perfused or injected into and/or around the lesioned site prior and/or during the application of a cryoprobe to the site. In one embodiment of the invention, the fluorochemical liquid acts as a contrast agent to enhance real-time medical imaging of the lesioned area and modifies the environment in and around the lesioned area. In another embodiment of the invention, the fluorochemical liquid augments cryosurgical procedures by controlling the size and shape of ice balls formed during the cryosurgical procedures. In this embodiment, a fluorochemical liquid with a properly chosen thermal conductivity and freezing point is utilized. Depending on the thermal properties chosen, the liquid either augments freezing of the target area and/or promotes thermal conduction to freeze larger areas, or limits the freezing of the target area and reduces thermal conduction. In a non-cryoprobe embodiment, the liquid is cooled to a temperature below the freezing point of the biological tissue. The cooled liquid is then infused into or around the cystic lesion to produce ablation.

Abstract: According to the invention, a data integrity code including logical block address ('LBA') and circuit implementation are provided. The code and implementing circuitry are utilized to enable data block LBA verification during a block transfer and retrieval process. The preferred data integrity code has embedded LBA information and also serves as a cross-check code used to detect miscorrection by an error correction code ('ECC'). In a preferred diskdrive embodiment, data integrity block ('DIB') (118) is provided to verify that the LBA value associated with a given data block in a host interface (101) matches the value associated with that same data block in a buffer memory and in a data sequencer. In a preferred method of use, data integrity/cross-check redundancy with LBA is appended to data blocks transmitted to a buffer memory and verified after the data block has been transferred from the buffer (102). After verification, the LBA is preferably written to the storage medium together with its associated data block to enable later LBA verification for blocks recovered from the storage medium. The LBA may also be verified when the data block is transferred back to a host (100) from the buffer memory.
