Title: Improved computed tomography breast imaging and biopsy system
Inventor: SHORES RONALD B
IPC: A61B6/00
Filed: 2008-08-25
Abstract: A prone CT breast x-ray imaging system is described that can image a full breast to create a conventional 2D digital image in very high resolution (e.g. <= 25 micron pixels). The system is capable of imaging the entire breast in 3D based on multiple projection views from a 1D or 2D detector. Data can be acquired and reconstructed with a limited number of views from limited angles or with conventional cone beam CT algorithms. The resulting 3D image enables the detection and diagnosis of fine micro calcifications and small masses as may be distributed throughout the breast, thus allowing radiologists to make an improved determination of malignancy as opposed to conventional 2D digital mammography. In addition, the injection of intravenous contrast in conjunction with or without pre and post contrast subtraction imaging provides a radiologist with morphologic information on the existing tumor burden in the breast. This capability may obviate the need for an independent contrast MRI exam of the breast which is increasingly performed for local staging and determination of tumor extent in a patient with a known cancer. Integrated biopsy capability permits convenient and rapid biopsy of any area suspicious for malignancy.

Title: Method of Controlling the Combustion of an Internal Combustion Engine
Inventor: CATANESE ALESSANDRO
IPC: F02D41/36
Filed: 2011-03-09
Abstract: A method for controlling the combustion in an internal combustion engine comprising; calculating the start time of the next injection pulse and the amount of fuel to be injected by that pulse, calculating the heat release rate of the next injection pulse, and correcting the time of the next injection pulse and the amount of fuel to be injected by that pulse on the basis of the calculated heat release rate.Even if having the same start of injection and the same injection flow, combustion events within the same engine cylinder can develop with very different speed and characteristics. This problem can be monitored and controlled by adding cylinder pressure sensors to the engine control architecture, however the sensors only supply information after the combustion has happened, so are suitable for closed loop corrections and not for predictive control methods. The invention estimates various indexes of the combustion phasing by means of existing information prior to the combustion event happening, therefore cylinder pressure sensors are not required.

Title: Assigning efficiently referenced globally unique identifiers in a multi-core environment
Inventor: BELLOWS GREGORY HOWARD
IPC: G06F12/06
Filed: 2010-12-13
Abstract: A mechanism is provided in a multi-core environment for assigning a globally unique core identifier. A Power PCÂ® processor unit (PPU) determines an index alias corresponding to a natural index to a location in local storage (LS) memory. A synergistic processor unit (SPU) corresponding to the PPU translates the natural index to a first address in a core's memory, as well as translates the index alias to a second address in the core's memory. Responsive to the second address exceeding a physical memory size, the load store unit of the SPU truncates the second address to a usable range of address space in systems that do not map an address space. The second address and the first address point to the same physical location in the core's memory. In addition, the aliasing using index aliases also preserves the ability to combine persistent indices with relative indices without creating holes in a relative index map.
