Title: User interactive navigation of medical images using a navigation map
Inventor: KAFTAN JENS
IPC: G06T7/00
Filed: 2013-05-30
Abstract: User-interactive navigation of medical image data is facilitated by obtaining a set of medical imaging data of a subject. An image volume reviewable by a user is generating from the medical imaging data and a user interactive navigation map 10 is generated from the image data and displayed identified regions within the image volume. The navigation map is displayed alongside an image12, 12A representing a part of the image volume. A selected region of the image volume for review is identified in response to a user selecting of a location on the navigation map corresponding to the region. The navigation map may represent segmentation by anatomical region of the image volume showing organ contours. Locations viewed by a user can be tracked and displayed on the navigation map.

Title: RFID-based pairing method for wireless scanner
Inventor: WU JERRY
IPC: G06K7/10
Filed: 2013-08-29
Abstract: A wireless scanner 11 performs a pairing operation with a wireless scanner base 21 before commencing scanning operations in a wireless scanner network. Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology is used to achieve the pairing operation of the wireless scanner, e.g. a barcode scanner, with the wireless scanner base by using an RFID tag 23 associated with the wireless scanner base. The RFID tag in the wireless scanner base may contain pairing information such as a network address of the wireless scanner base for use in automatically establishing a wireless communication session 17A with the wireless scanner base in accordance with another wireless protocol, e.g. Bluetooth (RTM). The method might further include prompting a user and receiving a trigger signal (56) as confirmation to approve the wireless connection.

Title: Hazard checking control within interconnect circuitry
Inventor: TUNE ANDREW DAVID
IPC: G06F13/16
Filed: 2014-04-17
Abstract: An interconnect circuitry connects transaction sources 28-32 to destinations 34-38 via reorder buffer 26. The transactions can be memory access requests. Circuits 46 52 perform hazard checks on access transactions within the buffer, while circuits 62-68 perform check suppression: they suppress hazard checks for a given access transaction in dependence upon state variables related to other buffered transactions. Hazard checking is suppressed if in reorder buffer 26 there are no other access transactions or no other access transactions from the same transaction source are present. Hazard checks comprise point-of-serialisation (POS) and identifier reuse checks for maintaining required transaction orderings within reorder buffer 26. Unnecessary checks are avoided, for example, when an access transaction is newly added to the buffer with no other access transactions or when the reorder buffer is empty, i.e. the system is idle. Entry counters 44 in arbiter 40 count the number of access transactions in buffer 26.

Title: A turbine wheel in a turbine engine
Inventor: SICARD JOSSELIN
IPC: F01D11/00
Filed: 2014-05-28
Abstract: The invention relates to a turbine wheel 104 comprising a plurality of blades 96 having roots (98, figure 4) engaged axially and held radially in slots in a disk between teeth (36). The blades have platforms 100 arranged circumferentially end to end and each connected to a blade root by a tang (102, figure 4). Separator walls 90 extend from the tangs in a circumferential direction and from upstream to downstream as to define a radially inner cavity 92 and a radially outer cavity 94 between the platforms and the teeth of the disk. The radially inner and outer cavities reduce the consumption of cooling air taken from the compressor while providing good cooling of the disk.

Title: Apparatus for generating a vortex for a vacuum cleaner
Inventor: LEE KYUNG HOON
IPC: B04C5/185
Filed: 2014-06-18
Abstract: An apparatus for generating a vortex in a collection vessel 10 of a vacuum cleaner comprises a blade assembly 13 that includes a plurality of blades 13A-C mounted to a support member 13D rotatably mountable in the collection vessel 10. By rotating the blade assembly 13, a vortex is generated inside the collection vessel 10, and enough suction is created to draw air through the entire system. The use of a blade assembly 13 to generate the vortex may remove the need for an impeller external to the collection vessel 10, as the blade assembly 13 may be capable of creating enough suction to draw air into the collection vessel 10. This may allow the vacuum cleaner to operate with lower noise. The blades 13A-C are preferably moveable with respect to the support member 13D so that the angle of the blades 13A-C relative to their direction of motion is adjustable. A gear assembly (34, fig 5)may be present to adjust the blades 13A-C.

Title: Low latency variable transfer network for fine grained parallelism of virtual threads across multiple hardware threads
Inventor: SHEARER ROBERT
IPC: G06F9/38
Filed: 2012-12-05
Abstract: A method and circuit arrangement utilize a low latency variable transfer network between the register files of multiple processing cores in a multi-core processor chip to support fine grained parallelism of virtual threads across multiple hardware threads. The communication of a variable over the variable transfer network may be initiated by a move from a local register in a register file of a source processing core to a variable register that is allocated to a destination hardware thread in a destination processing core, so that the destination hardware thread can then move the variable from the variable register to a local register in the destination processing core.
