Title: Establishing a secure proximity pairing between electronic devices
Inventor: RAN ALEXANDER S
IPC: H04K1/00
Filed: 2010-11-29
Abstract: A technique for establishing a common encrypted link between a first electronic device and a second electronic device in physical proximity in a system is described. During operation of the system, a user of a first electronic device in the system provides a notification that initiates secure device pairing. In response to the notification, the first electronic device conducts a first key exchange in an audible audio spectrum to the second electronic device in the system using a first zero-knowledge protocol. After the first key is received by the second electronic device, the second electronic device conducts a second key exchange in the audible audio spectrum to the first electronic device using a second zero-knowledge protocol, thereby establishing the common encrypted link between the first electronic device and the second electronic device.

Title: Target-specific dose & scatter estimation in CT images
Inventor: HENNIX MARCUS
IPC: G06T5/50
Filed: 2013-12-18
Abstract: Scatter correction of the projection images used to reconstruct volume computer tomography (CT) images is a computationally intensive process that cannot at present be done in real time. Although scatter is non-uniform, it varies smoothly i.e. with a low spatial frequency. Existing Monte-Carlo estimation methods need to run over a large number of iterations in order to eliminate the mainly high-frequency artefacts that are present initially, but this process can be cut short and a low-pass filter applied instead thereby substantially reducing the computational load. By applying the same principle in the spatial domain and interpolating some scatter images from adjacent and surrounding scatter images, the computational load can be reduced still further. Applying these techniques in an iterative process on graphics-processor-quality computational hardware enables real-time scatter correction and reconstruction of CT volume images.
