Title: Registration method for multispectral retinal images
Inventor: IOUDOVSKI ALEXEI
IPC: A61B3/14
Filed: 2011-01-21
Abstract: A method for performing registration of multispectral retinal images. Corresponding cross-over points and bifurcation points of blood vessel in an eye are identified in a fixed image and in an offset image. The relative displacement of each point, between the images, is calculated. Based on these relative displacements, the offset of each pixel in the offset image is interpolated and the offset image is transformed into a corrected (distorted) image. Such an image can be used to assess the health of the eye. Further, a fixed image and a offset image of an eye are divided in a tile pattern. The relative displacement of each tile of the offset image with respect to the corresponding tile in the fixed image is calculated. An offset for each tile is calculated and the offset image is corrected as a function of those offsets.

Patent CA-2796730-A1 (CA)
Inventor: NARVA KENNETH E
IPC: A01P7/04
Filed: 2011-04-22
Abstract: The subject invention relates in part to Cry34Ab/35Ab in combination with Cry3Ba. The subject invention relates in part to the surprising discovery that Cry34Ab/Cry35Ab and Cry3Ba are useful for preventing development of resistance (to either insecticidal protein system alone) by a corn rootworm (Diabrotica spp.) population. As one skilled in the art will recognize with the benefit of this disclosure, plants producing these insecticidal Cry proteins will be useful to mitigate concern that a corn rootworm population could develop that would be resistant to either of these insecticidal protein systems alone. The subject invention is supported in part by the discovery that components of these Cry protein systems do not compete with each other for binding corn rootworm gut receptors. The subject invention also relates in part to triple stacks or "pyramids" of three (or more) toxin systems, with Cry34Ab/Cry35Ab and Cry3Ba being the base pair. Thus, plants (and acreage planted with such plants) that produce these two insecticidal protein systems are included within the scope of the subject invention.

IPC: G11C17/16
Filed: 2011-06-28
Abstract: Read and write operations of a non-volatile memory (NVM) bitcell have different optimum parameters resulting in a conflict during design of the NVM bitcell. A single bitline in the NVM bitcell prevents optimum read performance. Read performance may be improved by splitting the read path and the write path in a NVM bitcell between two bitlines. A read bitline of the NVM bitcell has a low capacitance for improved read operation speed and decreased power consumption. A write bitline of the NVM bitcell has a low resistance to handle large currents present during write operations. A memory element of the NVM bitcell may be a fuse, anti-fuse, eFUSE, or magnetic tunnel junction. Read performance may be further enhanced with differential sensing read operations.
