A method for real-time analysis and measurement of temporal tissue variations and ultrasonic signals which provides quality improvement of tissue images and qualitative and quantitative characterization of the size/shape of the imaged objects is described. A given number of image frames are stored and made available for digital data analysis. For each spatial coordinate, the temporal signal evolution or a derived temporal signal evolution is extracted. These evolutions are analyzed digitally and...

Outputs from respective elements of an array antenna 21 are demodulated, and the demodulated outputs are stored in storage means 29. The demodulated outputs are multiplied by tap coefficients of adaptive array antenna, then the multiplied outputs are combined by combining means 28, and the combined output is provided via a feed forward filter 22 to an adaptive equalizer 23, wherein it is equalized to obtain a decision symbol. During reception of a training signal the tap coefficients of adaptive...

The system generally includes three parts: (1) comparator units, (2) a parallel array of subnetworks and (3) delayed feedback lines from the output of the system to the neural subnetwork layer.

A temporal summation device can be composed of one or more nanoconnections having an input and an output thereof, wherein an input signal provided to the input causes one or more of the nanoconnection to experience an increase in connection strength thereof over time. Additionally, a voltage divider is formed by the nanoconnection(s) and a resistor connected to the output of the nanoconnection(s), such that the voltage divider provides a voltage at the output the nanoonnection(s) that is in dire...

Embodiments of the present invention provide an edge adaptive spatial temporal deinterlacing filter that evaluates multiple edge angles and groups them into left-edge and right-edge groups for reconstructing desired pixel values. A leading edge is selected from each group, forming the final three edges (left, right and vertical) to be determined. Spatial temporal filtering is applied along the edge directions.

A method and/or apparatus for embedding and detecting a watermark among a plurality of frames of data is disclosed, where the watermark is correlated with a plurality of noise blocks, and the noise blocks are summed over a plurality of respective video frames. Each noise block is preferably subjected to a fade function with another noise block over the plurality of respective video frames to make the embedded watermark resistant to changes in data frame rate or other temporal distortions in the ...

An array of movable elements is arranged on a substrate. Each element has a cavity and a movable member to move through the cavity. The pressure resistance of the elements varies, allowing actuation signals to be manipulated to activate elements with different pressure resistance at different levels of the actuation signal.

A method for design verification includes receiving a software model of a design of a system under evaluation, and providing a property, which is dependent on a specified variable having a predefined range of values. The property applies to all states of the system for any selected value among the values of the variable within the predefined range. The property is processed so as to generate a checker program for detecting a violation of the property. A simulation of the system is then run using...

An apparatus for performing temporal checking is disclosed. A signal logger for performing temporal checking includes a group of edge detection modules and a group of counting modules. During testing, the signal logger is coupled to a device under testing (DUT). Each of the edge detection modules is capable of maintaining edge information after a state transition on a signal within the DUT has been detected. Each of the counting modules is associated with one of the edge detection modules. Each ...
