A non-volatile memory chip having SLC blocks acting as a write cache for MLC blocks for high density storage requires constant copying or folding of SLC blocks into MLC blocks. To avoid the time-consuming toggling out and in of the pages of the entire SLC block for ECC checking by a controller chip, only a small sample is checked. An optimal read point for reading the memory cells in the sample of the SLC block is dynamically determined by trying different read points so that the data is read within an error budget. Once the optimal read point is determined, it is used to read the entire SLC block without further error checking. Then the SLC block can be copied (blind folded) to the MLC block with the confidence of being within the error budget.

Methods for vessel segmentation and tracking using 7D MRI flow image data incorporate information from the velocity field and the magnitude. A vessel tracking methods selects a time containing sufficient blood flow through a vessel, uses the magnitude image to determine the vessel boundary and uses the velocity image to define the vessel direction. A method for segmenting tubular and circular objects segments the objects into separate vessels and then uses the velocity data to reunite the objects, where touching components are evaluated by the velocity field where they are connected. If vectors point towards the other component, the two components are reconnected. An advection-diffusion method based on fluid dynamics performs a fluid dynamics simulation with image forces according to the Navier-Stokes equations. With the 7D data, the vector field is available from the flow data, from the time point at which maximal flow occurs in the vessel of interest.

A method and system for downlink channelization code allocation or assignment in a Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS) are presented. The method and system generate an optimal channelization or Orthogonal Variable Spreading Factor Orthogonal Variable Spreading Factor (OVSF) code to be assigned to a new channel through a route having the minimum influence while maintaining the existing or assigned OVSF codes. The inventive method and system leave reserved codes by managing generation and release of the OVSF codes. This prevents situations where the new channel cannot be assigned an OVSF code due to a lack of OVSF codes, even though there is enough available power and enough available channels.
