921 results about "Ellipsoid" patented technology

An ellipsoid is a surface that may be obtained from a sphere by deforming it by means of directional scalings, or more generally, of an affine transformation. An ellipsoid is a quadric surface; that is, a surface that may be defined as the zero set of a polynomial of degree two in three variables. Among quadric surfaces, an ellipsoid is characterized by either of the two following properties. Every planar cross section is either an ellipse, or is empty, or is reduced to a single point (this explains the name, meaning "ellipse like"). It is bounded, which means that it may be enclosed in a sufficiently large sphere.

Disclosed is a method and apparatus for generating a two dimensional (2D) image of a structure (e.g., an organ) that has at least one pixel corresponding to at least one voxel of a three dimensional (3D) image of the structure. First, the surface of the structure in the 3D image is modeled by a geometrical volume such as an ellipsoid. Next, normal maximum intensity projection (MIP) rays are cast (i.e., projected) for voxels of the geometrical volume. The 2D image is then generated using the rays. The 2D image has at least one pixel that corresponds to at least one voxel of the 3D image.

Maximum likelihood decoding

A method of maximum likelihood decoding for detecting the signals transmitted over a Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO) channel of a communication system in which there are N co-channel transmit antennas and M co-channel receive antennas. In a first method an orthotope (22) is generated in input signal space centred on an approximate transmit signal point τ which is an inverse mapping from an actual received signal point (y) in output signal space. Only possible transmit points located within the orthotope are considered as candidate points and are transformed into corresponding candidate receive signal points in output signal space. The Euclidean distance between the candidate receive signal points and the actual signal point is calculated and the closest candidate receive signal is selected as the detected received point. In an alternative method, the orthotope is constructed as the smallest such orthotope which can contain a hyperellipsoid (20) in input signal space, which hyperellipsoid is a transformation from output signal space of a hypersphere (18) centred on the actual received signal point (y). Those transmit signal points which lie within the orthotope (22) but outside of the ellipsoid (20) are discarded and the remaining points within the orthotope are considered as candidate points, in the same way as described above.

A method is disclosed for administering an agent (for example delivering a drug or diagnostic agent) intravaginally or to the interlabial space by positioning an interlabial device, such as an absorbent pad, between the labia. The pad is retained between the labia for a sufficient period of time to deliver an active agent, or allow a reaction with a diagnostic agent. Alternatively, the pad is applied after medication is administered, for example intravaginally or labially or perilabially, to help reduce discomfort to the subject, or loss of medication. The active agent may be carried by the pad itself, or in an intravaginal extension of the pad, or separately in a suppository or other dosage form. In particular examples, the pad has a smaller minor portion superimposed on a larger major portion, and the smaller minor portion is inserted as a leading edge between the labia of the subject to facilitate interlabial insertion. In another example, the pad is placed interlabially after insertion of an agent (such as a medicated suppository) into the vagina, to inhibit loss of the medication from the vagina. The pad can have a variety of shapes, including major and minor portions that are portions of spheres or ellipsoids, or which are elongated and have cross-sections that are circular or ellipsoid, or pads which are folded.

For each point of the ellipsoid, a collection of intensities are computed that are normal to the surface. This collection is then filtered to detect the cardiovascular structures. Ultimately, vessel centerline points are detected using a vessel tracking method, and linked together to form a complete coronary artery tree.
