    摘要: Beamforming to image an object (310), such as an interventional tool, is enhanced by initializing the beamformer (308) with the object's location, and optionally its orientation. The initializing uses an estimate of the location/orientation. The estimate is derived from the output of one or more sensors (304, 306). These are disposed external to the imaging array (316) that operates with the beamformer. The estimate is made without the need for a result of any imaging based on data arriving by reflected ultrasound. One or more of the sensors may be attached to the object, which may be elongated, as in the case of a needle or catheter used in medical diagnosis and treatment. In some implementations, one or more of the sensors are attached to the imaging probe (302). The sensors may be, for example, ultrasound, electromagnetic, optical, or shape sensors. Alternatively, ultrasound transmitting transducers may be substituted for the ultrasound sensors.

    摘要: Shear wave dispersion ultrasound vibrometry (SDUV) is implemented in some embodiments to form, from a single tracking pulse, in-parallel-directed receive lines (411-426) for making measurements of a monochromatic shear wave. In some embodiments, sampling is performed, over spatial locations by means of passes over the locations, in an interlaced pattern (600) for making measurements of the wave. In some embodiments, measurements are made of the wave and to the measurements are applied a bank of filters (S724) that are tuned to respective candidate wave speeds, all without the need to determine a difference between wave phases at different spatial locations (451-454).

    摘要: An ultrasonic diagnostic imaging system produces an image with an extended focal range by transmitting a plurality of beams spaced along an array for multiline reception. The receive multilines of a plurality of transmit beams are spatially aligned and are combined with phase adjustment between the respective receive multilines to prevent undesired phase cancellation. The combined multilines produce the effect of an extended transmit focus so that an image produced using the combined multilines exhibits an extended focal range. To prevent motion artifacts the multiline order is adjustable as a function of image motion.

    摘要: The invention provides a dielectric resonator oscillator DR, especially for transmission devices whose oscillating frequency may take several values. The oscillator uses two interfering conductors 30 and 31 switched so that they may or may not form a metal plane close to the dielectric resonator DR in order to vary the frequency of the oscillator while using a single resonator. The interfering conductors 30 and 31 are located in the cavity CAV close to the resonator DR and the switching means may or may not establish an electrical contact between the said interfering conductors 30 and 31.

    摘要: The channel filter includes at a least one basic bandpass filter centred on the frequency of the channel, in series with two cascade-connected reflective filters whose bandwidths are located either side of the basic bandpass filter encompassing the channels adjacent to the channel. A reflective filter can include a 90° directional coupler combined with a bandpass filter designed to ensure transfer matched to the load impedance of the coupler with the input of the bandpass filter connected to a directional coupler output port, the input of the directive filter being formed by input port of the coupler and the output of the directive filter being formed by a port recovering the bandpass filter reflection coefficient. The invention applies in particular to the implementation of the DVB-T and DVB-H standards aimed at receiving digital television programs from fixed or mobile multistandard terminals such as mobile telephones, PDAs or other multimedia receivers.
