    摘要: A portable ultrasound imaging system includes a hand-held scan head coupled by a cable to a portable battery-powered data processor and display unit, preferably in the form of a lap-top computer. The scan head enclosure houses an array of ultrasonic transducers and the circuitry associated therewith, including pulse synchronizer circuitry used in the transmit mode to time transmission of ultrasonic pulses and beam forming circuitry used in the receive mode to dynamically focus reflected ultrasonic signals returning from the region of interest being imaged. Because the pulse synchronizer and beam forming circuits are integrated on small chips, they can be included in the scan head, resulting in a portable low-power system. Also, since the beam forming and summation functions are performed in the scan head in proximity to the transducer elements, signal loss is substantially reduced, resulting in much higher image quality. In addition, the focused summed signal is transferred to the data processor and display unit by a cable which is far less sophisticated and expensive than the cables used in prior systems to transfer all of the transducer signals to a console signal processing unit.

    摘要: A three dimensional (3D) discrete cosine transform (DCT) uses one dimensional DCT networks for transforming and inverse-transforming blocks of data, such as image data. The 3D DCT configuration uses DCT transform coding to remove both the spatial and temporal redundancy of a sequence of image frames to achieve high bandwidth compression.

    摘要: A charge domain parallel processing network. The network includes a floating gate CCD tapped delay line and an array of CCD signal processors each including a charge domain digital-analog multiplier. The delay line holds and shifts analog sampled data in the form of charge packets. At each stage of the delay line a floating gate sensing electrode is coupled to an analog input of an associated one of the CCD signal processors. The sampled data in the respective delay line stages are transferred and subsequently processed in parallel in the processors. Within each processor, the computation functions are performed in the charge domain. In some forms, local charge domain accumulating memories accumulate and store the processed signals, for example, providing a matrix-matrix product network or providing a triple-matrix product network.

    摘要: A charge domain digital-analog multiplier device. The device has one analog input, M-parallel digital inputs, and one analog output. An M-bit digital word signal is applied to the digital inputs and an analog signal is applied to the analog input. The output is a charge packet which is proportional to the product of the analog input signal and the digital word.
