摘要:
An iterative method for calibrating a transducer array characterized by calibration parameters, based on time delay measurements between transducer pairs, comprising the steps of: creating a distance data set that includes pairwise distances between estimated positions of transducer; forming a time delay measurement data set that includes time delay measurements between transducer pairs; generating from the time delay measurement data set an estimate of at least one calibration parameter; modifying the time delay measurement data set and the distance data set based on the estimated calibration parameters; denoising the modified distance data set with an iterative algorithm; updating the estimated positions of transducers based on the denoised modified distance data set; and repeating at least a portion of the steps until the difference between the estimated positions of transducer pairs and updated estimated positions of transducers satisfies a stopping criterion.

The aim of the invention is to provide inter-channel level differences ICLD related to audio signals for hearing aids. This aim is achieved by a method for computing ICLD from a first and second audio source signals, the first source signal being wired with a first processing module and the second source signal being wired with a second processing module, the second processing module receiving wirelessly information from the first processing module, this method comprising the steps of: acquiring first samples of the first sound signal by the first processing module, defining a first time frame, converting the first time frame into first frequency bands and grouping them into two first frequency sub-bands, calculating a first power estimate of each first frequency sub-bands, encoding and transmitting same to the second processing module, acquiring second samples of the second sound signal by the second processing module,defining a second time frame comprising acquired samples, converting same into second frequency bands, grouping them into two second frequency sub-bands,calculating a second power estimate of each second frequency sub-bands, receiving and decoding the encoded first power estimates, computing for each frequency sub-band, an ICLD by subtracting the first decoded power estimates and the second power estimates.

This application presents a system and related methods that analyze a volume of tissue using ultrasound waveform tomography imaging. By using frequency-domain waveform tomography techniques and a gradient descent algorithm, the system can reconstruct the sound speed distributions of a volume of tissue, such as breast tissue, of varying densities with different types of lesions. By allowing sound speed to have an imaginary component that characterizes sound attenuation, the system can classify the different types of lesions with a fine granularity.

Artificial kidney of the single-needle type, incorporating an extracorporeal blood circuit provided with a haemodialyser (13) or haemofilter (31) positioned between two blood circulation pumps (12, 19). This circuit is also provided with a bubble trap (18) and a safety clamp (26) and means for perfusing quantities of liquid which are capable of being relatively large. The perfusing means comprise a reservoir (23) and a perfusion pump (24) the motion of which is under the control of the sequential motion of one of the two blood circulation pumps (12, 19) and also comprise a conduit connecting the reservoir (23) to the extracorporeal blood circuit by way of the perfusion pump (24).
