    摘要: An ultrasound pulsed Doppler system detects Doppler-shifted acoustic pulses reflected from moving material in a body and received by a transducer, and displays the velocity field of the material on a screen in a color flow format together with the black-and-white display of the ultrasound B-mode of the body. The system detects the average velocity of the material at a plurality of localized sample regions in the body by determining the complex correlation function for pairs of reflected signals from each sample region that are received by the transducer, where the complex phase of the correlation function is proportional to the velocity of the material, projected along the ray from the sample region to the transducer. The display constitutes an array of pixels, and the system determines a value at each pixel that represents the velocity for the material at the location imaged by the pixel. These velocity values are determined by selecting, for each pixel, a plurality of sample regions having images neighboring the pixel, and interpolating separately the real and imaginary parts of the complex correlation value from these sample regions. These interpolated complex correlation function values are used to determine the velocity value for the pixel. The interpolation is carried out using a 2.times.4 kernel, with 2-point interpolation along the dimension of the ray and 4-point interpolation along the perpendicular azimuthal dimension. In a further improvement, the system also displays the flow turbulence field in a color flow format by determining the average power in the reflected signals from each sample region, interpolating these values to obtain a pixel power value, and using this value and the magnitude of the complex correlation function value to obtain a turbulence estimate value.

    摘要: An ultrasonic Doppler flow (i.e. blood) imaging and/or measuring system capable of adaptively suppressing stationary or slowly-moving non-flow (i.e. blood) signals having variable spectra from the recovered ultrasonic echoes. In accordance with the invention, the tissue signals are suppressed using a tissue rejection filter arrangement having an attenuation characteristic which is controlled based upon measured estimates of at least one spectral characteristic of the tissue signals to be removed, thereby maximizing the rejection of tissue movement signals and minimizing undesired attenuation of the blood flow signals. In accordance with an embodiment of the invention, data representative of the tissue signal movement, e.g., the spectral estimates of the tissue signals, are spatially averaged before being used to control the tissue rejection filter arrangement. In accordance with an alternative embodiment of the invention, the spatial averaging algorithm itself is adaptively changed, for example, in response to changes in the value of the power estimate of the tissue movement signals. In accordance with an even further alternative embodiment of the invention, a plurality of parallel beamforming channels are used for developing multiple sets of color flow beamlines substantially simultaneously with one another which scan an area, and velocity estimates from at least two of the sets which are representative of movement in adjacent portions in the scanned area are averaged for developing a control signal which adaptively controls the tissue rejection filter.

    摘要: A light guide plate and a liquid crystal display device having the same. The light guide plate is disposed upstream of a liquid crystal panel to refract light supplied through an edge thereof, toward the liquid crystal panel. In the light guide plate, a plate body is disposed at a side of a light source for supplying light when a supply voltage is applied. A plurality of pyramidal diffusing elements are arrayed in a predetermined pattern on a surface of the plate body. Each of the diffusing elements is rotated clockwise or counterclockwise about an axis extending through a vertex of the diffusing element perpendicularly to the surface of the plate body so that an edge of the diffusing element facing a reference line connecting a central point of the light source to a central point of the plate body is angled 10° to 35° about the reference line.

    摘要: Conventional rechargeable battery packs for portable electronic products possess charging terminals for connecting the battery packs to charging devices. When a portable electronic product is in use, there is a potential for short circuiting the battery pack by connecting one or more objects to the exposed charging terminals. This invention provides a battery pack for a portable electronic product with a short circuit prevention function where the charging terminal is exposed only when plugged into a charging device. By protecting the charging terminals, the invention prevents a short circuit from occurring during normal operation of the portable electronic product. The battery pack with a short circuit prevention function comprises a spring-loaded cover that is adapted to travel over the main body of the battery pack to alternately cover and expose the charging terminal.
