摘要:
A VLSI wavelet transform (WT) architecture suitable for use in a discrete wavelet transform (DWT) or a discrete wavelet packet transform (DWPT). The WT architecture has a multiplier; an accumulator; at least two address generators that has a first address generator and a second address generator; a control unit; a memory of result that stores computation results; and a memory of table, which pre-stores all possible weights, each of which weights is a product of some specified filter coefficients for performing a DWT/DWPT with parameters of decomposition level, length of data segment, and filter length. The first address generator and the control unit receive data input, the control unit exports control signals to multiplier, accumulator, second address generator, and memory of table. The memory of the table also receives outputs from the first address generator and the second address generator to select the desired weights of the filter coefficients, which are sent to the multiplier to obtain a product with the data input. The product is sent to the accumulator to add into a corresponding sum, and the memory of result receives the corresponding sum and an address output of the second address generator to address the received corresponding sum, in which when all of the data input in the DWT/DWPT are completely inputted, each the corresponding sum is an end result of the DWT/DWPT.
摘要:
A method of signal compression. An input signal is divided into a plurality of segments. Each of the segments is decomposed by wavelet packet transform to a plurality of levels, so that each of the segments is in a form of a group of coefficients in each of a plurality of domains corresponding to each of the levels. Each of the domains is divided into a plurality of sub-domains to calculate a degree of characteristic concentration corresponding thereto. One of the domains having a highest degree of characteristic concentration is select to perform bit allocation and quantization, so that the group of coefficients in the selected domain is represented as an information. The information is formatted into a frame for transmission, and then the frame is output.

The present invention as described herein is aimed at combining a radiation-induced immunogenic effect with a T-cell therapy technique to markedly improve the therapeutic effectiveness of adoptive T-cell therapy with minimized toxicity. The method of this invention comprises, identifying a target tumor, applying ablative radiation treatment to the tumor in-situ, waiting for the production of CTLs primed by antigen presenting cells (APC), then resecting the target tumor from the patient. The CTLs are harvested and isolated from the tumor and undergo ex-vivo expansion and subsequent treatment of immune checkpoint blockades. The expanded CTLs are then infused back into the patient for systemic treatment of microscopic disease. The primed CTLs that are induced by radiation in-situ, are used as the source of T-cell therapy or other types of cell therapy. The harvested CTLs will have high tumor specificity with a wide range of heterogeneous tumor associated antigens (TAA) presentation.

The invention disclosed herein aims to standardize and simplify the process of preparing Ex-Vivo autologous whole tumor cell vaccines. The present invention is a robust, stand-alone device and system for preparing autologous tumor cell vaccines in a completely self-contained sterile environment, and in a shortened time. This new device and system will process the extracted tumor with its associated stromal and endothelial cells into injectable tumor cell vaccines, administered automatically or semi-automatically. This invention incorporates a number of new biotechnologies to enhance therapeutic effects over other existing methods. This invention will allow a medical facility to prepare and administer autologous cancer cell vaccine therapy independently without having, or using, a GMP facility, while adhering to and maintaining GMP guidelines.

A microwave motion sensor including a patch antenna having a plurality of microwave radiating elements for transmitting and receiving a microwave signal where each microwave radiating element is of the antenna in an array configuration. A reflector is disposed above the antenna for downward shaping the radiating signal, where the microwave radiating elements together with the reflector provide a radiation pattern where a main beam is transmitted in a direction orthogonal to a surface of said antenna and a sided lobe transmitted downward in amplitude below the microwave motion sensor.

A method for high-dose Grid radiotherapy utilizing a three-dimensional (3D) dose lattice formation is described herein. The 3D dose lattice can be achieved by, but not limited to, three technical approaches: 1) non-coplanar focused beams; 2) multileaf collimator (MLC)-based intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) or aperture-modulated arc; and 3) heavy charged particle beam. The configuration of a 3D dose lattice is comprised of the number, location, and dose of dose vertices. The optimal configuration of a 3D dose lattice can be achieved by manual calculations or by automating the calculations for a generic algorithm. The objective of the optimization algorithm is to satisfy three conditions via iteration until they reach their global minimum. With 3D dose lattice, high doses of radiation are concentrated at each lattice vertex within a tumor with drastically lower doses between vertices (peak-to-valley effect), leaving tissue outside of the tumor volume minimally exposed.

A dual mode motion sensor for detecting both motion of a moving target and a range of the moving target. The dual mode motion sensor normally operates in a pulse transmission mode. If motion is detected, the sensor automatically switches to a frequency modulated continuous wave transmission mode. This will allow the sensor to determine the range of the moving target. The sensor includes a microcontroller that compares the determined range of the moving target with a predetermined maximum detection range. If the determined range is outside or exceeds the predetermined maximum detection range the sensor will ignore the motion. If the determined range is within the predetermined maximum detection range, an alarm will be generated.

A system and methods for the efficient segmentation of globally optimal surfaces representing object boundaries in volumetric datasets is provided. An optical surface detection system and methods are provided that are capable of simultaneously detecting multiple interacting surfaces in which the optimality is controlled by the cost functions designed for individual surfaces and by several geometric constraints defining the surface smoothness and interrelations. The graph search applications use objective functions that incorporate non-uniform cost terms such as “on-surface” costs as well as “in-region” costs.
