Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for using two imaging modalities for imaging an object at two different resolutions. For example, the system may utilize a first modality (e.g., ultrasound or electromagnetic radiation) to generate image data at a first resolution. The system may then utilize the other modality to generate image data of portions of interest at a second resolution that is higher than the first resolution. In another embodiment, one imaging modality may be used to resolve an ambiguity, such as ghost images, in image data generated using another imaging modality.

Abstract: A conduit system for gathering water from soil includes multiple conduits configured for insertion into soil. Each conduit includes a wall having an outer surface configured to be exposed to soil and an inner surface defining a central passage. The wall includes multiple gathering pores extending through the wall. The cross-sectional area of each gathering pore decreases from the outer surface to the inner surface to promote capillary action for moving water from the soil through each gathering pore to the central passage.

Abstract: Described embodiments include an apparatus and a method. In an apparatus, a touch tracking circuit detects a segment of a path defined by a user contact point moving across a touch sensitive display. A motion analysis circuit determines a parameter descriptive of a motion of the user contact point during its movement across the detected segment of the path (hereafter "motion parameter"). A filter predicts in response to the motion parameter a next contiguous segment of the path defined by the user-contact point moving across the touch sensitive display. A compensation circuit initiates a display by the touch sensitive display of the detected segment of the path and the predicted next segment of the path. An updating circuit initiates an update of the detected segment of the path and the predicted next contiguous segment of the path as the user contact point moves across the touch sensitive display.
