Abstract:
A method and system for geolocation using a street light system having transponding technology. A predetermined band of radio frequencies employing spread spectrum technology is used to identify locations relative to an individual street light.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for ultrasound beamforming are provided. One method includes obtaining ultrasound data using receive line spacing that changes as a function of depth, determining a number of transmit events to combine at each of a plurality of points for use in combining the obtained ultrasound data, and aligning the ultrasound data with time delays computed from a probe geometry used to obtain the ultrasound data. The method also includes combining the aligned ultrasound data to generate an ultrasound image.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for communicating ultrasound data are provided. One method includes monitoring over time estimates of bandwidth of a channel communicatively coupling an imaging location with another location remote from the imaging location and communicating the estimates to a system at the imaging location. The method also includes identifying at least one of a region-of-interest (ROI) mask or one or more transmission parameters for the channel and adjusting at least one of the ROI mask or the one or more transmission parameters based on the monitored estimates of the bandwidth for communicating the medical images.

Abstract:
A method for ultrasound flow imaging includes transmitting a set of transmission beams through a region of interest having a plurality of spatial locations. The method further includes generating demodulated data in response to the set of transmission beams. Further, the method includes obtaining a plurality of wave-number vectors and location response data corresponding to each spatial location. Moreover, the method includes determining a plurality of Doppler frequency values based on the location response data and determining a flow vector for each spatial location based on the plurality of Doppler frequency values and the plurality of wave-number vectors. The method also includes generating a flow vector image based on the flow vectors corresponding to the plurality of spatial locations within the region of interest, where the flow vector image is representative of a magnitude and direction of blood flow in the region of interest.
