摘要:
A method for determining impedance coefficients of a seismic trace comprises determining reflection coefficients of the seismic trace, for example using a sparse spike inversion, integrating the reflection coefficients with respect to time to obtain impedance coefficients, and filtering the impedance coefficients by applying a low-cut window filter. The window size and/or shape may be defined by a variable parameter which may be either specified by a user or optimised on the basis of a lateral variability parameter calculated for different values of the window parameter.

A method and apparatus for processing or compressing an n-dimensional digital signal by constructing a sparse rep resentation which takes advantage of the signal geometrical regularity. The invention comprises a warped wavelet packet transform which performs a cascade of warped subband filtering along wraping grids of sampling points adapted to the signal geometry. It also comprises a bandeletisation which decorrelates the warped wavelet packet coefficients to produce a sparse representation. An inverse warped wavelet packet transform and an inverse bandeletisation reconstruct a signal from its bandelet representation. The invention comprises a compression system which quantizes and codes the bandelet representation, a decompression system, a restoration system which enhances a signal by filtering its bandelet representation, and a feature vector extraction system for pattern recognition applications of a bandelet representation.

Techniques for tomographic reconstruction using non-linear diagonal estimators are disclosed. In a preferred embodiment, tomographic data from a tomographic device is decomposed in a wavelet vector family. Regularization of the tomographic data is accomplished by performing a thresholding operation on coefficients of the decomposed data. The regularized data is reconstructed into image data that may he displayed. In another preferred embodiment, a wavelet packet vector family is used to decompose the tomographic data. The wavelet packet is selected from a dictionary of wavelet packets using the best basis algorithm.

The present invention relates to nanoparticles. In particular, the present invention provides nanoparticles for clinical (e.g., targeted therapeutic), diagnostic (e.g., imaging), and research applications in the field of cardiology. For example, in some embodiments, the present invention provides a method of treating (e.g., ablating) cardiac tissue, comprising: a) contacting an animal with a nanoparticle comprising a matrix, a toxic (e.g., ablative) agent (e.g., sonosensitizer, chemotherapeutic agent (e.g., doxorubicin or cisplatin), or photosensitizer), and a cardiac targeting moiety; and b) administering an activator of the toxic agent (e.g., light, chemical (e.g., pharmaceutical agent) or ultrasound) to at least a portion of the cardiac tissue (e.g., heart) of the animal to activate the toxic agent.
