Abstract:
A system and method provide image data compression and reconstruction technique optimizations that may enhance (1) local gradient quantization, (2) quantized gradient merging, and/or (3) prediction and/or prediction error computations. A data structure may be created before image data compression that provides access to pre-computed quantization values during image data compression. Quantization merging may be performed by a one-to-one mapping of quantization vectors into corresponding quantization values. Subsequently, the sign of the quantization values may be checked to further reduce the number of logical steps required. A prediction technique may alleviate the effect that noise of neighboring pixels has on the current pixel. The optimizations may be applied to a JPEG-LS based algorithm to speed up processing by approximately 50%, while maintaining error controllability and compression ratio. The optimizations may enhance remote rendering and viewing of medical images in a client server environment.
Abstract:
A system and method for rendering images, and performing operations such as windowing and leveling, when the parameters of a client appliance are known and rendering images when the parameters of a client appliance are unknown. The invention also considers the rendering from the client appliance perspective and the server appliance perspective.

Abstract:
Complementary metamaterial elements provide an effective permittivity and/or permeability for surface structures and/or waveguide structures. The complementary metamaterial resonant elements may include Babinet complements of “split ring resonator” (SRR) and “electric LC” (ELC) metamaterial elements. In some approaches, the complementary metamaterial elements are embedded in the bounding surfaces of planar waveguides, e.g. to implement waveguide based gradient index lenses for beam steering/focusing devices, antenna array feed structures, etc.
