ALEXANDRIA, Va., Feb. 12 -- United States Patent no. 12,223,431, issued on Feb. 11, was assigned to Siemens Medical Solutions USA Inc. (Malvern, Pa.).

"Inverse neural network for particle detection in a solid-state-devices" was invented by Srutarshi Banerjee (Chicago) and Miesher Rodrigues (Buffalo Grove, Ill.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "For training to and/or estimating location, energy level, and/or time of occurrence of incident radiation on a solid-state detector, a machine-learned model, such as a neural network, performs the inverse problem. An estimate of the location, energy level, and/or time is output by the machine-learned model in response to input of the detected signal (e.g.,...
