Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This paper describes the design and implementation of a 64-channel beamformer for a 50 MHz linear array for use in medical imaging. The results for a series of theoretical models comparing various beamforming algorithms are given. The final algorithm is a compromise solution, applying a simple linear interpolation algorithm to a data set acquired using 4x interleaved sampling. This allows for 12 bit, 200 MS/s performance with a 50 MS/s ADC. This algorithm has been implemented on a Virtex 4 FPGA using a commercially available applications board featuring onboard SDRAM, oscillator, and parallel and serial communications. This board was tested with ideal data, as well as with an 8-channel analog board. There was excellent agreement between the hardware and computer simulation results.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
