ALEXANDRIA, Va., April 21 -- United States Patent no. 12,607,758, issued on April 21, was assigned to Analog Devices Inc. (Wilmington, Mass.).

"Delta modulated baseline restoration for photon counting computed tomography" was invented by Patrick Riehl (Wilmington, Mass.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "One embodiment is a baseline restoration ("BLR") circuit for a photo-counting computed tomography ("PCCT") signal chain, the BLR circuit comprising a comparator for comparing a shaper voltage output from a shaper component of the PCCT signal chain with a baseline voltage, the comparator outputting a single bit indicative of whether the shaper voltage is above or below the baseline voltage; a low ...
