  • Patent number: 11947515
    Abstract: Unsorted sparse dictionary encodings are transformed into unsorted-dense or sorted-dense dictionary encodings. Sparse domain codes have large gaps between codes that are adjacent in order. Unlike spare codes, dense codes have smaller gaps between adjacent codes; consecutive codes are dense codes that have no gaps between adjacent codes. The techniques described herein are relational approaches that may be used to generate sparse composite codes and sorted codes.

  • Publication number: 20240085680
    Abstract: The present specification relates to a method for light microscopic examination of a sample (6), in particular by means of laser scanning or MINFLUX microscopy, in which a drift of the sample (6) or of an object in a sample (6) with respect to the light microscope (26) is detected and, if necessary, corrected. In particular, the present specification relates to a corresponding method for examining the sample (6) using laser scanning or MINFLUX microscopy. For this purpose, reference markers (8, 13) are located in the sample, the position of which is repeatedly determined according to the MINFLUX principle in order to determine the drift.
