  • Patent number: 10671833
    Abstract: A method for analyzing digital holographic microscopy (DHM) data for hematology applications includes receiving a plurality of DHM images acquired using a digital holographic microscopy system. One or more connected components are identified in each of the plurality of DHM images and one or more training white blood cell images are generated from the one or more connected components. A classifier is trained to identify a plurality of white blood cell types using the one or more training white blood cell images. The classifier may be applied to a new white blood cell image to determine a plurality of probability values, each respective probability value corresponding to one of the plurality of white blood cell types. The new white blood cell image and the plurality of probability values may then be presented in a graphical user interface.

  • Publication number: 20050165557
    Abstract: An information management framework includes a network of connected processors, an application data server connected to the network, and an infrastructure for interfacing with the application data server. The framework includes a first client accessing the application data server through the infrastructure and making drug candidate data available on the application data server via the network, and a second client for conducting drug candidate research via the network against the drug candidate data.

  • Publication number: 20050165625
    Abstract: An infrastructure for an ASP-LIMS (Application Service Provider-delivered Laboratory Information Management System) is disclosed. For example, the system may provide hardware infrastructure for the ASP (e.g., one or more servers, and network connectivity), libraries of related workflow modules, applications specific to processing laboratory and/or clinical data, embedded DSS (Decision Support System) software, and an optional data warehouse, e.g., for storing customer data in encrypted format for backup purposes. Finally, the present method and system provide an effective extension for use in an e-commerce environment.
