  • Patent number: 11879829
    Abstract: Methods for classifying fluorescent flow cytometer data are provided. In some instances, methods include processing the flow cytometer data with a supervised algorithm configured to cluster the fluorescent flow cytometer data into distinct populations according to the relationship of data points to relevant threshold values. In embodiments, methods include determining a measure of spillover spreading by calculating spillover spreading coefficients and combining them in a spillover spreading matrix. In some embodiments, populations of fluorescent flow cytometer data are adjusted to subtract the magnitude of spillover spreading. In embodiments, spillover spreading adjusted populations are partitioned after potential partitions are evaluated relative to the threshold values. In embodiments, partitioned populations of fluorescent flow cytometer data are classified (i.e., phenotyped) according to a hierarchy. Systems and computer-readable media for classifying fluorescent flow cytometer data are also provided.

  • Patent number: 11873980
    Abstract: A photocontrol, such as for an outdoor intelligent lighting fixture, may detect levels of ambient light at multiple sections of the photocontrol. The ambient light may be detected via multiple photosensors located at the photocontrol sections. In addition, the ambient light may be detected via multiple color filters (or sections of a color filter) located at the photocontrol sections. The photocontrol may determine an ambient light differential, such as an instant differential between light received at the multiple photocontrol sections at a particular time, or a temporal differential between light received at the multiple photocontrol sections across multiple times. Based on the ambient light differential, the photocontrol may identify triggering photosensor or triggering section that substantially align with a geographical orientation. The photocontrol may identify a lighting output profile. An output level of a lighting element may be modified based on the lighting output profile.

In some implementations, the relay panel includes a relay sense circuit that is capable of receiving actuation signals from multiple relays connected to different phases of a power signal, and the microcontroller may synchronize or repeat the actuations based on a signal from the relay sense circuit. The microcontroller may generate relay addresses based on the relay positions within the relay panel. In some cases, the relay panel may include isolation circuits that are capable of providing an isolated control signal having an improved voltage range.
