Publication number: 20240169519Abstract: A system and method for rendering an interactive display that is used by a pathologist to review a specimen slide. The system renders a series of slides that contain all the information on a digitized slide and presents the tiles in a linear fashion in order of diagnostic significance. Additionally, tiles containing cells having a high degree of abnormality are provided with images of neighboring cells/tissue so that a reviewing pathologist is provided with context which is beneficial for a determination of abnormality.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 8, 2022Publication date: May 23, 2024Inventor: Robert Tjon

Publication number: 20240046419Abstract: A system and method for constructing a digital composite image of a three- dimensional biological sample. The system includes an optical system that captures images of cells and tissue presented on a specimen slide. The system systematically acquires a stack of images at different segments across the specimen slide. For each segment, the system dynamically calculates an optimal focal plane. Once an optimal focal plane is determined for each of the stacks of images, the system generates a composite image by copying the sharpest objects from each of the optimal focal planes.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 11, 2023Publication date: February 8, 2024Inventors: Mark Rutenberg, Richard Scott, Robert Tjon, Paul Seltzer

Patent number: 8199997Abstract: A method and system for constructing a digital image of a three-dimensional biological specimen that displays diagnostically important information—substantially to the exclusion of unimportant information. The system de-enhances features in a cellular specimen which are not diagnostically important and enhances those which are. The system selects the sharpest pixel for each pixel location from among a stack of image slices and copies them into a composite image.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 2008Date of Patent: June 12, 2012Assignee: CDX Laboratories, Inc.Inventors: Mark Rutenberg, Richard Scott, Robert Tjon, Stephen Frist

Patent number: 7503720Abstract: A holder for a panel, such as a light cover in an aircraft, is provided. A mounting section, a shoe receiving section and a pin provide a pin and shoe operation, such that a shoe is slideable onto the shoe receiving section in an open position of the holder, and such that the mounting section and the shoe receiving section are attached to each other by the pin in a closed position for securing the shoe in the holder. A recess or aperture is positioned in the shoe receiving section to receive the pin.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2005Date of Patent: March 17, 2009Assignee: Airbus Deutschland GmbHInventors: Robert Tjon, Stephan Roepke

Patent number: 6186235Abstract: A preferred novel breaker-crosslinker-polymer complex and a method for using the complex in a fracturing fluid to fracture a subterranean formation that surrounds a well bore by pumping the fluid to a desired location within the well bore under sufficient pressure to fracture the surrounding subterranean formation. The complex may be maintained in a substantially non-reactive state by maintaining specific conditions of pH and temperature, until a time at which the fluid is in place in the well bore and the desired fracture is completed. Once the fracture is completed, the specific conditions at which the complex is inactive are no longer maintained. When the conditions change sufficiently, the complex becomes active and the breaker begins to catalyze polymer degradation causing the fracturing fluid to become sufficiently fluid to be pumped from the subterranean formation to the well surface.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 1998Date of Patent: February 13, 2001Assignee: BJ Services CompanyInventors: Robert Tjon-Joe-Pin, Joseph E.
