  • Publication number: 20240095920
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for processing an electronic image corresponding to a specimen. One method for processing the electronic image includes: receiving a target electronic image of a slide corresponding to a target specimen, the target specimen including a tissue sample from a patient, applying a machine learning system to the target electronic image to determine deficiencies associated with the target specimen, the machine learning system having been generated by processing a plurality of training images to predict stain deficiencies and/or predict a needed recut, the training images including images of human tissue and/or images that are algorithmically generated; and based on the deficiencies associated with the target specimen, determining to automatically order an additional slide to be prepared.

  • Publication number: 20040147974
    Abstract: In general, the invention is directed to an implantable medical device assembly having a more space-efficient housing and components, as well as processes for assembling the implantable medical device with reduced assembly cost and less complexity. The implantable medical device may incorporate a battery, capacitor, circuit assembly, feedthrough assembly, and interconnect assembly with respective electrical terminals. This configuration permits the use of automated electronic module assembly techniques such as parallel gap or ribbon bond welding to electrically connect the terminals. A feedthrough assembly may present a set of terminals adjacent a corresponding set of circuit terminals, also enabling the use of automated welding techniques.
