Patent number: 11977984Abstract: A convolutional neural network predicts which regions of a tissue slice would be stained by a first stain by training a model to identify those regions based only on tissue stained by a second stain. Thereafter the first stain need not be used to mark cancerous regions on other tissue slices that are stained with the second stain. The training slice is stained with a first immunohistochemical stain and a second counterstain. A target region of an image of the training slice is identified using image analysis based on the first stain. A set of parameters for associated mathematical operations are optimized to train the model to classify pixels of the image as belonging to the target region based on the second stain but not on the first stain. The trained parameters are stored in a database and applied to other images of tissue not stained with the first stain.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 2023Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: AstraZeneca Computational Pathology GmbHInventors: Tobias Wiestler, Simon Lanzmich, Nicolas Brieu, Guenter Schmidt, Moritz Widmaier

The method includes: defining locations of one or more sockets, each socket representing a ligament attachment point to bone; interconnecting the one or more sockets with mathematical relationships that describe the kinematic physics of the one or more sockets relative to one another; providing spatial information to describe the movement of the sockets relative to one another; defining an initial kinematic state of the joint; defining a final kinematic state of the joint; using computer-based system to compute a difference between the initial and final kinematic states; and using a computer-based system to compute modifications to the mathematical relationships of the sockets to achieve a final kinematic state.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2022Date of Patent: December 12, 2023Assignee: Little Engine, LLCInventors: Franz W. Kellar, Michael D. Bissette, Franz Austen Kellar

Patent number: 11816834Abstract: Various embodiments are disclosed for a machine learning system for automatic genotype selection and performance evaluation using multi-source and spatiotemporal remote sensing data collected from an unmanned aerial system (UAS). A computing device may be configured to access images of a field having a first genotype and a second genotype of at least one crop or plant planted therein. The computing device may apply an image processing routine to the images to analyze the images of the field and determine characteristics of the first genotype and the second genotype of the at least one crop or plant planted in the field. The computing device may then apply a machine learning routine to forecast a first estimated yield of the first genotype and a second estimated yield of the second genotype using the identified characteristics of the first genotype and the second genotype.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2021Date of Patent: November 14, 2023Assignee: The Texas A&M University SystemInventors: Jinha Jung, Juan Landivar, Murilo Maeda, Akash Ashapure

Patent number: 11810657Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided that tracks patient recovery following an orthopedic procedure. A statistical computing engine implements a predictive model of the patient's post-procedural state for the orthopedic procedure based on a database of patient demographic data, comorbidities, pre-procedural walking parameters, including steps taken, and the orthopedic procedure that the patient is undergoing. The pre-procedural walking parameters are populated from physical sensor data automatically collected from the patient. The predictive model uses machine learning and is trained using training data sets. The predictive model creates a temporal trendline of post-procedural walking parameters, including steps taken, and a temporal trendline of post-procedural pain level. A processor then compares the patient's actual post-procedural state to the predictive model of the patient's post-procedural state. The post-procedural walking parameters are also obtained from the physical sensor.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2022Date of Patent: November 7, 2023Assignee: AVKN PATIENT-DRIVEN CARE, INC.Inventor: Alexander R. Vaccaro

Patent number: 11803779Abstract: In an approach for constructing an ensemble model from a set of base learners, a processor performs a plurality of boosting iterations, where: at each boosting iteration of the plurality of boosting iterations, a base learner is selected at random from a set of base learners, according to a sampling probability distribution of the set of base learners, and trained according to a training dataset; and the sampling probability distribution is altered: (i) after selecting a first base learner at a first boosting iteration of the plurality of boosting iterations and (ii) prior to selecting a second base learner at a final boosting iteration of the plurality of boosting iterations. A processor constructs an ensemble model based on base learners selected and trained during the plurality of boosting iterations.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2020Date of Patent: October 31, 2023Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Thomas Parnell, Andreea Anghel, Nikolas Ioannou, Nikolaos Papandreou, Celestine Mendler-Duenner, Dimitrios Sarigiannis, Charalampos Pozidis
