Patent number: 11630116Abstract: An automated method for determining a coagulation result of a biological sample is presented. The method includes obtaining a time series representing measurement data of a sample. The time series spans a period in which a clotting reaction is supposed to take place. The method includes obtaining a global model function configured to model measurement data of a sample in which a clotting reaction takes place. The global model function is configured to model the measurement data as a sigmoidal shape with at least one inflection point. The absolute value of the maximum curvature of the sigmoidal shape is larger on one side of the at least one inflection point than on the other side. The method includes fitting the model function to the time series representing measurement data to obtain a fitted model function and determining a coagulation result of the sample based on the fitted model function.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2018Date of Patent: April 18, 2023Assignee: Roche Diagnostics Operations, Inc.Inventor: Rolf Knobel

Patent number: 11621057Abstract: A method of generating a classifier includes a step of classifying each member of a development set of samples with a class label in a binary classification scheme with a first classifier; and generating a second classifier using a classifier development process with an input classifier development set being the members of the development set assigned one of the two class labels in the binary classification scheme by the first classifier. The second classifier stratifies the members of the set with an early label into two further sub-groups. We also describe identifying a plurality of different clinical sub-groups within the development set based on the clinical data and for each of the different clinical sub-groups, conducting a classifier generation process for each of the clinical sub-groups thereby generating clinical subgroup classifiers.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2017Date of Patent: April 4, 2023Assignee: BIODESIX, INC.Inventors: Arni Steingrimsson, Joanna Röder, Julia Grigorieva, Heinrich Röder, Krista Meyer

Patent number: 11609120Abstract: The monitoring and control of bioprocesses is provided. The present disclosure provides the ability to generate generic calibration models, independent of cell line, using inline Raman probes to monitor changes in glucose, lactate, glutamate, ammonium, viable cell concentration (VCC), total cell concentration (TCC) and product concentration. Calibration models were developed from cell culture using two different CHOK1SV GS-KO™ cell lines producing different monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). Developed predictive models, qualified using an independent CHOK1SV GS-KO™ cell line not used in calibration, measured changes in glucose, lactate, ammonium, VCC, and TCC with minor prediction errors over the course of cell culture with minimal cell line dependence. The development of these generic models allows the application of spectroscopic PAT techniques in a clinical manufacturing environment, where processes are typically run once or twice in GMP manufacturing based on a common platform process.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2018Date of Patent: March 21, 2023Assignee: Lonza LtdInventors: Thaddaeus Webster, Brian Hadley, Carrie Mason, Colin Jaques, Seshu Tummala, Ruth Christine Rowland-Jones, Yonatan Levinson, Nicholas Uth, Pankaj Sinha, Eytan Abraham

Patent number: 11596479Abstract: A computer-implemented method for creating an activity-optimized cutting guides for surgical procedures includes receiving one or more pre-operative images depicting one or more anatomical joints of a patient, and creating a three-dimensional anatomical model of the one or more anatomical joints based on the one or more pre-operative images. One or more patient-specific anatomical measurements are determined based on the three-dimensional anatomical model. A statistical model of joint performance is applied to the patient-specific anatomical measurements to identify one or more cut angles for performing a surgical procedure. A patient-specific cutting guide is created that comprises one or more apertures positioned based on the one or more cut angles.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2021Date of Patent: March 7, 2023Assignees: Smith & Nephew, Inc., Smith & Nephew Orthopaedics AG, Smith & Nephew Asia Pacific Pte.

Patent number: 11589923Abstract: A system and method for streamlining inventory and ordering for certain surgical supplies. The method includes scanning, by an imaging device, a surgical site and receiving, by a processor communicatively coupled to the imaging device, data from the scan. The method also includes the processor analyzing the data, where the analyzing includes searching the data to identify predefined key features in the data that are parameters utilized by a Statistical Shape Model (SSM). The processor applies the SSM to generate a three dimensional replica of a predetermined portion of the surgical site. The processor also defines, based on the replica, at last one of: surgical planes or orientations. The processor then utilizes the replica and the surgical planes or orientations to select a solution.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2018Date of Patent: February 28, 2023Assignee: IMASCAP SASInventors: Donald Running, Jean Chaoui

Patent number: 11593656Abstract: 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: December 14, 2018Date of Patent: February 28, 2023Assignee: AstraZeneca Computational Pathology GmbHInventors: Tobias Wiestler, Simon Lanzmich, Nicolas Brieu, Guenter Schmidt, Moritz Widmaier

Patent number: 11576628Abstract: Emission imaging data are reconstructed to generate a low dose reconstructed image. Standardized uptake value (SUV) conversion (30) is applied to convert the low dose reconstructed image to a low dose SUV image. A neural network (46, 48) is applied to the low dose SUV image to generate an estimated full dose SUV image. Prior to applying the neural network the low dose reconstructed image or the low dose SUV image is filtered using a low pass filter (32). The neural network is trained on a set of training low dose SUV images and corresponding training full dose SUV images to transform the training low dose SUV images to match the corresponding training full dose SUV images, using a loss function having a mean square error loss component (34) and a loss component (36) that penalizes loss of image texture and/or a loss component (38) that promotes edge preservation.Type: GrantFiled: December 26, 2018Date of Patent: February 14, 2023Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Sydney Kaplan, Yang-Ming Zhu, Andriy Andreyev, Chuanyong Bai, Steven Michael Cochoff
