  • Patent number: 12194462
    Abstract: The present disclosure concerns a system for imaging and monitoring fluids to identify the presence of objects therein. Objects that are being identified by the system include, for example, microorganisms, particles, bacteria, cells, foreign substances (e.g. bubbles of air in a liquid, substance that may change visual parameters of the main liquid such as color and transparency), etc. Identification of the objects by the system is then may be followed by analysis to conclude the status of the system (e.g. identifying contamination, impurities, etc.).
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 9, 2019
    Date of Patent: January 14, 2025
    Assignee: VBact Ltd.

  • Patent number: 9046476
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for identifying biological objects on a substrate; the method comprises: (i) illuminating the substrate carrying the biological objects with a light beam; (ii) acquiring at least one optical image of the illuminated substrate; the light beam comprises a wavelength band, the wavelength band is selected to induce at least one optical aberration in the optical image of the illuminated substrate; the optical aberration is predetermined as characterizing the biological objects; and (iii) processing said at least one optical image to provide a value or a combination of values indicative of presence or absence of said at least one optical aberration; said value or combination of values permitting detection or identification of the biological objects on said substrate. The invention also provides a processing unit, a system and a database for use in connection with the method of the invention.
