Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for structuring and using information pertinent to in vivo biomarkers, specifically quantitative imaging biomarkers, using semantic web technology for personalized medicine and discovery science. It supports the development and application of statistical evidence at a level of granularity and sophistication more closely tied to the complexity of the disease itself and its underlying biology, including technology linking multiple biological scales, than has previously been eedisclosed. It provides data and computational services to analyze quantitative imaging and non-imaging data, coupled with multi-scale modeling to elucidate pre-symptomatic and clinical disease processes. It may be used to assess technical or analytical performance for its own sake and/or to further annotate the quantitative analysis.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides for improved image analysis via novel deblurring and segmentation techniques of image data. These techniques advantageously account for and incorporate segmentation of biological analytes into a deblurring process for an image. Thus, the deblurring of the image may advantageously be optimized for enabling identification and quantitative analysis of one or more biological analytes based on underlying biological models for those analytes. The techniques described herein provide for significant improvements in the image deblurring and segmentation process which reduces signal noise and improves the accuracy of the image. In particular, the system and methods described herein advantageously utilize unique optimization and tissue characteristics image models which are informed by the underlying biology being analyzed, (for example by a biological model for the analytes). This provides for targeted deblurring and segmentation which is optimized for the applied image analytics.

Abstract: Methods and systems for making image-derived information available by performing analyses with semantic annotations accessible using semantic web technology for personalized medicine and discovery science are disclosed. Individual cases are identified according to an identification scheme. Targets for image analysis for each case are characterized in order to support tracking of a given anatomy, suspected pathology, confirmed pathology, or medical intervention at one or more timepoints. Access information to one or more medical images of each target at each one of the one or more timepoints is provided and stored. One or more levels of image-derived analysis is obtained and stored, the image derived analysis including at least one of imaging features, measured quantities, phenotypic descriptions, or predictions relative to said one case.

Abstract: The present invention is a production control system and an associated method for interfacing automated material handling systems to manufacturing workcells, which workcells have processing equipment therein for performing processing jobs on provided material. An addressable library contains a plurality of program modules with each module defining a sequence of operations that are to be performed by at least one piece of processing equipment. In accordance with job descriptions and process scripts, program modules are selected to provide the capability of concurrently performing processing operations on the provided material. Each piece of processing equipment is programmed to be responsive to the sequence of operations defined by the program modules. The flow of material to and through each workstation is controlled by the job descriptions and process scripts. The processing operations are event tracked for signalling the occurrence of particular operations in the defined sequence of operations.

Abstract: In this method and apparatus, motion is detected by sensing the change in luminance, over time, between sequential images at each image pixel site along with the changes in luminance at neighboring pixel sites. These changes are then used to compute the displacement of the entire image as well as a direction independent degree of image change. With the total displacement computed and represented by signals the signals may then be used to control in real time; camera shutter speed, aperture opening, and/or the movement of the film in a direction that tracks with the motion so as to minimize the blur on the recorded image. These same signals may be stored for later use in, for example, a restoration process.
