  • Publication number: 20220351530
    Abstract: A system and method of screening biological specimens by at least one processor may include receiving a sample image depicting a biological specimen; applying a machine-learning (ML) based autoencoder on the sample image, wherein said autoencoder is trained to generate a reconstructed version of the sample image, via a latent feature vector; associating a latent feature of the latent feature vector to a corresponding visual phenotype of the biological specimen; and screening the biological specimen based on said association. Embodiments of the invention may subsequently modify a value of the latent feature to produce a vector set, comprising a plurality of latent feature vectors; apply a decoder portion of the autoencoder on the vector set, to produce a corresponding reconstructed image set, representing evolution or amplification of a visual phenotype of the biological specimen; and associate the latent feature to the visual phenotype based on the reconstructed image set.

  • Patent number: 7742040
    Abstract: A keypad is disclosed which has a plurality of keys (12) for the input of information. Each key has a first switch (80) and a second switch (90). The first switches (80) are all connected to a common electrical interconnection (120) and the second switches (90) are connected into a matrix electrical interconnection (62, 100). The microprocessor (66) detects a global signal on the common interconnection (120) and supplies scan signals to the matrix interconnection (62, 100) to enable detection of a particular key. The processor (66) may also selectively change the state of lines (62, 100) of the matrix and also maintain particular lines in a predetermined state by open drain ports of the processor to which the lines of the matrix are connected.
