  • Patent number: 10089518
    Abstract: Methods and systems for generating a graphical user interface for analysis of red blood cells. The method generates a first view of the graphical user interface by highlighting red blood cells in an image that are classified into at least one group indicated by a user input. The method also generates a second view by extracting individual red blood cells being classified into the at least one group indicated by the user input from the image of red blood cells and displaying them group-wise.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 2, 2014
    Date of Patent: October 2, 2018
    Assignee: CELLAVISION AB
    Inventors: Hans-Inge Bengtsson, Lisbeth Palm, Mats Erikson, Kent Strahlen, Martin Almers, Anna Kapferer, Mattias Nilson, Benny Klein, Gert-Ola Carlsson

  • Patent number: 7747048
    Abstract: The present invention relates principally to the statistical analysis of protein separation patterns. Specifically, the invention provides a method of performing operations on protein samples for the analysis of separation patterns, the method including separating a plurality of protein samples to produce a plurality of respective separation patterns; forming a representation of each separation pattern; building an importance map by iteratively recording performance values of classification models against locations in the importance map which correspond to locations in representations of separation patterns of data points used to build the classification models; and processing the importance map to identify important areas. Parts of the map which include high performance values indicate regions of the separation pattern which are statistically important in predicting a classification of the pattern.

  • Patent number: 7747049
    Abstract: The invention relates principally to the statistical analysis of protein separation patterns. The invention solves the problems associated with producing models which are predictive of classification using unreduced data. The invention provides a method of analysing a representation of a separation pattern, the representation including a neighborhood representing a region of the separation pattern, the neighborhood including a plurality of data points, the method comprising augmenting data by representing the entire region using each data point of the neighborhood; and building a classification model using some or all of the data points.

  • Publication number: 20070016606
    Abstract: The present invention relates principally to the statistical analysis of protein separation patterns. The invention provides a method of analysing representations of separation patterns, the method comprising iteratively performing the steps of (1) building a classification model based on a subset of data points selected from one or more representations, (2) assessing the performance of the model to determine whether its performance is within a desired range, and (3) adjusting the size of the subset until the performance of the model falls within the desired range.
