  • Patent number: 11823473
    Abstract: An apparatus for classifying a picture of a reaction of reactants in a predetermined container; the apparatus comprising a first neural network arranged for receiving an input picture of a reaction of reactants in a predetermined container and for providing, for each reaction category of a first plurality of reaction categories, a probability that the input picture shows a reaction that belongs to said reaction category; a second neural network arranged for, if the first neural response provides a highest probability that the input picture shows a reaction that belongs to a predetermined reaction category, receiving a predetermined portion of the input picture and providing, for each reaction category of a second plurality of reaction categories, a probability that said predetermined portion of the input picture shows a reaction that belongs to said reaction category.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7790462
    Abstract: This reaction vessel support is of the type comprising at least one supporting plate (46, 48) designed to take one or more reaction vessels, and mounted rotatably about an axis of rotation (R). In one aspect of the invention, the support comprises at least one control member (94, 96) comprising releasable means (100) of coupling to a movable actuating element (40) of an actuator (10), in such a way as to enable the control member (94, 96) to be moved by the actuator (10), with the control member (94, 96) and the supporting plate (46, 48) being connected together in such a way that a movement of the control member (94, 96) by the actuator (10) is able to bring about a rotation of the supporting plate (46, 84) about the axis of rotation (R) in at least one direction of rotation. Of particular application to supports for microassay plates comprising wells laid out in a matrix arrangement.
