  • Patent number: 8687879
    Abstract: Provides quantitative data about a two or more dimensional image. Classifies and counts number of entities an image contains. Each entity comprises a structure, or some other type of identifiable portion having definable characteristics. The entities located within an image may have different shape, color, texture, etc., but still belong to the same classification. Alternatively, entities comprising a similar color/texture may be classified as one type while entities comprising a different color/texture may be classified as another type. May quantify image data according to set of changing criteria and derive one or more classifications for entities in image. I.e., provides a way for a computer to determine what kind of entities (e.g., entities) are in image and counts total number of entities visually identified in image. Information utilized during a training process may be stored and applied across different images.

  • Publication number: 20080257735
    Abstract: A multi-compartment microfluidic device for enabling fluidic isolation among interconnected compartments and accomplishing centrifugal positioning and/or patterned substrate positioning of biological specimens. Includes micropatterned substrate coupled with optically transparent housing allowing imaging. Housing includes microfluidic region having entry reservoir for accepting first volume of fluid and additional microfluidic region(s) having a second entry reservoir for accepting second volume of fluid less than first volume of fluid to create hydrostatic pressure. A barrier region that couples the microfluidic region with the second microfluidic region enables biological specimen(s) to extend across the microfluidic, barrier region and second microfluidic region. The barrier region includes embedded microgroove(s) having width and height enabling second volume of fluid to be fluidically isolated from first volume of fluid via hydrostatic pressure maintained via the embedded microgroove(s).

  • Patent number: 7088854
    Abstract: One embodiment of the invention provides a process and related apparatus for obtaining quantitative data about a 2-dimensional, 3-dimensional image, or other dimensional image. For example, the invention is capable of classifying and counting the number of entities an image contains. Each entity comprises an entity, structure, or some other type of identifiable portion of the image having definable characteristics. The entities located within an image may have a different shape, color, texture, or other definable characteristic, but still belong to the same classification. In other instances, entities comprising a similar color, and texture may be classified as one type while entities comprising a different color, and texture may be classified as another type. An image may contain multiple entities and each entity may belong to a different class.

  • Patent number: 5622981
    Abstract: A method of treating a mammal with a neurodegenerative disease which is caused at least in part by the neurotoxic effects of the .beta.-amyloid protein. This method constitutes administering a metabotropic receptor agonist to such a mammal. In particular, the agonist trans-ACPD or 1S,3R-ACPD can be administered intravenously to treat a mammal with Alzheimer's disease.
