Abstract: Some embodiments presented in this disclosure concern an Automated Tissue Dissection (ATD) System. An ATD system is a one stop, and potentially low-cost, system to perform dissections on a substrate from pathologist digital mark or pen mark on the substrate using non-contact and/or mechanical method to extract a Formalin-Fixed Paraffin-Embedded (FFPE) tissue sample with: (a) only the ROI or ROIs as area to be saved; and (b) remove or decompose nucleic acid content in the region of no interest (RONI) and collect all tissue sample from a standard microscope substrate into a specific container.

Abstract: In some examples, a computer system may receive video from one or more video sources. The computer system may detect a plurality of faces in a first video portion of the received video. Further, the computer system may determine that a first face of the plurality of faces has features indicative of an emotion of interest. Based on determining that the first face has the features indicative of the emotion of interest, the computer system may redact other faces of the plurality of faces while leaving the first face unredacted in the first video portion. The computer system may send the first video portion with the first face unredacted and the other faces redacted to at least one computing device.

Abstract: A system for automation of sample preparation is disclosed. The system for automation includes a fixture configured to hold a sample and a reader system configured for receiving information pertinent to the sample. In various implementations, the system includes a cutting system configured for removing a portion of the sample. In various implementations, the system includes a cutting system configured for cutting the sample into at least two portions. In various implementations, the system further includes a first bin for collecting a first portion of the at least two portions of the sample. In various implementations, the system also includes a second bin for collecting a second portion of the at least two portions of the sample. In various implementations, the plurality of specimens are arranged linearly along one direction or arranged laterally in a two-dimensional array.
