Abstract: Systems and methods for spatial analysis of analytes include placing a sample on a substrate having fiducial markers and capture spots. Then, an image of the sample is acquired and sequence reads are obtained from the capture spots. Each capture probe plurality in a set of capture probe pluralities is (i) at a different capture spot, (ii) directly or indirectly associates with analytes from the sample and (iii) has a unique spatial barcode. The sequencing reads serve to detect the analytes. Sequencing reads include a spatial barcode of the corresponding capture probe plurality. Spatial barcodes localize reads to corresponding capture spots, thereby dividing them into subsets, each subset for a respective capture spot. Fiducial markers facilitate a composite representation comprising (i) the image aligned to the capture spots and (ii) a representation of each subset of sequence reads at respective positions within the image mapping to the corresponding capture spots.

Abstract: Systems and methods for tissue classification are provided. An image of tissue on a substrate is obtained as a plurality of pixels. Fiducial markers are on the substrate boundary. Pixels are assigned to a first class, indicating tissue sample, or a second class, indicating background. The assigning uses the fiducial markers to define a bounding box within the image and disregards pixels outside the box. Then, heuristic classifiers are applied to the pixels: for each respective pixel in the plurality of pixels, each heuristic classifier votes for the respective pixel between the first and second class, thereby forming an aggregated score for each pixel that in one of first class, likely first class, likely second class, and obvious second class. The aggregated score and intensity of each pixel is applied to a segmentation algorithm to assign a probability to each pixel of being tissue sample or background.

Abstract: A hip prosthesis has an oblong plate with at one head end a mounting pin provided with a hinge ball, and at the opposite head end a fastening pin for fastening the hip prosthesis in a shaft of a bone. A first part of the plate extends on a first side of the mounting pin. The mounting pin forms an angle ? smaller than 90 degrees with the first part of the plate and the tangent to the fastening pin at the location of the connection between the fastening pin and the first part of the plate forms an angle ? greater than 90 degrees with the first part of the plate. In order to insert the hip prosthesis into a bone in a simple manner, the fastening pin includes a curved shape from the plate onwards in a direction to the first part of the plate.

Abstract: A modular reel assembly for winding, dispensing, transporting, or storing hose, cord, or cable, is provided. Such a reel comprises of a pair of substantially similar polymeric support endplates and a pair of substantially similar polymeric spool endplates. The substantially similar support endplates are connected by at least one support endplate connecting member defining a predetermined support assembly width. The substantially similar spool endplates are connected by at least one spool endplate connecting member defining a predetermined spool assembly width. The modular reel assembly can thus be adjusted to particular discrete spool assembly and support assembly widths through appropriately selected interchangeable spool endplate and support endplate connecting members.
