Patent number: 9416176Abstract: The present invention provides means, such as a method, for determining whether a mammalian subject having a colorectal cancer belongs to a first or a second group, wherein the prognosis of subjects of the first group is better than the prognosis of subjects of the second group. The method comprises the steps of: evaluating an amount of RBM3 protein or RBM3 mRNA molecule in at least part of a sample earlier obtained from the subject and determining a sample value corresponding to the evaluated amount; comparing said sample value with a predetermined reference value; and if said sample value is higher than said reference value, concluding that the subject belongs to the first group; and if said sample value is lower than or equal to said reference value, concluding that the subject belongs to the second group.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2014Date of Patent: August 16, 2016Assignee: Atlas Antibodies ABInventors: Mathias Uhlen, Fredrik Ponten, Karin Jirstrom

Patent number: 9275275Abstract: A computing device for tracking an object in an image stream, said computing device comprising a memory and a controller, wherein said controller is configured to: receive an image stream comprising at least a first and a previous image of an object to be tracked, determine contour lines in at least said first image, wherein said contour lines comprises a plurality of points, determine and assign at least one descriptor to each point, filter out points based on the descriptors, determine relative distances between each point in said first picture with each point in said previous picture, which points have not been filtered out; and determine a maximum occurrence for the relative distances, wherein the maximum occurrence corresponds to a movement of said object to be tracked in the plane. A movement in a direction parallel to the line of sight is determined from an average position, a relative distance and slopes of linear fittings for each point-component of the points in the two images.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2013Date of Patent: March 1, 2016Assignee: CRUNCHFISH ABInventor: Fredrik Pontén
