  • Patent number: 11954902
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for generating a final classification output for an image of eye tissue. The image is provided as input to each of one or more segmentation neural networks to obtain one or more segmentation maps of the eye tissue in the image. A respective classification input is generated from each of the segmentation maps. For each of the segmentation maps, the classification input for the segmentation map is provided as input to each of one or more classification neural networks to obtain, for each segmentation map, a respective classification output from each classification neural network. A final classification output for the image is generated from the respective classification outputs for each of the segmentation maps.

  • Publication number: 20110138589
    Abstract: A clip assembly may safely secure sliding sashes of a window or door during transportation, and, in one embodiment, be comprised of a strap member and a pawl member. The strap member may be comprised of a bumper portion, and a strap portion extending therefrom, where the strap portion may have a plurality of teeth formed within the thickness of the strap. The pawl member may have a pair of sidewalls supported by a top wall and an intermediate wall. The top wall may have a protrusion which includes a plurality of pawl teeth formed to complement the strap teeth, and be located proximate to the intermediate wall. The strap may be introduced through the gap between the top rail of an upper sash and bottom rail of the second sash, to then be inserted into the pawl, and thereby be retained by the respective teeth to secure the sashes.

  • Patent number: 6337004
    Abstract: The adhesion of chromium-copper layer to polyimide has been greatly improved by a method which provides controlled reduction, rather than total elimination, of water content in the polyimide. The electronic packaging device which incorporates the flexible circuit prepared by the method exhibits greatly improved reliability. It is believed that the invention can be used to improve the adhesion between other organic materials having moisture affinity and materials comprising in-organics or between two organic materials.

  • Patent number: 5766499
    Abstract: A method of making a circuitized substrate wherein a dielectric layer is provided having a first layer of metallic material thereon. A first metallic member is formed on the dielectric's metallic layer, following which a pair of openings are precisely provided within a second dielectric material located on the dielectric. These openings in turn define a selected area on the first metallic member and, significantly, a precisely oriented pattern of the first metallic layer at a spaced distance from the metallic member. This metallic pattern serves as a mask to permit formation of an opening through the dielectric, which opening in turn may be engaged by tooling or the like such as may be used to position an electronic component, e.g., semiconductor device, on the underlying substrate.
