Publication number: 20210267440Abstract: A method for determining a position of a tool being received by a catheter, the method including capturing first images with the tool as the tool is being installed in the catheter. The method also includes generating training images for a deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) by replicating the first images and applying perturbations to the replicated first images. The method also includes training the DCNN by inputting the training images into the DCNN. The method also includes capturing second images with the tool as the tool is being installed in the catheter. The method also includes inputting the second images into the DCNN. The method also includes analyzing the second images with the trained DCNN. The method further includes determining a configuration of the tool based on the analyzed second images.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 9, 2019Publication date: September 2, 2021Inventors: Jue LIN, Andrew J.

Publication number: 20190382841Abstract: This invention provides methods and materials for measuring telomere abundance from chromosomes in a sample having telomeres within a pre-determined length range, e.g., short telomeres up to a certain length. The methods can involve a first step of performing a time-limited extension reaction calibrated to produce extension products from a double-stranded chromosomal DNA template of no more than a defined length, and a second step of amplifying, from the extension products, sequences bounded by a sub-telomeric sequence and the anchor sequence, to produce a length-limited telomere sequence product. The abundance of telomeric sequences in this product can be measured, and the measures can be correlated to a variety of indices.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 10, 2019Publication date: December 19, 2019Inventors: Calvin Harley, Jue Lin, Yajing Hu

Publication number: 20180237843Abstract: Disclosed are methods and compositions for determining the average length or abundance of a first target nucleic by calculating the abundance of a first target nucleic acid (T) relative to the average abundance (S) of a second and a third target nucleic acid, in a single well using a separate detection label for each target nucleic acid. In various aspects, the first target nucleic acid is a telomere. In exemplary aspects, the disclosed methods and compositions can be used to determine the average telomere length in a biological sample. The average telomere length determined using the disclosed methods and compositions can be correlated to a variety of clinically important conditions and indices. This abstract is intended as a scanning tool for purposes of searching in the particular art and is not intended to be limiting of the present invention.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 16, 2018Publication date: August 23, 2018Inventors: Calvin Harley, Jue Lin, Karl Guegler

Publication number: 20160357108Abstract: A photoconductive layer with electrical property adjustable via control of intensity or location of illumination by a light source is provided. The photoconductive layer has at least one charge generation material and at least one binder for distributing the charge generation material within the body of the layer. The localized change of electrical property in the photoconductive layer arises on and beneath the surface area of the layer illuminated by the light source via actuated bulk change in electrical charge contributed by the charge generation material in the area.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 7, 2015Publication date: December 8, 2016Inventors: Yu-Hsiang HSU, Jen Tau Gu, Shih-Jue LIN, Hsin-Hu WANG, Ting-Jui WU, I-Chun CHENG, Cheng-che HSU, Jian-Zhang CHEN, Tsun-Hsu CHEN, Chih-Kung LEE

Patent number: 7890281Abstract: A controlling method and a device are disclosed to calibrate a pointer assembly of an air-core meter. The pointer assembly of the instrument includes a calibrating magnet, a cosine coil, a sine coil and a pointer. According to the polarity of the return-to-zero magnetic field established by the calibrating magnet, a compensating voltage is imposed on the cosine coil or the sine coil or both under either a voltage driving mode or a current driving mode. The compensating voltage establishes a compensating magnetic field to cancel the return-to-zero magnetic field. Therefore, without modifying the structure of the pointer set, the pointer has good linearity and is not affected by the calibrating magnet.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2008Date of Patent: February 15, 2011Inventor: Ling-Jue Lin
