  • Patent number: 12087066
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are a system for identifying cells on a microscopic image. According to some embodiments, the system comprises a non-transitory processor-readable medium, and a processor communicably configured to receive the microscopic image, and process the received microscopic image with a convolutional neural network (CNN) model having a modified U-Net architecture. Also disclosed herein are methods for identifying a spatial pattern of human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) by using the present system.

  • Publication number: 20240184245
    Abstract: To provide a display device capable of further improving reliability of the display device with respect to manufacturing variations, wavelength variations of light sources, and active variations (variations due to external factors). There is provided a display device including at least a light source, a first hologram, and a second hologram, in which the first hologram compensates for dispersion of light emitted from the light source and diffracts and emits the light, the second hologram diffracts the light diffracted with compensated dispersion, and emits the light in a direction of a pupil of a user, and the first hologram has an intensity distribution of different diffraction efficiency with respect to a wavelength of the light emitted from the light source depending on a position in a plane of the first hologram.

  • Publication number: 20240111151
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide technology for eliminating image quality degradation that may occur in a case where a Foveated rendering technology is utilized. A display device (100) of the present invention includes a scanning mirror drive unit that drives a scanning mirror (104) such that, in a case where two or more mutually different non-resonant axial direction scanning speeds are used in a drawing region of one frame of a video formed by a laser light scanning, non-resonant axial direction scanning speed gradually changes between the different non-resonant axial direction scanning speeds. According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the display device (100) may further include a hologram element (106) that condenses laser light near a pupil (108) to cause the laser light to reach a retina, the laser light being scanned by the scanning mirror (104).

  • Patent number: 11138737
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods for predicting the reprogramming process of cells from a microscopic image of one or more cells. According to some embodiments, the method includes capturing an image of region of interest (ROI) of every pixel of the microscopic image, followed by processing the ROI image with a trained convolutional neural network (CNN) model and a trained long short-term memory (LSTM) network so as to obtain predicted probability maps. Also disclosed herein are a storage medium and a system for executing the present methods.
