Publication number: 20240117342Abstract: An construction method of an embryonic chromosome signal library is provided. The construction method comprises obtaining an embryo and performing whole-genome amplification and next-generation sequencing to obtain a first chromosome signal; mapping the first chromosome signal to a chromosome reference signal to obtain a second chromosome signal; dividing the second chromosome signal within a predetermined interval range to obtain a third chromosome signal; and performing a regression correction on the sequencing read count (RC) of the third chromosome signal to obtain an embryonic chromosome signal library. Furthermore, a detection method and system of embryonic chromosomes are also provided. Thereby, the information comparison of the embryo chromosome signal library is used to determine whether the pre-implantation embryo is abnormal or not to achieve pre-implantation chromosome screening of pre-implantation embryos.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 2, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: LI-JEN SU, SHAO-PING WENG, YU-YU YEN, LI-CHING WU, HUI-YIN CHIU, JUI-HUNG KAO

Patent number: 7543511Abstract: A system and method for concurrently measuring a force exerted upon a tooth is disclosed. In one aspect of the invention, the system includes a target tooth attached to a force gauge which is coupled to a motion module for adjusting the tooth to a reference position. The method includes utilizing a motion module of a force measurement device is utilized to adjust each target tooth of a plurality of target teeth to be located in a reference position. Next, each target tooth receives a dental appliance. Then an exerted force is measured by the dental appliance upon each target tooth utilizing a coordinate system of the force gauge.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2007Date of Patent: June 9, 2009Assignee: Align Technology Inc.Inventors: Ryan Kimura, Heng Cao, Jon Moss, Ken Wu, Li-Hung Su
