Publication number: 20220369666Abstract: The present disclosure provides a process for producing “cookable”, fibrous meat analogs employing directional freezing. The process includes subjecting an ingestible hydrocolloid to directional freezing for inducing formation of elongated ice crystals in which the elongated ice crystals are aligned in a given direction in the directionally frozen hydrocolloid. Following this, elongated ice crystals are removed and are replaced by proteins and any other additives such as supplements which are located in the aligned channels originally containing the aligned ice crystals. Once the desired amount of protein loading is achieved, the protein-loaded hydrocolloid is subjected to conditions suitable to induce gelling of some of proteins to form protein gels in the aligned elongated channels.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 8, 2022Publication date: November 24, 2022Inventors: CHRISTOPHER BRYSON, DERICK ROUSSEAU, AUKE DE VRIES, CHRISTOPHER MARK GREGSON, RAPHAEL DE HENAU

Patent number: 11449998Abstract: A convolutional neural network (CNN) is applied to identifying tumors in a histological image. The CNN has one channel assigned to each of a plurality of tissue classes that are to be identified, there being at least one class for each of non-tumorous and tumorous tissue types. Multi-stage convolution is performed on image patches extracted from the histological image followed by multi-stage transpose convolution to recover a layer matched in size to the input image patch. The output image patch thus has a one-to-one pixel-to-pixel correspondence with the input image patch such that each pixel in the output image patch has assigned to it one of the multiple available classes. The output image patches are then assembled into a probability map that can be co-rendered with the histological image either alongside it or over it as an overlay. The probability map can then be stored linked to the histological image.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2020Date of Patent: September 20, 2022Assignee: Leica Biosystems Imaging, Inc.Inventors: Walter Georgescu, Allen Olson, Bharat Annaldas, Darragh Lawler, Kevin Shields, Kiran Saligrama, Mark Gregson

Publication number: 20220279827Abstract: An oleogel composition and a method to create the oleogel composition are described. The method includes: combining a gelator with an oil, co-melting the gelator and the vegetable oil at a temperature to form a melt, dispersing at least one immiscible inclusion in the melt to form a mixture, cooling the mixture to create a solidified oleogel, and incorporating the solidified oleogel into a meat analogue mixture.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 3, 2022Publication date: September 8, 2022Applicant: Paragon Flavors, Inc.Inventors: Matthew SILLICK, Christopher Mark GREGSON

Patent number: 11241024Abstract: The present disclosure provides a process for producing “cookable”, fibrous meat analogues employing directional freezing. The process includes subjecting an ingestible polysaccharide containing hydrogel of selected size and shape to directional freezing for inducing formation of elongated ice crystals with said elongated ice crystals aligned in a given direction in the ingestible hydrogel to form a textured hydrogel containing ice crystals. Following this the textured hydrogel is immersed in a solution containing an ingestible soluble protein at a preselected temperature so that as the ice crystals melt, the ingestible heat gelling protein diffuses into the texture hydrogel replacing the ice crystals. The textured hydrogel is immersed in the solution containing the ingestible heat gelling protein for a selected period of time required to give a desired amount of protein loading.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 2021Date of Patent: February 8, 2022Assignee: NEW SCHOOL FOODS INC.Inventors: Christopher Bryson, Dérick Rousseau, Auke De Vries, Christopher Mark Gregson

Publication number: 20200372638Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for screening a set of histopathology tissue samples representing a region of interest for abnormalities. A pattern recognition classifier is trained on a first set of images, each representing a tissue sample that is substantially free of abnormalities, and a second set of images, each representing one of the set of histopathology tissue samples representing the region of interest. At least one performance metric from the pattern recognition classifier is generated. A given performance metric represents one of an accuracy of the classifier in discriminating between images representing tissue that is substantially free of abnormalities and images of histopathology tissue samples representing the region of interest and a training rate of the pattern recognition classifier. A likelihood of abnormalities in the region of interest is determined from the at least one performance metric from the pattern recognition classifier.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 27, 2018Publication date: November 26, 2020Inventors: Mark GREGSON, Donal O'SHEA

Patent number: 7133543Abstract: Scanning and analysis of cytology and histology samples uses a flatbed scanner to capture images of the structures of interest such as tumor cells in a manner that results in sufficient image resolution to allow for the analysis of such common pathology staining techniques as ICC (immunocytochemistry), IHC (immunohistochemistry) or in situ hybridization. Very large volumes of such material are scanned in order to identify cells or clusters of cells which are positive or warrant more detailed examination, and if analysis at higher resolution is necessary, information regarding these positive events is transferred to a secondary microscope, such as a conventional scanning microscope, to allow further analysis and review of the selected regions of the slide containing the sample.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2002Date of Patent: November 7, 2006Assignee: Applied Imaging CorporationInventors: Nico Peter Verwoerd, Johannes Vrolijk, Wilhelmina E.
