  • Publication number: 20240111837
    Abstract: An Image Activated Cell Sorting (IACS) classification workflow includes: employing a neural network-based feature encoder (or extractor) to extract features of cell images; automatically clustering cells based on extracted cell features; identifying a cluster to pick which cluster(s) to sort based on the cell images; fine-tuning a classification network based on the cluster(s) selected; and once refined, the classification network is used to sort cells for real-time live sorting.

  • Patent number: 7918237
    Abstract: A crutch with a length controllable by pressure sensing and a method thereof are provided. The crutch includes a holding portion, a lead screw shaft, a rod body, a control module, and a supporting portion. The holding portion and the supporting portion have a plurality of pressure sensing units, for generating holding pressure values and feedback pressure values. The rod body is connected to the holding portion, a motor is arranged on the supporting portion, and the lead screw shaft has one end engaged to the motor and the other end pivoted to the rod body. When the holding portion determines that the holding portion is held according to the holding pressure values and the feedback pressure values, and that the crutch is oblique, the motor is enabled to rotate to drive the lead screw shaft to pivotally rotate, thereby shortening or prolonging the length of the crutch.

  • Patent number: 7293784
    Abstract: An adjustable computer case support includes two side frames and a bottom frame located between the two side frames. Each of the side frames is a substantially triangular frame including a curved front member, a lower member, and a rear member. The bottom frame is pivotally connected at a rear end to the lower members of the two side frames, so that a front end of the bottom frame may be raised or lowered and detachably connected to the curved front members of the side frames to set the bottom frame to a desired inclination. The bottom frame includes two supporting members connected to two lateral sides of a width-adjusting member, which may be, for example, an X-type bracing having two intersected and pivotally connected braces, so that an overall width of the bottom frame may be increased or decreased depending on actual need.
