  • 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: 7839092
    Abstract: A driving system with a changeable output phase includes a PWM unit to generate a duty cycle signal, a first driving unit, a second driving unit, a first transformer and a second transformer. The first driving unit and the second driving unit receive an input power and the duty cycle signal to drive respectively the first transformer and the second transformer to transform the input power to a first driving power and a second driving power. At least one of the first driving unit and the second driving unit is connected to a power phase control unit which generates a phase switching signal to modulate the driving phase of the connecting driving unit so that the first driving power and the second driving power output from the first and second transformers have a same or different phase to drive loads at the rear end.

  • Patent number: 7364468
    Abstract: A dual-interface converter of a miniature memory card has a cartridge compatible with a standard memory card, a memory card interface together with a product interface formed on the cartridge, and a slot defined in the cartridge so that the miniature card is inserted to the cartridge through the slot. In one aspect of using the converter, a card reader is able to read or write data in the miniature memory card through the memory card interface. In another aspect, an electronic device is able to access data of the miniature memory card by connecting the product interface to a corresponding communication port of the electronic device. Further, the converter can serve as a portable storage media by incorporating a memory module.

  • Publication number: 20070283053
    Abstract: A memory card is integrated with a communication serial interface integrated and a standard card interface of the memory card inside the memory card. The memory card provides two interfaces that share the same electrical contacts without changing the number of the electrical contacts of the conventional specification of the memory card.
