Publication number: 20250210143Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are disclosed that provide improved computer systems, computerized methods, and computer program products for generating and evaluating automated predictions regarding whether a particular amplification curve from a qPCR assay indicates presence of a target molecule in a sample. In some embodiments, predictions are generated using deep learning networks. In some embodiments, curve-quality predictions are generated and used to assess whether an amplification prediction can be reliably made from a particular amplification curve or whether the curve reflects an anomaly in the qPCR assay. In various embodiments, prediction confidence data is also generated and used, along with prediction data, in an electronic user interface to improve qPCR measurement.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2023Publication date: June 26, 2025Inventors: Yong Chu, Deepankar Chanda, Nivedita Sumi Majumdar, Wallace George, Ming Jiang, Anurag Gautam, Nicolas Zun Yu Wong, Yun Zhu, Avi Moshe Shapiro, Vadim Mozhayskiy, Jasmine Patil, Dhvani Pratik Patel

Collaborative workflow for laborer and robotic system to automate wire pulling in construction sites
Patent number: 11440187Abstract: A robotic system includes a plurality of robotic systems, each mounted by a plurality of sensors and SW processors all enabling arm manipulation to automate a construction process and/or navigating and/or maneuvering in a construction site. The system can interact with a centralized backend algorithm, which has access to the construction site's digital building plan from which a route on which the robots must be dropped off is deduced. The route may be displayed to a laborer, walking through the site according to the route, who can deploy the robots to perform their automated construction task.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 2022Date of Patent: September 13, 2022Inventors: Moshe Shapiro, David Klein -
Patent number: 11300655Abstract: Method and systems for object detection using a radar module are disclosed. Frames of range and doppler data are received from a radar module at sample time intervals. Doppler zero slice data is extracted from a current frame of the range and doppler data. A prediction of doppler zero slice data is maintained. The prediction of doppler zero slice data is based at least partly on doppler zero slice data from a previous frame of range and doppler data. Standard deviation data is determined based at least partly on prediction error data. The prediction error data relates to a difference between the prediction of doppler zero slice data and the doppler zero slice data. An object detection output is determined based on a comparison of the standard deviation data and an object detection threshold.Type: GrantFiled: September 5, 2019Date of Patent: April 12, 2022Assignee: GM GLOBAL TECHNOLOGY OPERATIONS LLCInventors: Yonattan Menaker, Arye Lerner, Moshe Shapiro

Patent number: 10746827Abstract: A tissue imaging system (10) includes a stationary array of magnets (12) arranged to generate an inhomogeneous main magnetic field (B0), a tissue holder (16) adjacent the array of magnets (12) and operative to move tissue (14) placed therein about and/or along a coordinate axis, one or more RF receive coils (20) adjacent the tissue holder (16) and the magnets (12), and an MRI processor in communication with the magnets (12), the RF receive coils (20) and the tissue holder (16). An image of the tissue (14) is created by using spatial encoding of magnetic resonance signals generated by the magnets (12) and RF receive coils (20) for different spatial orientations of the tissue (14) moved by the tissue holder (16) with respect to the magnets. Spatial inhomogeneities in the main magnetic field spatially modulate a phase of each of the magnetic resonance signals.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2017Date of Patent: August 18, 2020Assignee: CLEAR-CUT MEDICAL LTD.Inventor: Moshe Shapiro

Patent number: 6548124Abstract: A method for the controlled nanometer-scale deposition of molecules on a surface, by means of coherently controlled optical focusing. The coherent control is conveniently performed by inducing a linear superposition of molecular bound states, by means of electromagnetic fields supplied by an applied laser beam. The optical focusing is conveniently performed by passing a beam of such suitably prepared molecules through another electromagnetic field supplied by a standing wave induced by two interacting laser beams. Altering the characteristics of the laser beams alters the forces operating on the molecules, thus directing them to the desired position on the surface. Selection of the frequencies, intensities, and relative phases of the electromagnetic fields, as well as the geometry of the interaction between the molecular beam and the electromagnetic fields, enables deposition of aperiodic molecular patterns on the surface with a resolution of 10 to 15 nanometers.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2000Date of Patent: April 15, 2003Assignees: Yeda Research & Development Co.

Patent number: 6402898Abstract: A laser-based method of enhancing the enantiomeric excess of one chiral enantiomer in a mixture of chiral enantiomers, denoted L and D (and related to one another by the inversion operation I), is described. The molecule L and D is chosen so that electronic excitation is to an electronically excited species with stationary ro-vibrational states which are individually either symmetric or anit-symmetric with respect to I. The mixture is irradiated with a series of achiral pulses of coherent laser light. By varying the frequencies, timing, and durations of these pulses one can selectively increase the enantiomeric excess of either L or D in the ground electronic state.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2000Date of Patent: June 11, 2002Assignee: Yeda Research and Development Co., Ltd.Inventors: Paul Brumer, Moshe Shapiro, Einat Frishman

Patent number: 4755269Abstract: Photodissociation of molecules in a known energy level is conducted by raising the molecules from that energy level to a predetermined energy level in the continuum above the dissociation energy of the molecule, along a plurality of different routes. Each route requires at least one frequency of coherent electromagnetic radiation. By simultaneous application of the coherent radiation pertaining to one route and the coherent radiation pertaining to another route, and variation of the relative phase and/or relative amplitude of the simultaneously applied radiations, control over the degree to which respective photodissociation pathways are adopted can be exercised, so as to control the relative amounts of different photodissociation products which can be formed.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 1986Date of Patent: July 5, 1988Assignee: Univ. of Toronto Innovations FoundationsInventors: Paul Brumer, Moshe Shapiro
