  • Method and system for classification and quantitative analysis of cell types in microscopy images
    Patent number: 9984199
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments are directed to a method for accurately counting and characterizing multiple cell phenotypes and sub-phenotypes within cell populations simultaneously by exploiting biomarker co-expression levels within cells of different phenotypes in the same tissue sample. The disclosed embodiments are also directed to a simple intuitive interface enabling medical staff (e.g., pathologists, biologists) to annotate and evaluate different cell phenotypes used in the algorithm and the presented through the interface.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 21, 2015
    Date of Patent: May 29, 2018
    Assignee: GE HEALTHCARE BIO-SCIENCES CORP.
    Inventors: Anup Sood, Fiona Ginty, Nicole Evelyn LaPlante, Christopher James Sevinsky, Qing Li, Alberto Santamaria-Pang, Raghav Krishna Padmanabhan

  • Platelet activation using long electric field pulses
    Patent number: 9078862
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure relate to platelet activation and/or aggregation using electric pulses. In one embodiment, a platelet-containing sample is exposed to electric pulses. At least one of the electric pulses has a duration greater than 1 microsecond and a field strength below 50 kV/cm. In another embodiment, the electric pulses may be designed with particular field strengths and durations.
