  • Publication number: 20240144482
    Abstract: Technologies are provided for alignment of spatial transcriptome slides of biological tissue. The alignment of images and the coordinates of spots within transcriptome profiles of the biological tissue can utilize an alignment model that can be machine-learned and can receive both a displaced image to be aligned and a reference image as inputs. The alignment model may learn a diffeomorphic transformation between those images. Such a transformation can be readily applied to the alignment of the displaced image and to the alignment of the displaced coordinates of spots within the transcriptome profiles of transcriptome. In some cases, transcriptome data can be analyzed and cast in an image-like format, and can then be utilized as supplementary input to the alignment model. The alignment model can be trained in a tissue agnostic manner, such as by using synthetic images.

  • Publication number: 20240133791
    Abstract: Methods of assessing the suitability of a fluorochrome panel for use in a flow cytometric protocol analyzing a biological sample are provided. Methods of interest include, with a processor, receiving an initial fluorochrome panel, a plurality of population identifiers each referring to a particle population, and an instrument identifier. Methods additionally include, creating a set of population-marker pairs, generating a set of separability metrics each predicting a measure of statistical distance between particle populations in flow cytometer data space, aggregating the set of separability metrics into a panel score, and evaluating the panel score. Systems and non-transitory computer readable storage media for assessing the suitability of a fluorochrome panel for use in a flow cytometric protocol analyzing a biological sample are also provided.

  • Patent number: 11936700
    Abstract: A system for real-time video streaming for a vehicle includes a camera system configured to capture videos of an environment surrounding the vehicle. The system also includes a vehicle communication system configured to communicate with a remote server and a vehicle controller in electrical communication with the camera system and the vehicle communication system. The vehicle controller is programmed to determine a system enablement state. The vehicle controller is further programmed to determine a camera system configuration in response to determining that the system enablement state is a system enabled state. The vehicle controller is further programmed to capture at least one video frame using the camera system based at least in part on the camera system configuration. The vehicle controller is further programmed to transmit the at least one video frame to the remote server using the vehicle communication system.
