Publication number: 20240156125Abstract: The invention relates to a process and a system for producing a textured edible protein product derived from insect larvae or worms. The process comprises a) reducing the insect larvae or worms in size to obtain a pulp, b) mixing the pulp with a hydrocolloid that gelates with metal cations in aqueous solution to form a protein-hydrocolloid slurry, and c) injecting the protein-hydrocolloid slurry into an aqueous solution of a metal cation with a valency of at least 2 to form the textured edible protein product. In step c) the protein-hydrocolloid slurry is jetted under pressure from outside of the aqueous solution of a metal cation with a valency of at least 2 into the aqueous solution at an oblique angle with respect to a liquid surface of the aqueous solution, thereby producing flakes of the textured edible protein product in the aqueous solution, in which flakes substantially all hydrocolloid has been gelated with the metal cations.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 31, 2022Publication date: May 16, 2024Applicant: YNSECT NL B.V.Inventors: Selke HAGEMANS, Jan Jordan AALBERS, Guus PETERS, Jonkheer Theodoor Hendrik VAN DE POLL, Paul Sjerp ZANEN, Coen Willem D'ANCONA

Publication number: 20220378395Abstract: A method and system for detecting the presence or absence of a target or desired object within a three-dimensional (3D) image. The 3D image is processed to extract one or more 3D feature representations, each of which is then dimensionally reduced into one or more two-dimensional (2D) feature representations. An object detection process is then performed on the 2D features map(s) to generate information about at least the presence or absence of an object within the 2D feature representations, and thereby the overall 3D image.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 22, 2020Publication date: December 1, 2022Inventors: Hongxu YANG, Alexander Franciscus KOLEN, Caifeng SHAN, Peter Hendrik Nelis DE WITH

Publication number: 20210401407Abstract: Images may be preprocessed to select pixels or voxels of interest prior to being analyzed by a neural network. Only the pixels or voxels of interest may be analyzed by the neural network to identify an object of interest. One or more slices may be extracted from the voxels of interest and provided to the neural network for analysis. The object may be further localized after identification by the neural network. The preprocessing, analysis by the neural network, and/or localization may utilize pre-existing knowledge of the object to be identified.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 31, 2019Publication date: December 30, 2021Inventors: Hongxu YANG, Alexander Franciscus KOLEN, Caifeng SHAN, Peter Hendrik Nelis DE WITH

Patent number: 9282295Abstract: The invention relates to an imaging apparatus for imaging an object (3) being preferentially a catheter. A kinematics model (12) of a robot representing the object (3), which is defined by kinematics parameters, and projection data of the object (3), which correspond to different projection directions, are provided. The kinematics model (12) is modified by modifying the kinematics parameters such that a difference between simulated projection data, which are determined by simulating a forward projection of the kinematics model (12), and the provided projection data is minimized. Since the object (3) is represented by a kinematics model (12) of a robot, movements of the object (3), in particular, deformations of the object (3), can be described in a simple way by few kinematics parameters, thereby allowing modifying the model (12) and, thus, following a movement of the object fast by modifying the few kinematics parameters, in particular, in real-time.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2011Date of Patent: March 8, 2016Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Chrysi Papalazarou, Peter Maria Johannes Rongen, Peter Hendrik Nelis De With
