Publication number: 20240144482Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 1, 2023Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: Peter Lais, Shawn Mishra, Yu Bai, Gurinder S.

Patent number: 10130262Abstract: A camera head of a dental camera for detecting caries in an interdental space has an illuminating device for illuminating a tooth adjacent to the interdental space, which includes an infrared light source. The camera head further includes optics which have an image plane and an object plane, wherein an image sensor is located in the image plane, and the object plane divides the space into two half spaces, wherein a first half space contains the optics and is located in front of the object plane, and a second half space is located behind the object plane, both as seen from the optics. The illuminating device and the optics are designed and arranged with respect to one another in such a way that the illuminating device is arranged in the first half space and infrared light exiting the illuminating device is aimed in the direction of the second half space.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2014Date of Patent: November 20, 2018Assignee: Dürr Dental AGInventors: Herbert Gebhardt, Peter Lais, Raimund Maier

Patent number: 9576386Abstract: Architecture that enhances the visual experience of a slide presentation by animating slide content as “actors” in the same background “scene”. This is provided by multi-layered transitions between slides, where a slide is first separated into “layers” (e.g., with a level of transparency). Each layer can then be transitioned independently. All layers are composited together to accomplish the end effect. The layers can comprise one or more content layers, and a background layer. The background layer can further be separated into a background graphics layer and a background fill layer. The transition phase can include a transition effect such as a fade, a wipe, a dissolve effect, and other desired effects. To provide the continuity and uniformity of presentation the content on the same background scene, a transition effect is not applied to the background layer.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2014Date of Patent: February 21, 2017Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Jason Zhao, Mark Pearson, Peter Lai
