Patent number: 12292464Abstract: A system for the automated validation of a semi-anechoic chamber (SAC) is disclosed. The system includes a receive assembly and a transmit assembly, each configured to autonomously relocate within the SAC. The system also includes a local client communicatively coupled to the transmit assembly. The local client is configured to send a validation arrangement to the transmit assembly describing a validation location and a distance. The transmit assembly is configured to receive the validation arrangement, move the transmit assembly to the validation location and send an instruction to the receive assembly, the instruction describing the distance. The receive assembly is communicatively coupled to the transmit assembly and configured to receive the instruction and move the receive assembly such that a separation between the transmit and receive assemblies is restored to the distance. Each validation arrangement corresponds to a validation point. A plurality of validation points defines a test volume.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2024Date of Patent: May 6, 2025Inventor: Phillip C. Miller

Patent number: 12214710Abstract: A deployable laboratory environment is disclosed, including a foundation having a movement corridor, and a first and second module that each have a longitudinal axis and a junction side, the junction sides each having at least one opening framed by an interface. The modules are rotatably coupled to the foundation through swivel joints, at least one of which is able to translate along the movement corridor. The modules are movable between travel, intermediate, and deployed configurations. The travel configuration includes the longitudinal axes and the movement corridor being substantially parallel, and the openings being covered. The intermediate configuration includes the longitudinal axes being substantially perpendicular to the movement corridor, the junction sides facing each other, and the openings uncovered.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2024Date of Patent: February 4, 2025Inventor: Phillip C.

Publication number: 20220389523Abstract: In general, the presently disclosed technology relates to identification of cancer subtypes. More specifically, the technology relates to methods for determining molecular drivers of cancer and/or progression using a multivariate image data and statistical analysis of in-situ molecular markers and morphological characteristics in the same cells of a biological sample suspected of b cancer. This analysis takes place after a single acquisition that obtains the molecular and anatomic morphology data in parallel. The analysis compares specific morphological and molecular markers to known samples exhibiting particular genetic drivers of the cancer. This method provides statistical information that allows for an increased confidence in the identification of specific molecular drivers of the cancer.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 5, 2022Publication date: December 8, 2022Inventors: Francesca Demichelis, Karl Garsha, Phillip C. Miller, Ray B. Nagle, Michael Otter, Gary Anthony Pestano, Mark Rubin
