  • Publication number: 20220405317
    Abstract: A remote control device for controlling devices in an environment can utilize an environment map and location information to accurately determine an intended device to provide control for multiple devices in an environment. The environment mapping can be performed using the remote control device including a plurality of sensors. A spatial map can be generated for an environment along with location information for controllable devices within the environment. The spatial map and location information can be stored on the remote control device. The mapping can allow the remote control device to quickly group devices or drag and drop content from one type of device to another type of device. The remote control device can perform search queries based on combinations of image and audio data in some examples.

  • Patent number: 11506593
    Abstract: Methods for classifying fluorescent flow cytometer data are provided. In some instances, methods include processing the flow cytometer data with a supervised algorithm configured to cluster the fluorescent flow cytometer data into distinct populations according to the relationship of data points to relevant threshold values. In embodiments, methods include determining a measure of spillover spreading by calculating spillover spreading coefficients and combining them in a spillover spreading matrix. In some embodiments, populations of fluorescent flow cytometer data are adjusted to subtract the magnitude of spillover spreading. In embodiments, spillover spreading adjusted populations are partitioned after potential partitions are evaluated relative to the threshold values. In embodiments, partitioned populations of fluorescent flow cytometer data are classified (i.e., phenotyped) according to a hierarchy. Systems and computer-readable media for classifying fluorescent flow cytometer data are also provided.
