  • Publication number: 20250384548
    Abstract: A method for processing an image of a sample. The method comprises receiving a 3D representation of the sample as an input, where the 3D representation comprising a plurality of input channels. The method further comprises segmenting the 3D representation 120 by segmenting and partitioning individual objects within the 3D representation. The method further comprises classifying the objects in the segmented 3D representation. The method further comprises deriving spatial information based on the classification of the objects. Deriving spatial information comprises performing a distance relation measurement between the objects. The method comprises at least one of analyzing the spatial information or triggering a visualization of the spatial information.

  • Publication number: 20250157232
    Abstract: A first aspect of this disclosure is related to a computer-implemented method for identifying neuronal patterns in an image, comprising the steps: obtaining a first data set with Golgi-stained neuronal structures; based on the first data set, determining a first auxiliary data set, AR1, based on a first type of neuronal structure and a second auxiliary data set, AR2, based on a second type of neuronal structure; analyzing AR1 with a first method to identify information related to the first type of neuronal structure in AR1; analyzing AR2 with a second method to identify information related to the second type of neuronal structure in AR2; generating a second data set with the identified information related to the first and second type of neuronal structures.

  • Patent number: 11274894
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an enhanced fire control system for firearms having semi-automatic firing mechanisms. The system comprises a primary trigger, a secondary trigger, and a trigger stop having a stop riser. The trigger stop's stop riser limits breaking a trigger sear interface between the primary trigger and the firearm's hammer. The system is intended to reduce the risk of a firearm being unintentionally discharged as a result of the trigger being contacted with straps or other equipment the user is carrying or wearing, or as a result of contact with something in the environment.

  • Patent number: 8208014
    Abstract: An advertising and promotion system including an electronic shopping cart display screen that provides wireless in-store advertising and promotions. In embodiments of the present invention, the advertising and promotion system includes a display unit attached to a shopping cart, a plurality of store-wide transceiver units, an audible alert component on the display unit for signaling receipt of information from the transceiver unit, a host computer for operating the advertising and promotion system, and a battery charger for powering the display unit. The display unit includes a liquid crystal display (“LCD”) panel for displaying animated graphic advertisements and other visual messages automatically exhibited in the proximity of a transceiver unit by a desired product display. The display unit may be interactive (i.e., capable of responding to user information requests and directions) or passive (i.e.

  • Publication number: 20070088671
    Abstract: An archival computer system for receiving digital documents from document source computers, archiving such digital documents, and providing the digital documents to client computer systems. The archival computer system is provided with a document database, a supplemental digital media database, a document input device, an archival computer, and a server. The document input device receives digital documents from the document source computers. The digital documents include non-pixalated, non-rastered digital documents, and supplemental media. The archival computer receives the digital documents, and archives data from the non-pixalated, non-rastered digital documents in the document database, and data from the supplemental media in the supplemental digital media database. The server, upon request, outputs a composite document including data stored in the document database and the supplemental digital media database.
