  • Publication number: 20260140022
    Abstract: A sectioning system includes a chuck assembly configured to receive a tissue block, a cutting assembly configured to remove a tissue section from the tissue block, at least one sensor configured to sense data regarding dynamics of one or more components of at least one of the chuck assembly or the cutting assembly, and a control system. The control system is configured to receive data from the at least one sensor, determine whether the data from the at least one sensor shows normal behavior of the one or more components of at least one of the chuck assembly or the cutting assembly, and output a signal if it is determined the data from the at least one sensor does not show normal behavior of the one or more components.

  • Patent number: 12597356
    Abstract: One or more datalink labels are displayed on a shared panel of a user interface. The datalink labels are generated in response to receiving a datalink message from at least one ground station. Upon receiving a selection of the datalink label, one or more sub-panels that include information or a representation of the datalink message are displayed on the user interface. In some embodiments, the sub-panel includes a button that, when selected, automatically generates a response message. Utilizing datalink labels in conjunction with the shared panel simplifies datalink messaging and enables messaging functions to be completed on the same screen regardless of which application (or function of an application) is currently displayed on the user interface.

  • Publication number: 20260071942
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for facing a tissue block. In some embodiments, a method is provided for facing a tissue block that includes imaging a tissue block to generate imaging data of the tissue block, the tissue block comprising a tissue sample embedded in an embedding material, estimating, based on the imaging data, a depth profile of the tissue block, wherein the depth profile comprises a thickness of the embedding material to be removed to expose the tissue sample to a pre-determined criteria, and removing the thickness of the embedding material to expose the tissue to the pre-determined criteria.

  • Patent number: 12537740
    Abstract: The techniques described herein are directed to automatically configuring a wireless device (e.g., an extender or other type of CPE) to connect with and communicate with a wireless router without utilizing any in-line user pairing or input. The techniques include detecting the presence of a wireless device, determining that the wireless device is expected based on stored information (which may have been provisioned into the router), and configuring, based on the determination and the stored information, the router and/or the wireless device to communicate with each other. The router and/or the wireless device may validate the wireless device based on the stored information. A wireless device which has an established connection with the router may utilize the techniques described herein so that a chain of interconnected wireless devices may be automatically detected and auto-configured to provide wireless connectivity and service data delivery throughout a service location.

  • Patent number: 12475796
    Abstract: A method and system for determining and displaying a turn to a heading entry for an aircraft has been developed. First, a preliminary heading selection and a preliminary turn direction are entered into an automated flight control system (AFCS) for an aircraft. The preliminary heading selection and the preliminary turn direction are displayed to a pilot of the aircraft. A subsequent heading selection is entered into the AFCS while the aircraft is engaged in turning to the preliminary heading selection in the preliminary turn direction. A shortest turn radius to the subsequent heading selection is determined. A determination is made if the shortest turn radius to the subsequent heading selection is the same direction and the preliminary turn direction and a notice is displayed to the pilot of the aircraft is the shortest turn radius to the subsequent heading selection is not the same direction and the preliminary turn direction.

  • Patent number: 12462591
    Abstract: Examples herein include methods, systems, and computer program products for utilizing neural networks in ultrasound systems. The methods include processor(s) of a computing device obtaining an image that depicts cells. The processor(s) applies one or more nuclei detection algorithms to detect nuclear aspects in the image. The processor(s) generates a nuclear segmentation map. The processor(s) utilizes the nuclear segmentation map to identify one or more regions of interest in the image. The processor(s) generates a classification result by automatically determining a cell type for each cell in a region of interest of the regions of interest.
