  • Publication number: 20230393380
    Abstract: A system and method for analyzing bodily fluid include a sample holder holding a bodily fluid sample, an image capture device generating an image of the bodily fluid sample comprising a plurality of fields of view. An image processor is programmed to determine a biofilm in the bodily fluid sample from the image, determine a biofilm area or volume within each of the plurality of fields of view to form a plurality of biofilm areas, determine a total biofilm area or total biofilm volume by adding the plurality of biofilm areas, determine a first value corresponding to a comparison of the total biofilm area or the total biofilm volume and a total volume of the bodily fluid sample, and classify the first value into a classification. An analyzer, using the classification, displays an indicator on a display for indicating the classification of the biofilm within the bodily fluid sample.

  • Publication number: 20200193596
    Abstract: A system and method for determining types of objects within a bodily fluid sample includes a sample holder holding a bodily fluid sample, an image capture device generating a plurality of images of the sample, and a sample positioner positioning the sample holder. An image capture device generates a plurality of images of the sample at a plurality of positions. A trained image classifier the plurality of images at a trained image classifier to identify a type of objects in the bodily fluid sample. An analyzer, that in response to classifying, displays an indicator on a display for indicating the type of objects is present within the bodily fluid sample.

  • Patent number: 9785707
    Abstract: A system and method for processing audio text files includes a content repository storing audio text files. A text transformer linguistically analyzes the audio text files within a content of multiple lexicons to form edited text results and creates a reflection repository having reflection files therein corresponding to the audio text files from the edited text results. A search engine searches the reflection files and a user device displays a first reflection file from the reflection files or a first audio text file from the audio files in response to searching.
