  • Patent number: 12228723
    Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for assessing a biological sample. The methods include: characterizing a speckled pattern to be applied by a diffuser; positioning a biological sample relative to at least one coherent light source such that at least one coherent light source illuminates the biological sample; diffusing light produced by the at least one coherent light source; capturing a plurality of illuminated images with the embedded speckle pattern of the biological sample based on the diffused light; iteratively reconstructing the plurality of speckled illuminated images of the biological sample to recover an image stack of reconstructed images; stitching together each image in the image stack to create a whole slide image, wherein each image of the image stack at least partially overlaps with a neighboring image; and identifying one or more features of the biological sample. The methods may be performed by a near-field Fourier Ptychographic system.

  • Patent number: 8822003
    Abstract: A component having a laser track as a fracture initiation line, said laser track being composed of laser holes formed by a laser beam for preparing for a later separation of the component into individual components. In order to ensure that, upon separation, the fracture always extends along the laser track, fractures deviating from the laser track are avoided, and the fracture edges after fracture are formed evenly and do not have jagged edges, it is proposed that the distance between two adjacent laser holes be less than or equal to the diameter of said laser holes, in each case measured on the surface of the component.

  • Patent number: 8622162
    Abstract: An engine compartment cooling system includes an axial fan assembly and a remote mount fluid cooler assembly. The axial fan assembly and the remote mount fluid cooler assemblies are mounted in clear holes in at least one of the quarter panels. The axial fan assembly exhausts engine heat outwardly from the engine compartment through the quarter panel. The fluid cooler assembly receives ambient air through the quarter panel into the engine compartment. The axial fan and fluid cooler assembles are controlled using, sensors, signal data, and a controller. The controller is programmed with the operation data so that the cooling system optimizes engine cooling while varying operation of the engine's cooling system, and the axial fan and the remote mount fluid cooler assemblies according to the invention.

  • Publication number: 20110139525
    Abstract: In combination with an engine compartment having an engine, a hood, and at least two front quarter panel side walls defining an interior engine compartment, an engine compartment cooling system, is provided which includes a clear hole in at least one of the side walls positioned between a passenger compartment and a forward portion of a fender wheel well. At least one axial fan assembly has a fan housing, a plurality of fan blades, a motor shaft, and a fan motor. The fan assembly is mounted in the clear hole. A fan motor control system is operatively connected to a first temperature sensor for sensing a temperature of the engine compartment, and sending a first signal data to a controller operable to optimize a fan speed of the fan assembly based on the temperature of the engine compartment. A heated air flow path originates from the engine compartment and is exhausted outwardly through the fan assembly into an ambient air flow for cooling of the engine compartment.
