  • Patent number: 11891609
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods for increasing observed editing rates in the surviving bacteria cells. The compositions and methods presented herein in combination lead to a phenomenon of “edit or die.” Although less cells survive plating and editing, a large percentage of cells that do survive are multiple editors. In one experiment it was found that if a cell survives transformation, plating, and editing, 75% of the surviving cells are multiple editors; that is, 75% of the surviving cells were simultaneously edited with edits at two or more different locations within the bacterial genome.

  • Publication number: 20240037825
    Abstract: A method for restoration of a kinetic event using video. The method includes obtaining video involving the kinetic event including a plurality of frames. An absolute location of a frame of the plurality of frames is determined. Movement of a feature point cloud corresponding to an object in motion in the plurality of frames is analyzed. A 3D object model with substantially similar dimensions to the object in motion is selected. The 3D object model is displayed emulating the analysed movement on the 3D map based on the absolute location.

  • Patent number: 11869257
    Abstract: A method for detecting and labeling a target object in a 2D image includes receiving a plurality of 2D images from a visual sensor, manually marking points of the target object on each of the 2D images, generating from the 2D images a 3D world coordinate system of the environment surrounding the target object, mapping each of the marked points on the 2D images to the 3D world coordinate system using a simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) engine, automatically generating a 3D bounding box covering all the marked points mapped to the 3D world coordinate system, mapping the 3D bounding box to each of the 2D images, generating a label for the target object on each of the 2D images using a machine learning object detection model, and training the machine learning object detection model based on the generated label for the target object.

  • Publication number: 20230266285
    Abstract: A novel analytical system and method to analyze complex carbohydrates such as human milk oligosaccharides by low-temperature High-Performance Anion Exchange Chromatography with Pulsed Amperometric Detection and High-resolution Mass Spectrometry (HPAE-PAD-MS). The analytical system controls the temperature of the column, electrochemical detector, and ion removal device at or below 15° C. The HPAE-PAD workflow with high-resolution mass spectrometry provides useful molecular structure information. It facilitates the detection of milk oligosaccharides, particularly unknown structures, without the use of analytical standards.

  • Publication number: 20230204517
    Abstract: An apparatus to detect optical flatness of an OLED display layer includes a light-emitting assembly, a light-receiving assembly, and an image processor. The light-emitting assembly includes a light source and a first enhancement element. The light source emits reference light through the first enhancement element. The first enhancement element enhances brightness of the reference light and guides the enhanced reference light to a display layer of a display device being detected. The light-receiving assembly receives light reflected by the display layer according to the reference light and generates an image thereof. The image processor receives the image and obtains a result of detection as to surface flatness of the display layer according to the image.
