Patent number: 11893731Abstract: Systems and methods described herein relate, among other things, to unmixing more than three stains, while preserving the biological constraints of the biomarkers. Unlimited numbers of markers may be unmixed from a limited-channel image, such as an RGB image, without adding any mathematical complicity to the model. Known co-localization information of different biomarkers within the same tissue section enables defining fixed upper bounds for the number of stains at one pixel. A group sparsity model may be leveraged to explicitly model the fractions of stain contributions from the co-localized biomarkers into one group to yield a least squares solution within the group. A sparse solution may be obtained among the groups to ensure that only a small number of groups with a total number of stains being less than the upper bound are activated.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2021Date of Patent: February 6, 2024Assignee: Ventana Medical Systems, Inc.Inventors: Srinivas Chukka, Ting Chen

Patent number: 11891309Abstract: A method of controlling cooling water treatment at a cooling tower may involve measuring operating data of one or more downstream heat exchangers that receive cooling water from the cooling tower. For example, the inlet and outlet temperatures of both the hot and cold streams of a downstream heat exchanger may be measured, optionally along with a flow rate of the cooling water stream passing through the heat exchanger. Data from the streams passing through the heat exchanger may be used to determine a heat transfer efficiency for the heat exchanger. The heat transfer efficiency can be trended over a period of time and changes in the trend detected to identify cooling water fouling issues. A chemical additive selected to reduce, eliminate, or otherwise control the cooling water fouling can be controlled based on the changes in heat transfer efficiency detected at the downstream heat exchanger.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2018Date of Patent: February 6, 2024Assignee: Ecolab USA Inc.Inventors: Anupam Prakash, Stephen J. Hinterlong, Hung-Ting Chen, Craig Myers, Walter H. Goodman, Daniel Meier

Publication number: 20240027009Abstract: A quick coupling set includes a socket and a mating plug. The socket has a rotation-restraining structure while the mating plug has a mating rotation-restraining structure. In the coupling of the socket and the mating plug, the rotation-restraining structure of the socket only allow the rotation-restraining structure of the mating plug to relatively rotate in a rotation direction, so as to complete the coupling of the socket and the mating plug. Other plugs which do not match the socket lack of a rotation-restraining structure matching that of the socket, and cannot relatively rotate in the rotation direction with respect to the socket and cannot achieve any coupling with the socket, which results in the socket and the mating plug being protected against misconnection.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 21, 2022Publication date: January 25, 2024Applicant: Wistron CorporationInventors: Jui-An Chiu, Hsin-Tzu Chen, Wei-Ting Chen
