  • Publication number: 20230419444
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for feedback on and improving the accuracy of super-resolution imaging. In some embodiments, a low resolution image of a specimen can be obtained using a low resolution objective of a microscopy inspection system. A super-resolution image of at least a portion of the specimen can be generated from the low resolution image of the specimen using a super-resolution image simulation. Subsequently, an accuracy assessment of the super-resolution image can be identified based on one or more degrees of equivalence between the super-resolution image and one or more actually scanned high resolution images of at least a portion of one or more related specimens identified using a simulated image classifier. Based on the accuracy assessment of the super-resolution image, it can be determined whether to further process the super-resolution image. The super-resolution image can be further processed if it is determined to further process the super-resolution image.

    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosed technology provide a computational model that utilizes machine learning for detecting errors during a manual assembly process and determining a sequence of steps to complete the manual assembly process in order to mitigate the detected errors. In some implementations, the disclosed technology evaluates a target object at a step of an assembly process where an error is detected to a nominal object to obtain a comparison. Based on this comparison, a sequence of steps for completion of the assembly process of the target object is obtained. The assembly instructions for creating the target object are adjusted based on this sequence of steps.

  • Publication number: 20230359730
    Abstract: A system including a deep learning processor receives one or more control signals from one or more of a factory's process, equipment and control (P/E/C) systems during a manufacturing process. The processor generates expected response data and expected behavioral pattern data for the control signals. The processor receives production response data from the one or more of the factory's P/E/C systems and generates production behavioral pattern data for the production response data. The process compares at least one of: the production response data to the expected response data, and the production behavioral pattern data to the expected behavioral pattern data to detect anomalous activity. As a result of detecting anomalous activity, the processor performs one or more operations to provide notice or cause one or more of the factory's P/E/C systems to address the anomalous activity.

  • Patent number: 11796785
    Abstract: An automatic focus system for an optical microscope that facilitates faster focusing by using at least two offset focusing cameras. Each offset focusing camera can be positioned on a different side of an image forming conjugate plane so that their sharpness curves intersect at the image forming conjugate plane. Focus of a specimen can be adjusted by using sharpness values determined from images taken by the offset focusing cameras.

  • Publication number: 20230296872
    Abstract: A fluorescence microscopy inspection system includes light sources able to emit light that causes a specimen to fluoresce and light that does not cause a specimen to fluoresce. The emitted light is directed through one or more filters and objective channels towards a specimen. A ring of lights projects light at the specimen at an oblique angle through a darkfield channel. One of the filters may modify the light to match a predetermined bandgap energy associated with the specimen and another filter may filter wavelengths of light reflected from the specimen and to a camera. The camera may produce an image from the received light and specimen classification and feature analysis may be performed on the image.

  • Publication number: 20230297668
    Abstract: A controller emulator, coupled to an interface that exposes the controller emulator to inputs from external sources, provides one or more control signals to a process simulator and a deep learning process. In response, the process simulator simulates response data that is provided to the deep learning processor. The deep learning processor generates expected response data and expected behavioral pattern data for the one or more control signals, as well as actual behavioral pattern data for the simulated response data. A comparison of at least one of the simulated response data to the expected response data and the actual behavioral pattern data to the expected behavioral pattern data is performed to determine whether anomalous activity is detected. As a result of detecting anomalous activity, one or more operations are performed to address the anomalous activity.
