Patent number: 11593656Abstract: A convolutional neural network predicts which regions of a tissue slice would be stained by a first stain by training a model to identify those regions based only on tissue stained by a second stain. Thereafter the first stain need not be used to mark cancerous regions on other tissue slices that are stained with the second stain. The training slice is stained with a first immunohistochemical stain and a second counterstain. A target region of an image of the training slice is identified using image analysis based on the first stain. A set of parameters for associated mathematical operations are optimized to train the model to classify pixels of the image as belonging to the target region based on the second stain but not on the first stain. The trained parameters are stored in a database and applied to other images of tissue not stained with the first stain.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2018Date of Patent: February 28, 2023Assignee: AstraZeneca Computational Pathology GmbHInventors: Tobias Wiestler, Simon Lanzmich, Nicolas Brieu, Guenter Schmidt, Moritz Widmaier

Patent number: 11439467Abstract: A computer-aided pre-operative planning tool with interactive surgeon interface for total knee replacement implements a method that allows implant size selection, implant positioning, and surgical cut planes estimation (with construction of corresponding surgical jig), based upon a series of coronal, axial and sagittal image slices of a patient's leg. Limb alignment and corresponding surgical cut planes are defined based upon joint anatomical-matching analysis to minimize joint wear and restore a pre-arthritic alignment (rather than an always fully neutral alignment). Using the interface, a surgeon has the option to adjust the varus/valgus alignment within recommended bounds between the pre-arthritic and fully neutral alignments. Implant size may be selected based on a best fit to the patient's leg obtained from analysis of the images.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2019Date of Patent: September 13, 2022Assignee: LENTO MEDICAL, INC.Inventor: Ilwhan Park

Patent number: 11399763Abstract: Conduction velocity information for a cardiac region can be used to map the cardiac muscle fiber orientation of that region. In particular, for a plurality of locations within the cardiac region, a relationship between a local conduction velocity, a maximum local conduction velocity within the region, and a minimum local conduction velocity within the region is used to determine the cardiac muscle fiber orientation at the respective location. Even more particularly, when the local conduction velocity at the respective location equals the maximum local conduction velocity, the cardiac muscle fiber orientation is parallel to a direction of a conduction velocity vector at the respective location, and when the local conduction velocity at the respective location equals the minimum local conduction velocity, the cardiac muscle fiber orientation is perpendicular to a direction of a conduction velocity vector at the respective location.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 2019Date of Patent: August 2, 2022Assignee: St. Jude Medical, Cardiology Division, Inc.Inventor: Myles Honicker

Patent number: 11397769Abstract: A bipartite graph structure is utilized to better store data. The bipartite graph structure may be used in a biochemical database to efficiently store a variety of molecules and processes that might occur between the molecules. Molecules are represented as molecule nodes, which may have metadata fields including a molecule name, a molecule type, a molecular formula, a sequence, a molecular charge, a set of molecular properties, and a set of component molecules. Processes operating on the molecules are represented by process nodes, which may have metadata fields including a process name, a set of process roles, a set of process properties, and a set of sub-processes. Edges, called roles, each associate a molecule node with a process node and represent the role the associated molecule plays in the associated process. The roles may contain metadata identifying the role type and the stoichiometry coefficient of the molecule in the process.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2020Date of Patent: July 26, 2022Assignee: X Development LLCInventors: Jason Thompson, Frank Russo

Patent number: 11384350Abstract: Compositions and methods are provided for the cell-mediated targeted killing of diseased cells based on the presence of an intracellular antigen, rather than a surface-bound marker. The targeting cells are modified to express a cytotoxic protein that is delivered into a targeted cell, and after delivery is selectively activated by the presence of a cytoplasmic protein of interest. In one embodiment of the invention, the cytotoxic molecule is a Granzyme B (GrB) polypeptide. In the compositions of the invention, GrB is modified to render its cytotoxic enzymatic functions inactive, until the presence of an intracellular antigen unlocks the GrB molecule to enable enzymatic activities.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2015Date of Patent: July 12, 2022Assignee: The Regents of the University of CaliforniaInventors: Yvonne Y.
