Abstract:
A particle image in a sample is formed at an imaging position by an objective lens of a microscope, projected on the image picking up plane of a TV camera via a projection lens and is subjected to photo-electric conversion. Image signals from the TV camera are supplied to an image memory via an A/D converter as well as to an image processing control unit. Image signals outputted from the image memory are supplied to a characteristic picking out unit and there a plurality of characteristics of the particle concerned are picked out. The picked-out characteristics are supplied to the classification unit and there classification of the sediment components is perfumed via a neural network with a learning capability. Accordingly, the classification unit performs provisionally an automatic classification of the objective sediment components by making use of the inputted characteristic parameters. The device allows accurate and fast automatic component particle analysis even for patient specimens containing a variety of components in high concentration.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for sensing and classifying a condition of interest in a system from background noise in which a parameter representative of the condition of interest is sensed and an electrical signal representative of the sensed parameter is produced. The electrical signal is converted into a digital signal, this digital signal containing a signal of interest representative of the condition of interest and background noise. The digital signal is received by an artificial neural network which filters out the background noise to produce a filtered signal from the digital signal, and classifies the signal of interest from the filtered signal to produce an output representative of the classified signal.

Abstract:
In a coating evaluation device and a coating evaluation method, a coating surface is irradiated with incident light having a first intensity distribution, and a second intensity distribution of light reflected from the coating surface is acquired. Additionally, a third intensity distribution associated with the second intensity distribution is calculated based on shape information representing a curved shape of the coating surface, and an evaluation value that corresponds to the third intensity distribution is estimated by using an evaluation model that outputs a brilliance evaluation value pertaining to the coating surface in response to an input including the third intensity distribution. The curved shape of the coating surface is acquired based on measuring a coating surface or based on design data pertaining to the coating surface.
Abstract:
A spectroscopy and artificial intelligence-interaction serum analysis method includes: collecting bulk SERS spectral data of clinical serum samples, performing dimension reduction on the spectral data by using a covariance matrix to obtain spectral different peak positions of cancer patients and normal individuals, and performing spectral data processing and algorithm identification by using an svm model of an artificial intelligence algorithm to obtain a cancer identification rate. Compared with the conventional serum analysis method, the spectroscopy and artificial intelligence-interaction serum analysis method requires no antibody-antigen or other biological specificity modification processes, and the serum of cancer patients and normal individuals can be identified more cheaply, rapidly and accurately. Also the different peak positions in SERS spectra of a large amount of serum samples can be located, which provides an entirely novel detection and analysis method at a molecular bond energy level for the field of liquid biopsy of clinical cancers.
Abstract:
An example SPR detection system includes a first prism having a first surface adjacent to a first metal layer exposed to a sample gas, and a second prism having a second surface adjacent to a second metal layer exposed to a reference gas. At least one light source is configured to provide respective beams to the first and second surfaces, where each of the beams causes SPR of a respective one of the metal layers. At least one photodetector is configured to measure a reflection property of reflections of the respective beams from the metal layers during the SPR. A controller is configured to determine whether a target gas is present in the sample gas based on a known composition of the reference gas and at least one of an electrical property of the first and second metal layers during the SPR and the reflection property of the metal layers.
Abstract:
A movable camera travels along an inspection path for optically inspecting an inspection surface of an object for defect detection. In planning the inspection path, a set of viewpoints on the inspection surface is generated. Each viewpoint is associated with a patch, which is a largest area of the inspection surface within a field of view (FOV) of the camera when the camera is located over the viewpoint for capturing an image of FOV. An effective region of the patch is advantageously predicted by a neural network according to a three-dimensional geometric characterization of the patch such that the predicted effective region is valid for defect detection based on the captured image. A valid area is one whose corresponding area on the captured image is not blurred and is neither underexposed nor overexposed. The inspection path is determined according to respective effective regions associated with the set of viewpoints.
Abstract:
A method for deep learning video microscopy-based antimicrobial susceptibility testing of a bacterial strain in a sample by acquiring image sequences of individual bacterial cells of the bacterial strain in a subject sample before, during, and after exposure to each antibiotic at different concentrations. The image sequences are compressed into static images while preserving essential phenotypic features. Data representing the static images is input into a pre-trained deep learning (DL) model which generates output data; and antimicrobial susceptibility for the bacterial strain is determined from the output data.
