Method for Determining a Probability of a Bone Disease in a Patient
This invention is a method for estimating the probability that a patient has a bone disease, using a two-stage artificial neural network approach. In a training phase, a first neural network is trained on a large image dataset, and its learned parameters are then transferred to a second neural network — a technique known as transfer learning. The second network is fine-tuned on a more specific bone-disease image dataset and then deployed in a clinical examination phase. During examination, skeletal imaging data from a patient is fed into the second trained model, which outputs a probability score indicating the likelihood of the patient having the bone disease.
Method for Performing an Electron Beam Examination of at Least One Specimen and Carrier for Such a Method
This invention describes a method for performing electron beam examination (such as transmission electron microscopy) of at least one specimen prepared from a sample. A specially designed carrier is used that initially has a short-circuit bridge spanning a carrier-material-free (open) area. Before examination, this bridge is electrically interrupted to create a precise gap, separating it into two electrically isolated bridge parts. The prepared specimen is then electrically connected across these two bridge parts, and an electron beam is passed through both the specimen and the open area of the carrier for analysis.
Method for Controlling an Autonomous Robot System
This invention is a control method for an autonomous robotic surgery system that manages one or more robotic arms — some holding surgical instruments and others holding structure-recognition sensors. Before an operation begins, a central control unit receives and stores surgical plan data, converting it into robot instruction sets. During the operation, the system continuously collects real-time feedback from both the surgical instruments and the structure-recognition sensors, and automatically selects and adapts the appropriate pre-defined robot instructions on the fly to respond to what it detects in the patient's body.
