    摘要: A disinfection system for disinfecting an object using ultraviolet radiation, including a conveyor assembly operable to carry the object along a path, the path defining a conveying plane; a support frame supporting the conveyor assembly, the support frame including a housing covering at least a portion of the path; an ultraviolet radiation system mounted to the support frame and operable to irradiate the object with ultraviolet radiation from at least two independent positions as the object is carried along the path within the housing, the at least two independent positions including a first position adjacent a first side of the conveying plane and a second position adjacent a second side of the conveying plane across the conveying plane from the first side.

    摘要: Methods and systems for collecting cells on a filter disposed in a specimen fluid containing suspended cells of a biological specimen. A short vacuum pulse is applied across a filter to sip specimen fluid. A percentage or portion of the filter surface area covered by cells is determined is representative of or correlates to the density of cells in the specimen fluid. A maximum vacuum amplitude and/or duration are determined utilizing the determined filter coverage. A longer, continuous vacuum or slurp is applied across the filter to collect cells on the filter while limiting the amplitude and/or duration of the slurp based at least in part upon the determined maximum vacuum amplitude and/or duration.

    摘要: Method and system for imaging and analyzing a biological specimen on a specimen carrier, such as a slide. One or more imagers acquire images of a biological specimen on a slide and generate electronic image data. One or more analysis computers, such as a cluster of analysis computers, are connected to the imagers through a network and process the electronic image data. The number of analysis computers can be different than the number of imagers, and analysis computers can be located remotely from the imagers. The results of processing by the analysis computers are stored to a database, which is accessible by one or more review stations.

    摘要: The present invention provides various pharmaceutically active topical delivery compositions. In particular, compositions of the present invention are present in a pressurized container comprising a quick-breaking alcoholic foaming agent, such that when the composition is released, i.e., dispensed, from the pressurized container, a quick-breaking temperature sensitive foam is formed. In addition, the present invention provides various aspects related to such compositions, including methods for modulating a foam characteristic, methods for improving the shelf-life of a pharmaceutically active compound, methods for the percutaneous treatment of various diseases, infections, and illnesses, and methods for evaluating foam characteristics.

    摘要: First and second images of respective portions of a cytological specimen are acquired at different brightness levels. Sections of the respective first image are selected and combined with selected sections of the second image of each portion to form a composite image, so that non-nuclei cytological components that would otherwise appear dark in a single exposure image are brighter in the composite image.

    摘要: An automated slide imaging system includes an imager for acquiring images of a specimen slide mounted on a slide stage movable relative to the imager; and an image processing system configured to process the acquired images and identify objects of interest on the slide. The image processing system is configured to identify one or more types of errors associated with each slide, which may relate to the respective specimen and/or to the preparation and/or imaging of the slide. The system comprises at least one marker in operative association with the image processing system for applying one or more human-readable marks to slides having one or more associated errors, or to slides having no errors, or both.
