Patent
Biological growth plate scanner
TL;DR: In this article, a monochromatic image capture device captures images of the biological growth plate during illumination of the growth plate with each of the illumination colors, and a processor combines the images to form a composite multi-color image, and/or individual components of the composite image.
Patent
Biological growth plate scanner with automated intake
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a biological scanner for scanning biological growth plates, where the biological growth plate is loaded into the scanner via motorized rollers and an actuator presses the growth plate against a platen once the plate is drawn to a scanning position within the scanner.
Patent
Algae growth system
TL;DR: In this paper, a bioreactor system for growing a photosynthetic culture in an aqueous liquid and harvesting the photoynthetic cultures is described, and a harvester system arranged to collect at least part of the scooped photosynthesized culture in a photo bioreactors system is described.
Patent
Back side plate illumination for biological growth plate scanner
TL;DR: In this paper, a monochromatic image capture device captures images of the biological growth plate during illumination of the growth plate with each of the illumination colors, and a processor combines the images to form a composite multi-color image, and/or individual components of the composite image.
Patent
Biological growth plate scanner with automated image processing profile selection
TL;DR: In this article, a biological scanner automatically identifies the type of plate to be scanned by the scanner and then selects one of the image processing profiles appropriate for the identified plate type, such as color, shape, size and proximity criteria in counting different types of bacterial colonies.
