20100323445 | METHODS, APPARATUS AND SYSTEMS FOR PRODUCTION, COLLECTION, HANDLING, AND IMAGING OF TISSUE SECTIONS - Methods, apparatus and systems for collecting thin tissue samples for imaging. Thin tissue sections may be cut from tissue samples using a microtome-quality knife. In one example, tissue samples are mounted to a substrate that is rotated such that thin tissue sections are acquired via lathing. Collection of thin tissue sections may be facilitated by a conveyor belt. Thin tissue sections may be mounted to a thin substrate (e.g., by adhering thin tissue sections to a thin substrate via a roller mechanism) that may be imaged, for example, by an electron beam (e.g., in an electron microscope). This tissue sections may be strengthened before cutting via a blockface thinfilm deposition technique and/or a blockface taping technique. An automated reel-to-reel imaging technique may be employed for collected/mounted tissue sections to facilitate random-access imaging of tissue sections and maintaining a comprehensive library including a large volume of samples. | 12-23-2010 |

20140365863 | MULTI-PART AND SINGLE RESPONSE IMAGE PROTOCOL - This disclosure describes systems and methods for displaying images on a browser. When a user opens a page/slide in a web application, a web application client generates a unique identifier for each image on the page, combines the identifiers for each image in a URL, and forwards the URL to a web application server. The web application server then parses the request and follows the URL to render and/or fetch each requested image. The web server encodes the requested images, combines the encoded images in a response string, and returns the response string to the browser. The browser parses the response string to display the requested images and adds each encoded image to a content data model for the web application. In embodiments, the browser stores the response string in a browser cache for subsequent retrieval and display of one or more images. | 12-11-2014 |

20120323990 | EFFICIENT STATE RECONCILIATION - The embodiments described herein generally relate to methods and systems for using a token as a bi-directional parameter of a long polling request for state updates. A client polls a server for state updates, in which updates may be the result of a server event. Server state data is hashed to generate a token/hash representing the current state data. The server compares this token/hash to the token/hash received from the client in the polling request. If the tokens differ, the server sends the actual state data with the server token to the client. By using tokens as request parameters, unnecessary state updates are avoided, and client/server synchronization is achieved more quickly by restricting the pushing of data to state updates. Further, the client may force a response to a poll by sending an empty or random/default value for the token request parameter. | 12-20-2012 |

20100093022 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING AND PROCESSING SLICED THIN TISSUE - Methods and apparatus for providing and processing serial tissue sections. In one example, an “automatic tape collecting lathe ultramicrotome” (ATLUM) slices a block of tissue sample having various geometries into a continuous ribbon of thin tissue, or multiple thin tissue sections, and disposes the sliced thin tissue on an appropriate substrate to facilitate subsequent imaging of the sliced thin tissue. Closed-loop control of section thickness of the sliced thin tissue sections or ribbons is implemented to produce thinner sliced tissue sections or ribbons and tightly regulate thickness. Thin tissue sections or ribbons may be particularly processed/prepared to facilitate imaging with a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Collected thin tissue sections or ribbons may be used to create UltraThin Section Libraries (UTSLs) that allow for fully automated, time-efficient imaging in the SEM to facilitate expansive tissue studies. | 04-15-2010 |

20140026683 | METHODS, APPARATUSES AND SYSTEMS FOR COLLECTION OF TISSUE SECTIONS - Methods, apparatuses and systems for facilitating automated or semi-automated collection of tissue samples cut by a microtome. In one example, a collection apparatus may be moved back and forth between respective positions at which the collection apparatus is operatively coupled to a microtome so as to collect cut tissue samples, or routine access to the microtome is provided. Relatively easy movement and positioning of the collection apparatus is facilitated, while at the same time ensuring structural stability and appropriate alignment and/or isolation between the collection apparatus and the microtome. A fluid reservoir receives samples cut by the microtome, and the collection apparatus may collect samples via a conveyor-like substrate disposed near/in the reservoir. A linear movement of the substrate may be controlled based on a cutting rate of the microtome, and the fluid level in the reservoir may be automatically maintained to facilitate effective sample collection. | 01-30-2014 |
