International Classification:

G06T 7/00
G06T 7/11

Abstract:

Embodiments described herein use deep learning to automate measurement of key morphokinetic embryo features associated with viability and quality, in particular those relevant for clinical in-vitro fertilization (IVF). Systems and methods may, for example, acquire one or more digital images of one or more embryos; select one or more embryos in each digital image; and for each selected embryo, (i) computationally characterize the zona pellucida, detect the degree of fragmentation in the embryo, and for each embryo with a low fragmentation score, computationally classify the embryo's developmental stage based on whether cells constituting the embryo exceed a threshold number (e.g., nine). For an embryo consisting of a single cell, pronuclei may be detected and counted. Based on these measurements, a viability score may be assigned to the embryo.

International Classification:

B65D 85/62
B65D 5/50
B65D 5/42

Abstract:

A planter packaging arrangement is disclosed that comprises a packaging element and at least one planter mounter therein. The packaging element includes a bottom surface, a top surface and two pairs of opposing side walls collectively defining a generally enclosed space. A first opening is defined through the top surface and aligned with a second opening defined through the bottom surface of the packaging element. The at least one planter is mounted within the packaging element, with an open top end disposed within the enclosed space of the packaging element. The second opening is aligned with the open top end such that an interior of the planter is accessible through the second opening of the bottom surface of the packaging element. A portion of the body portion extends through the first opening of the top surface of the packaging element such that the bottom surface is disposed above the top surface.
