Purpose of the camera in our artificial intelligence platform is to take microscopic pictures and video of microbes, pathogens or viruses in an open and closed canister.
Purpose of the cantilever in our artificial intelligence platform is to have microbes and clusters of microbes enter and leave the canister to either be weighed, taken pictures of or both.
The purpose of the canister housing the camera and cantilever is to isolate microbes from other matter or forces for pictures and video. If the pictures and or video are inconclusive, the cantilever will be used to weigh the microbe.
There are four external doors to each canister, two in the front and two in the back that open and close on microbe entrance into canister using a vacuum or air bursts. Cleaning of microbes and foreign matter from inside the canister can either utilize vacuums, air bursts, continual air flow, steam or various cleaning solutions. The camera lens and the cantilever may need cleaning periodically during the detection process or once daily.
The two internal doors close automatically around the camera and beam to isolate the microbe from others when the beam or camera senses matter. Many calculations lead to many repetitive steps where doors may open and close many times per detection run. The two internal doors open when either the front or back doors are open.
The schematic view of the cantilever as shown in
The figure shows a canister “box” with hinges on the sides for opening and closing the doors. The doors open from the center and open to the left and right of the canister.
Front tip of fiber optic beam
Front view of black box base housing the lighting device (rear of box) and the fiber optic beam at the immediate front.
Wire harness on right hand side top.
Vacuum and air tubes.
Total of 9 vacuum and air tubes (horizontal with round holes) which air can either be sucked in via vacuum device (with microbes) or air can be blown in or pulsed to blown out (remove microbes and other unwanted matter) by compressed air container or similar device.
Microscopic camera or cameras are fixed right above beam in
Wire harness (top right) with vacuum and air tubes parallel feeding the horizontal air tubes (right of wire harness) with the middle two doors around the beam closed. The two black columns in the middle of diagram (perpendicular) are support struts holds the wires, beam base, the air tubes and the canister together. The support struts may also encase wires.
Fiber optic cable bending with microbe on end.
Figure A shows the left front internal door closed around the freely moving up and down beam
Figure B shows the right front internal door closed around the freely moving up and down beam
Figure C shows the front external door closed with the measuring stick affixed to the inside of door for beam measurement inflection.
To the right of figure C is the camera that takes microscopic video and pictures of microbes with flash.
The center black box is the base for holding the beam and lighting device for beam.
The black box outside of the canister on the left-hand side is the second base for beam and lighting device for heating and cooling if needed.
On the top and bottom of the right-hand side of base is the air and vacuums nozzles.
The top and bottom of canister container shows wire harnesses for the doors, camera, flash, air pressure and vacuum device and door hinges. The fiber optic cable is on a separate power source called the base.
The back part of the canister shows the vacuum and air pulse/burst tubes.
