[0063] In this embodiment, the real-time analysis and prediction module is used to obtain the environmental parameters of the brain bank and analyze the change trend of the environmental parameters. The steps of predicting the environmental state in the future period of time according to the change trend obtained by analysis are as follows:

[0067] According to the characteristics of environmental parameters and forecasting requirements, the ARIMA model is used to train the forecasting model using historical data, and the forecasting accuracy and stability of the model are evaluated using methods such as cross-validation. The expression is: Among them, MSE represents the mean square error, which is used to evaluate the prediction accuracy of the model, y i Indicates the actual value, represents the predicted value;

[0068] The latest environmental parameter data is input into the trained prediction model. The model calculates the predicted value of the environmental state in the future based on the input data and evaluates the prediction results.

By acquiring temperature, humidity, light, air quality and other data in real time and transmitting them to the central processing unit or cloud server, abnormal conditions in the environment can be identified in time and alarms can be issued to ensure that environmental parameters are always within the preset range. At the same time, the ARIMA model is used for prediction. Through historical data training and cross-validation evaluation, the accuracy and stability of the prediction are ensured, so that managers can predict future environmental changes in advance, take preventive measures, optimize storage conditions, and ensure the safety and stability of brain tissue samples.

[0069] In this embodiment, the steps for processing and analyzing the photoacoustic and thermoacoustic imaging monitoring data and extracting key information of the internal structure changes of the sample are:

[0070] Derive the time series signal from the photoacoustic or thermoacoustic imaging device, analyze the waveform, amplitude, phase and other time domain characteristics of the time series signal, and identify the key events or changes in the signal. The expression is: Where, Δs i (t) represents the signal s i (t) rate of change, ds i (t) is the overall shape of the signal waveform. By analyzing Δs i The peak or mutation point of (t) can be used to identify key events or change points.

[0071] Calculate the statistical parameters of the signal and perform Fourier transform on the signal to analyze the spectral components and frequency distribution characteristics of the signal;

[0072] Wavelet transform is used to perform multi-scale analysis on the signal to extract characteristic information at different time scales and frequency scales;

[0073] Using the physical principles of photoacoustic or thermoacoustic imaging, appropriate back-projection algorithms are used to convert the signal into a two-dimensional or three-dimensional image;

[0074] Measure the size, shape, position and other parameters of key areas in the image, then conduct quantitative analysis and compare the measurement results at different time points or under different conditions to evaluate the changes in the internal structure of the sample. Finally, analyze the causes and mechanisms of the changes and adjust the storage environment. The non-destructive tissue health monitoring module uses photoacoustic and thermoacoustic imaging technology to monitor the internal structural changes of brain tissue samples in real time without destroying the samples. This non-destructive testing method ensures the integrity and quality of the samples, and at the same time provides high-precision data support by deriving time series signals, analyzing time domain features such as waveforms, amplitudes and phases, identifying key events and change points. Combining Fourier transform and wavelet transform for frequency domain and multi-scale analysis can extract rich feature information, reconstruct two-dimensional or three-dimensional images using back-projection algorithms, accurately measure the size, shape and position of samples, evaluate the internal changes of samples, provide reliable data support for scientific research, and improve the accuracy and efficiency of sample management.

[0075] In this embodiment, the following steps are performed when a sample is stored:

[0076] Assign a unique QR code to each sample as an identification mark and affix a barcode or QR code label to the sample container;

[0077] When entering the warehouse, use a barcode scanner to scan the QR code of the sample and select the sample information;

[0078] Record the current time as the sample's storage time and associate it with the sample's unique identifier;

[0079] Automatically assign storage locations based on sample type and collection time. Record the assigned storage location information and associate it with the sample's unique identifier.

[0080] When a sample enters the warehouse, the system automatically records the entry time and associates it with the sample's unique identifier; the system automatically allocates and records the storage location based on the preset storage rules;

[0081] The following steps are performed when the sample is shipped out of the library:

[0082] Submit a sample shipment application through the system, specifying the samples and quantity to be shipped;

[0083] Verify whether the sample has been put into storage and whether the quantity is sufficient. If it meets the standards, use a barcode scanner to scan the QR code of the sample to trigger the outbound process;

[0084] When the sample is shipped out, the current time is automatically recorded as the sample's shipping time, and the sample's inventory status is updated;

[0085] Check whether the detailed information of the sample leaving the warehouse is consistent with the system records. After completing the outbound operation, confirm the outbound operation in the system. By assigning a unique QR code to each sample and recording the detailed entry time and storage location information when the sample enters the warehouse, the full life cycle management and accurate tracking of the sample are achieved. The automated code scanning process not only reduces human errors, but also improves work efficiency and data accuracy. The system automatically records the operation time and updates the inventory status when the sample enters and leaves the warehouse, ensuring real-time updating and accurate tracking of sample information. When leaving the warehouse, the inventory status and detailed information of the sample are verified by the system to ensure the accuracy of the outbound operation. This automated and precise management method greatly improves the efficiency and reliability of sample management and ensures the safety and traceability of samples during storage and use.

[0086] The present embodiment also includes a control module, which is used to receive the signal generated by the multi-parameter comprehensive control module. The multi-parameter comprehensive control module needs to perform the following steps to send the signal to the control module:

[0087] Enter the preset storage condition parameters and set the ideal working state parameters of the equipment under different storage conditions;

[0088] Compare and analyze the acquired real-time data with the preset storage conditions to determine whether the current storage environment meets the requirements;

[0089] Based on the results of the comparative analysis, the control module makes a logical judgment to determine whether the working state of the equipment needs to be adjusted. If adjustment is required, the control module makes a specific adjustment decision based on the preset equipment working parameters and current real-time data;

[0090] According to the adjustment decision, the control module outputs the corresponding control signal to the actuator. After receiving the control signal, the actuator automatically performs the corresponding adjustment operation. By receiving the signal sent by the multi-parameter comprehensive control module, intelligent control and automatic adjustment of the storage device are realized. According to the comparative analysis of the preset storage condition parameters and real-time data, the control module can quickly determine whether the storage environment meets the requirements and automatically adjust the working state of the equipment when necessary. Through logical judgment and specific adjustment decisions, the control module can output the corresponding control signal to the actuator to ensure that the equipment operates in the best state. This intelligent control method not only improves the operating efficiency and stability of the equipment, but also can respond to environmental changes in a timely manner, reduce the impact of poor storage conditions on samples, and ensure the safety and quality of samples.

[0091] Furthermore, the non-destructive tissue health monitoring module uses advanced photoacoustic and thermoacoustic imaging technologies to monitor the internal structural changes of brain tissue samples in real time without destroying the samples. This not only ensures the integrity and quality of the samples, but also detects and handles abnormal situations in a timely manner, thereby improving the research value and storage security of the samples. At the same time, the real-time analysis and prediction module obtains the environmental parameters of the brain bank, uses statistical analysis and prediction models to analyze the changing trends of the environmental parameters, and predicts the future environmental status based on the analysis results. In this way, the system can identify and prevent potential risks in advance, achieve precise control and optimization of the environment, ensure that the samples are stored under optimal conditions, and improve the stability and reliability of the storage system. By combining the two major modules of non-destructive tissue health monitoring and real-time analysis and prediction, the present invention not only makes breakthroughs in real-time monitoring and environmental control of samples, but also achieves innovation in the automation, precision and efficiency of sample management.

[0092] Example 1: On a typical workday, a new batch of brain tissue samples arrives at the research institute. These samples are immediately transferred to the brain bank for storage after being obtained from surgery.

[0093] First, the staff assigns a unique QR code to each newly arrived brain tissue sample as an identification mark and affixes the QR code label to the sample container. When entering the warehouse, the staff uses a barcode scanner to scan the QR code of each sample. The system automatically records the sample's entry time and automatically allocates a suitable storage location based on the sample type and collection time.

[0094] Once the sample is stored in the freezer, the real-time analysis and prediction module immediately begins to acquire and monitor various parameters of the storage environment, such as temperature, humidity, light, and air quality. Sensor data is continuously transmitted to the central processing unit, and the system uses statistical analysis methods to analyze the changing trends of these data in real time. For example, if the system detects that the temperature in the freezer has an upward trend in a short period of time, it will predict that the temperature may rise further in the future through ARIMA model analysis. Based on the prediction results, the system automatically adjusts the working status of the refrigeration equipment, increases the cooling effect, and ensures that the temperature remains within the optimal range for sample preservation.

[0095] During long-term storage of samples, the non-destructive tissue health monitoring module regularly scans the samples using photoacoustic and thermoacoustic imaging techniques to generate real-time images of the internal structure of the samples. The system analyzes these images to identify any minor changes or abnormalities inside the samples. For example, during a routine scan, if the system detects an abnormal change in the internal structure of a sample, the monitoring module will immediately issue an alarm to notify staff to check. Subsequently, the staff discovered that the sample was affected by a brief temperature fluctuation in the freezer. To prevent further damage, the sample was immediately transferred to a backup freezer and the temperature control strategy of the original freezer was adjusted.

[0096] In addition, to ensure the accuracy of monitoring data, the environmental parameter calibration unit regularly calibrates all sensors. During one calibration process, the system found that the reading of a humidity sensor deviated from the normal value and automatically issued a warning. After receiving the notification, the staff calibrated and tested the sensor to restore its normal working state to ensure the reliability of the data.

[0097] In emergencies, the system's emergency mechanism can also play a key role. One day, there was a sudden power outage in the area where the brain bank was located, and the backup power system immediately started automatically to ensure the continuous operation of the refrigeration equipment. At the same time, the temperature monitoring system detected a rise in the temperature of the freezer, and the system automatically notified the administrator. After receiving the notification, the administrator quickly rushed to the site to check the operating status of all equipment to ensure the normal operation of the backup power supply and the safety of the samples.

[0098] A few months later, a research project requires the use of specific brain tissue samples. After the researchers submit a request for outbound delivery in the system, the system automatically verifies the inventory status and quantity of the samples. After confirmation, the staff uses a barcode scanner to scan the QR code of the sample and record the outbound delivery time. Finally, the staff checks whether the sample information is consistent with the system record. After completing the outbound delivery operation, the system automatically updates the inventory status of the sample. This seamless sample management process ensures the safe and efficient use of samples throughout the entire storage cycle.

[0099] The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments. Anyone should be aware that any structural changes made under the enlightenment of the present invention, and any technical solutions that are the same or similar to the present invention, fall within the protection scope of the present invention. The technology, shape, and structural parts not described in detail in the present invention are all well-known technologies.
