US Classification:

700028000, 700047000, 700096000, 700108000

Abstract:

An integrated multi-step computer-implemented system and method for measuring and improving manufacturing processes and maximizing product research and development speed and efficiency is disclosed. The system includes a predictive model that predicts output from data input, an optimizer that optimizes input variables based upon desired output variables, and a library that stores data and information. The system further includes an artificial intelligence that receives requests and information from manufacturers and customers, and directs the requests and information to the predictive model if an output prediction is requested, to the optimizer if an optimized input is requested, or to the library if the requests cannot be answered by the predictive model or optimizer. The predictive model, the optimizer, and the library all interconnect with the artificial intelligence. The system further includes a high-throughput screening system that analyzes various material combinations and sends data to the library.

Appl. No.:

11/666027

Inventors:

Peter E. Rising - Brightwaters NY, US
Brian H. Rutledge - Eldersburg MD, US
James L. Robinson - Macon GA, US

International Classification:

C12Q 1/04

US Classification:

435 34

Abstract:

A method for testing for presence of a microbe in a sample includes measuring an instantaneous transmission rate of two or more wavelengths through the sample (), providing predetermined transmission rates corresponding to positive or negative samples for the presence of the microbe for each of the two or more wavelengths, and determining a probability of the presence of the microbe based on the instantaneous transmission rate for each of the two or more wavelengths through the sample by comparing the instantaneous transmission rate to the predetermined transmission rates ().
