Abstract: A system and method may aggregate into a data structure property information from multiple databases, e.g., from all records included in those databases, and upon selection of any subject property or a characteristic thereof curates the often imperfect and discrepant property information to create suggested values. Similarly, the system and method may perform an on-the-fly evaluation of any characteristic of a selected record, when the property information for that characteristic includes an unlikely value, by triggering from the data structure a dynamic extraction of property information corresponding to a subject property of the selected record, where the dynamic extraction further generates and compares a suggested value to the unlikely value.

Abstract: Provided is a liquid handling device for use in a liquid handling system including a plurality of the liquid handling devices assembled in side-by-side relationship at a center-to-center spacing of X. The device includes a barrel, plunger, motive device and electronics assembled together in an envelope having a front portion including at least the barrel and plunger, and a rear portion including at least a portion of the electronics. The rear portion has a thickness greater than X but no greater than 2X, and the front portion has a thickness no greater than X and is laterally offset relative to a center plane of the envelope, whereby the liquid handling device can be assembled with another reversely oriented liquid handling device at a center-to-center spacing of X and a total combined width no greater than 2X.

Abstract: Performing automated appraisals with automatic detection and remediation of situations involving faulty characteristics is disclosed. Property information characteristics are extracted from properties listed on electronic appraisals. For a subject property, faulty characteristics include the absence of characteristics, or errors in characteristics. Such faulty characteristics are those that would cause an automated appraisal of the given property to be invalid or unsuitable. In response to the detection of faulty characteristics, interfaces may solicit input addressing the faulty characteristic and upon remediation indicate a clean and complete characteristic set. Thereafter, automated appraisal of the subject property based on the clean characteristic set is initiated to provide an automated valuation of the subject property.

Abstract: Automatically rendering a new valuation for a subject based on real-time property characteristic alterations or manipulations using a comparable selection model. A user alters one or more property characteristics for the subject and the comparable selection model determines a ranked listing of comparable properties for the subject in a given geographical area based on those alterations. The comparables are then displayed in a ranked order that reflects the alterations based on prior data point changes.

Abstract: A syringe and grid interface (10) provides for improved wear and performance characteristics by providing compliant contacts on the grid. Also disclosed is a grid (1) design that can provide continuous electrical contact between the grid and a syringe as the syringe is moved axially relative to the grid.
