David Rhodes Parks has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 8731844
    Abstract: The invention provides a system and method for selecting an optimal multimarker reagent combination for the identification and/or quantification of molecules in or on cells with or without reference to fluorescence or other properties of at least one fluorescent dye or other instrument-measurable atom or molecule associated directly or indirectly with the reagent combination. The method includes specifying, using a computer, a plurality of markers to be detected by a plurality of reagents, generating, using a computer, a plurality of reagent combinations comprising the plurality of reagents to detect the plurality of markers, wherein the reagent combinations are ranked according to at least one user-defined or system-defined criterion, and selecting the optimal reagent combination or providing a rank-ordered list of combinations.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7650351
    Abstract: The present invention is related to databases and the exchange of scientific information. Specifically the invention disclosed a unified scientific database that allows researchers to easily share their data with other researches. The present invention also allows for the ease of data collection, annotation, storage, management, retrieval and analysis of scientific data through and into the database. In addition, it allows for archival storage and retrieval of data collected directly from laboratory instruments to ensure data consistency for patent and other purposes. It also allows for ease of sharing data between laboratories in remote locations. The present invention also supports the automated creation of experimental protocols.
