Abstract: A method for analyzing a multidimensional data set includes generating a multidimensional mass spectrometry data set from a sample; and generating an matrix representing the multidimensional mass spectrometry data set such that a first dimension and a second dimension of the multidimensional mass spectrometry data set correspond to a matrix cell location, and an ion intensity corresponds to a matrix cell value; and determining a class of the matrix from a plurality of matrix classes using a trained neural network matrix classifier.

Abstract: Various methods and systems for an orthodontic condition evaluation are provided. One embodiment includes providing an impression kit with an impression material, a number of impression trays, and instructions for making at least one impression, making an impression of a user's teeth, and scanning the impression of the user's teeth with a scanning device and providing scan data to a computing device having executable instructions to perform an evaluation process.

Abstract: A computer-based apparatus provides access to complex technical information needed, for example, to maintain and repair complicated equipment, such as a motor vehicle. The apparatus includes a combined user interface and main control module to communicate with at least one remotely operated instrumentation module to control and obtain data by wireless communication. The combined user interface and main control module has an interactive display which enables the user to command the functions of the remotely deployed instrumentation module(s) and enter data through interaction with the display, as well as executes diagnostic application programs and displays information to the user. Alternatively, a separate user interface module and main control module connected by wireless communication can be provided, in which the user interface module not only commands the functions of the instrumentation module(s), but also commands remote execution of diagnostic application programs by the main control module.

Abstract: The present invention provides an inexpensive, automobile test diagnostic system which is capable of processing data from multiple high speed data channels. The vehicle test diagnostic system include an integrated computer for providing access to a technical database comprised of stored information records, with migration capacity between related records, and further to provide selective access to particular portions of information within the database, the integrated computer including a user interface responsive to operation by a user to provide commands, and a microprocessor responsive to commands entered through the user interface to access the information; and at least one instrumentation module electrically coupled to the integrated computer, the instrumentation module being responsive to commands entered through the user interface.

Abstract: A computer-based apparatus provides access to complex technical information needed, for example, to maintain and repair complicated equipment, such as a motor vehicle. The apparatus includes a processor unit and a selectively detachable remotely operated interactive display for accessing information from the processor unit and displaying the information, as well as controlling the functions of the processor unit. The processor unit and display unit communicate over a bi-directional communications cable or, alternatively, over a wireless communication link.
