Abstract: Methods and apparatus for evaluating the quality of an environment or process by measuring light emitted from a bioluminescent sample containing ATP, ADP, or alkaline phosphatase. The apparatus comprises a sample collection and analysis system used to collect a sample, mix reagents, react the sample, and collect it in a measurement chamber. The system includes an instrument having a photon detection assembly for use with the sample testing device and one or more probe assemblies that optically cooperate with the instrument. The instrument includes a dark chamber with a reflective interior surface which may be concave or preferably spherical, and a photon detection sensor such as a multi-pixel photon counter sensor. A substantially transparent portion of the probe assembly, and liquid contained therein, focus bioluminescence toward the photon detection sensor.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, can be implemented to perform actions for capturing assessments. The actions can include receiving data that is related to an entity from one or more sources, processing one or more portions of the data to provide one or more analyses associated with the one or more portions of the data, generating a user interface that displays one or more portions of the data in association with the one or more analyses and a section for assessing the entity, outputting the user interface to a processing device for display of the section and display of the one or more portions of the data in association with the one or more analyses, receiving an assessment of the entity from the user interface, and storing the assessment in association with the entity.

Abstract: A method for managing the assets of holders of portions of the rights in shares of a property is accomplished by steps of acquiring shares of ownership in a property or a security of a business enterprise. The fractional rights are acquired by an administrator of the fractional rights and of a market maintained for trading the fractional rights. The administrator divides the share of the property or security into portions, such as the right to receive a dividend and the right to receive capital appreciation. A limited duration of time may be established for the fractional right, after which the fractional right may revert to a holder of residual rights. In the market, the administrator may sell rights to investors and is willing to repurchase the rights from the investors.
