  • Patent number: 7873481
    Abstract: A method for analyzing a test sample is disclosed, the test sample comprising at least one compound. A test sample comprising at least one compound is provided. Next, the at least one compound in the test sample is determined, thereby generating raw results. The generated raw results are analyzed, wherein the analysis of the test sample is accompanied by an analysis of at least one reference sample. The test sample and the reference sample are analyzed in an identical sequence in each step of the method. A system for carrying out the method is also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20070239475
    Abstract: The present invention is generally related to a method to reduce the cost of filing a repetitive or a jumbo patent application. This can be accomplished by using paragraph identifiers and/or summarizing a part of repetitive disclosure in a table format. The present invention also relates to a method to reduce the cost of filing a repetitive or a jumbo patent application which is based on multiple priority applications. The present invention is further related to a method to reduce the cost of filing a subsequent patent application of a repetitive or a jumbo patent application. The present invention is further related to a method to prepare a patent application using automatic text editing process. The subject methods may be used to maximizing the intellectual property protection while minimizing the cost of preparing patent applications and obtaining patent rights.
