  • Patent number: 11953496
    Abstract: The invention provides a method for selecting a color for a chemistry or instrument based upon a parameter of a test, the method including: identifying a color corresponding to a parameter of a test for the parameter; selecting, if the color corresponding to the parameter has not previously been used for another parameter, the color for designating a chemistry or an instrument as corresponding to the parameter; selecting, if the color corresponding to the parameter has previously been used for another parameter, a different color other than the color for designating a chemistry or an instrument as corresponding to the parameter, wherein the selecting a color other than the color comprises identifying a color having a measure of change in visual perception of the different color against other previously selected colors a predetermined value from the other previously selected colors; and utilizing the selected colors for parameters across both chemistries (102, 104, 105) and instruments (101, 103) that are util

  • Patent number: 9565057
    Abstract: A system and method for utilizing an attribute data container, e.g., a font file, to store a device identifier is provided. During a mobile configuration procedure, an analytic processing server generates a unique identifier to be used in identifying a particular end user device. This unique identifier is embedded into an attribute data container that is then stored on the end-user device. An application, executing on the end-user device, may load the attribute data container to determine the unique identifier associated with the end user device.

  • Patent number: 8935235
    Abstract: A search history application retrieves and displays a user's remotely stored search history. The search history is sent to the application in the form of a content feed. An email checking application receives a list of new emails as a content feed and displays the list of new emails. New emails for multiple accounts may be displayed concurrently in distinct instances of the email checking application. A blog posting application allows a user to select any of a plurality of blogs under the user's account and post to that blog.
