Patent number: 7318000Abstract: Systems and methods configured to guide and manage laboratory analytical process control operations. A Biometric quality control (QC) process application is configured to monitor bias and imprecision for each test, characterize patient population data distributions and compare, contrast, and correlate changes in patient data distributions to any change in QC data populations. The Biometric QC process monitors the analytical process using data collected from repetitive testing of quality control materials and patient data (test results). The QC process identifies the optimal combination of, for example, frequency of QC testing, number of QCs tested, and QC rules applied in order to minimize the expected number of unacceptable patient results produced due to any out-of-control error condition that might occur.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2005Date of Patent: January 8, 2008Assignee: Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc.Inventors: Curtis Parvin, George Cembrowski, William G.

Patent number: 5419147Abstract: Disclosed is a method for reducing the temperature of the air passing over the condenser surface of an air conditioner unit, thereby reducing the power requirements of the unit. The method is carried out by applying water to the condenser surface to achieve coverage of substantially the entire outside surface and the entire inside surface of the condenser with water while the unit is operating. The amount of water applied should be sufficient to wet substantially the entire inside and outside surface of the condenser. The water can be applied from a tubing having a plurality of passages opening through its sidewall at generally linearly spaced apart positions. An adjustable valve means can be positioned near the inlet end of the tubing to regulate water flow through the tubing. An electrically actuated on-off valve can be operatively connected to the tubing between the adjustable valve and the passages so that water will flow only when the compressor is operating.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 1993Date of Patent: May 30, 1995Inventor: William G.
