  • Methods, apparatus, and systems for integration of diagnostic laboratory devices
    Patent number: 10950345
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and systems for obtaining sensor-generated data in a diagnostic laboratory apparatus including one or more producers of data that include a sensor, a local communications network communicatively coupling the producers to a data router configured to translate data received from producers of data into a common format record, the common format including key-value pairs, and at least one subscriber that registers one or more channel-based subscriptions with the data router. Records remain in storage by the data router until to the subscriber acknowledges successful receipt, after which the data router manages its storage resources to provide storage for newer sensor-generated data. The data router is configured to install plug-ins as needed to translate data formats of newly-integrated producers with new formats.

  • Flowlet-based processing
    Patent number: 10044548
    Abstract: A data processing task may be implemented in a distributed computing system by the use of a workflow broken into flowlets that are arranged in a directed acyclic graph between data sources and data sinks. Such an arrangement may include various flow control and/or fault tolerance schemes, among other features.
