  • Porous media compositions and methods for producing the same
    Patent number: 10471411
    Abstract: The present invention relates to porous substrate compositions and methods for producing such compositions. In one embodiment, the porous substrate composition of the present invention comprises sintered spherical particles of a substantially uniform size. The porous media compositions of the present invention comprise relatively randomly-ordered particles with a void fraction significantly higher than compositions with a more ordered, close-packed configuration. The present invention further relates to composite porous media compositions comprising two or more relatively discrete layers of sintered particles.
    Type: Grant

  • Laboratory instrumentation information management and control network
    Publication number: 20080235055
    Abstract: Described are techniques for identifying samples processed in a laboratory using harmonized identifier. A case identifier identifying a patient from whom a specimen is collected is determined. A specimen identifier associated with the specimen is determined. An entry for the specimen is recorded in a data store where the entry being associated with the case identifier and the specimen identifier. A harmonized specimen identifier including the case identifier and the specimen identifier is formed. The specimen is labeled with the harmonized specimen identifier.
