Patent number: 7881876Abstract: Methods, systems and computer readable media for quantifying and removing offset bias signals in a chemical array data set having one or more channels. In one embodiment, for each channel of data in the data set, a first set of features is selected from the data set. Surface intensities are calculated for features in the first selected set of features and surface intensifies of features not in the first selected set are calculated from the calculated surface intensities. A second set of features is selected, the intensity values of which are within a range of correspondingly located surface intensity values defined by upper and lower threshold intensities. Secondary surface intensifies are calculated for features in the second selected set of features and secondary surface intensities for all other locations on the array that were not locations corresponding to the features having secondary surface intensities calculated therefore, are calculated.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2006Date of Patent: February 1, 2011Assignee: Agilent Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Christian A.

Patent number: 7372982Abstract: A method to allow an analyst or other user of molecular-array data to directly tailor pixel-intensity integration of scanned pixel-based representations of features of a molecular array to produce feature signals. The method is embodied in a graphical user interface that allows an analyst or other molecular-array user to input pixel-intensity-weighting functions into a computational system that applies the weighting functions prior to producing integrated feature signals. The GUI provides a user with the ability to select the origin of a feature-centric rectilinear coordinate system, to input a function that specifies the function that is applied to the raw pixel intensities within the region of interest prior to integration of the pixel intensities within the region of interest to produce a feature signal.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2003Date of Patent: May 13, 2008Assignee: Agilent Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Christian A.
