Abstract: A system for analyzing distinct datasets with a common index is configurable to (i) receive input data that includes a first set of data and a second set of data that share a common index; (ii) perform a clustering operation on the first set of data to generate a set of clustered data comprising groups representing related datapoints; (iii) identify a set of occurrences within the second set of data (where each occurrence is associated with a respective set of coordinates in the common index), (iv) for each of the set of occurrences: (a) localize search space(s) in the common index using the respective set of coordinates for the occurrence, and (b) facilitate analysis of group(s) of the set of clustered data that are located within the search space(s) to determine whether a relationship exists between the group(s) and the occurrence.

Abstract: The invention concerns a substrate for increased retention capacity of fluids, ideally for use in or as part of a packaging tray, wherein said substrate comprises a plurality of wells provided therein; and a packaging tray comprising said substrate.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for aligning fiducial markers that commonly exist in each of multiple different N-dimensional (N-D) data sets. Notably, the N-D data sets are at least three-dimensional (3D) data sets. A first set and a second set of N-D data are accessed. A set of one or more fiducial markers that commonly exist in both those sets are identified. Based on the fiducial markers, one or more transformations are performed to align the two sets. Performing this alignment process results in at least a selected number of the common fiducial markers that exist in the two sets being within a threshold alignment relative to one another.

Abstract: A container for vacuum skin packaging a product is provided. The container includes a surface for supporting the product and one or more vacuum vents, wherein the one or more vacuum vents are separated from the supporting surface by one or more separation walls. A process for vacuum skin packaging a product using the container and a process for forming the container are also provided.

Abstract: A process for packaging a product, such as a food product, including a step of creating a vacuum reservoir.
