Abstract: A system for identifying information in high dimensional, low latency streaming data having dynamically evolving data patterns. The system processes, continuously and in real-time, the streaming data. Processing includes filtering the data based on event data to identify diagnostic data points by comparing the event data with an experimental design matrix and performing a modeling operation using the identified diagnostic data points in order to identify efficiently any current and emerging patterns of relationships between at least one outcome variable and predictor variables. The at least one a-priori, pre-designed experimental design matrix is generated based on combinations of the predictor variables and at least one outcome variable. The experimental design matrix is also generated based on at least one of main effects, limitations, constraints, and interaction effects of the predictor variables and combinations.

Abstract: A non-aspirating dispenser containing a gel therein for delivery to a desired surface such as a medical article. More specifically, a gel that is dispensed in the form of droplets that are free of air or a gas therein and with reduced drift potential. The dispenser has a container having a flexible bag therein enclosing a thixotropic gel, and has a pressurized gas that is capable of exerting pressure on the bag and forcing the gel out of said bag in a steady stream upon pressing an actuator that is operatively connected to an ejection valve. The bag is free of propellants, and does not produce an aerosol. The gel is thixotropic and is utilized for keeping medical instruments moist in order to prevent soils present thereon from drying out, which can make reprocessing of medical instruments more difficult and less effective.
