  • Patent number: 10878370
    Abstract: Techniques to display and analyze reliability data about a large population of objects are disclosed. In some embodiments, reliability data is arranged in an array, comprising a plurality of linear arrays each of which includes reliability data for a corresponding reporting period. The reliability data includes for each of a plurality of subpopulations a corresponding reliability metric for that subpopulation with respect to the reporting period. A statistics-based conditional formatting is applied to at least a subset of cells comprising the array. The statistics-based conditional formatting may be applied by invoking a function or other automated method to apply a first cell formatting to a first set of cells having a first degree of statistical significance relative to a reference population of cells and a second cell formatting to a second set of cells having a second degree of statistical significance relative to the reference population.

  • Patent number: 8272042
    Abstract: A system, method and computer program product are provided for monitoring data traffic on one or more networks, determining the classification of the data based on an organization's classification rules, and assigning a classification to one or more entities involved in the transmission of the data, the classification being based at least in part on the classification of the data being transmitted. The classification rules may be based on an organization's classification categories of confidentiality, integrity and availability (CIA). The system, method and computer program product are also provided for implementing controls based on the classifications of the various entities, such as issuing an alert and/or preventing transmission of data if the data is transmitted between two entities that have different classifications.

  • Publication number: 20060099648
    Abstract: The invention provides a composition comprising a diverse population of reagent ligands attached to a solid support and a diverse population of reagent antibodies specifically bound to the reagent ligands. The ligands can be peptides, oligosaccharides, oligonucleotides, or organic molecules. The invention additionally provides methods of determining an epitope in a sample contacting a composition comprising a diverse population of ligands attached to a solid support and a diverse population of antibodies specifically bound to each of the ligands with a sample; and detecting the antibodies bound to the diverse population of ligands. The invention further provides methods of diagnosing a disease, identifying a potential therapeutic agent, and mapping accessible epitopes of a polypeptide using invention compositions.
