Patent number: 7908285Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, implement techniques for processing experimental data in a laboratory data management system. An input specifies a set of variable definitions that define a set of variables for an experiment type to be represented by a pre-defined experiment class. The variables in the set of variables have types selected from a predefined set of data types. Data from an experiment of the experiment type is received. A first representation of the data is stored in a format defined according to the set of variable types. A second representation of the data, derived from the first representation, is presented in a format defined according to the set of variable definitions.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2007Date of Patent: March 15, 2011Assignee: Symyx Solutions, Inc.Inventor: David R. Dorsett, Jr.

Patent number: 7818666Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer program products, for processing input data and for defining processing operations to be performed on such data. Input data is processed according to a data parser description associated with the input data format, and output data is generated based on the processing. The data parser description includes a plurality of leaf nodes and a plurality of branch nodes arranged in a tree structure. The leaf nodes each have an associated function. Each of the branch nodes has one or more associated child nodes selected from leaf nodes and other branch nodes. The nodes of the data parser description are evaluated in an order defined by the tree structure. For branch nodes, one or more of the associated child nodes are evaluated; for leaf nodes, the associated function is executed based on data in a current location in the input data.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2006Date of Patent: October 19, 2010Assignee: Symyx Solutions, Inc.Inventors: David R. Dorsett, Jr., Fabrice Ferino

Patent number: 7676499Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus, including computer program apparatus, are described for implementing techniques for processing data from a combinatorial experiment. The techniques include receiving data from a chemical experiment on a library of materials having a plurality of members and generating a representation of the chemical experiment. The representation includes data defining an experiment object having a plurality of properties derived from the chemical experiment. The experiment object is associated with the library of materials. The representation also includes data defining one or more element objects. Each element object is associated with one or more members of the library of materials. A data model and corresponding data structures for describing such experiments are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2006Date of Patent: March 9, 2010Assignee: Symyx Solutions, Inc.Inventor: David R. Dorsett, Jr.

Patent number: 7653607Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and business processes enabling individual chemists to design, order, and obtain data for multiple experiments or measurements in a timely and cost-effective manner. In particular implementations, the invention includes methods and apparatus for designing sets of custom experiments, ordering the execution of the experiments, communicating the order to a remote laboratory, executing the experiments at that laboratory using high-throughput technologies, and communicating the experimental results to the user.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2007Date of Patent: January 26, 2010Assignee: SYMYX Solutions, Inc.Inventors: Isy Goldwasser, David R. Dorsett, Jr., Jere D. Fellmann

Patent number: 7213034Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products implement techniques for processing experimental data according. An input specifies a set of variable definitions according to a variable definition template for defining a set of variables of a plurality of variable types usable in experiments of a pre-defined experiment class. Data from an experiment of an experiment type is received. A first representation of the data is stored in a format defined according to the plurality of variable types. A second representation of the data, derived from the first representation, is presented in a format defined according to the set of variable definitions. The variable definition template is referenced in the pre-defined experiment class. The data includes a plurality of values corresponding to variables defined in the set of variable definitions.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2003Date of Patent: May 1, 2007Assignee: Symyx Technologies, Inc.Inventor: David R.
