Abstract: Systems and methods for using smart sample containers to manage complex sample evaluation workflows, are disclosed. An example method for using a smart sample container configured to manage a sample evaluation workflow according to the present invention comprises, obtaining a sample evaluation workflow for the one or more samples, receiving interactions with external devices, and based on the sample evaluation workflow, and causing the external devices to perform actions to advance the sample evaluation workflow. The smart sample container may further modify the sample evaluation workflow based on results of actions performed by the sample evaluation workflow and/or store information relating to the results of such actions. In this way, the smart sample containers are able to dynamically drive the evaluation of a sample through its sample evaluation workflow.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a tool-matching system includes a first controller and a plurality of second controllers. Each of the second controllers is configured to support a digital twin and control configuration parameters of the corresponding measuring instrument. The first controller is configured to estimate configuration-parameter changes for the measuring instruments based on instrument drift data. The estimated parameter changes are directed at tool matching the measuring instruments at a future time. The first controller is also configured to receive a plurality of reports evaluating the estimated configuration-parameter changes. Each of the reports is generated with the respective digital twin based on a respective subset of the estimated configuration-parameter changes.

Abstract: A system (100) for visualizing image data (122), comprising: an image interface (120) for accessing the image data (122); a display processor (140) for i) generating a plurality of different views (301-312) of the image data based on one or more view parameters defining each one of the plurality of different views, and ii) generating a gallery (320) comprising the plurality of different views; and a user interface subsystem (160) for j) enabling the user to select one the plurality of different views (301-312) from the gallery (320), there by obtaining a selected view (301), and jj) enabling the user to adjust the selected view (301A) by adjusting a view parameter of the selected view, thereby obtaining an adjusted view parameter; wherein the display processor (140) is arranged for updating the gallery (322) by adjusting at least another one of the plurality of different views (304, 305) based on the adjusted view parameter, thereby establishing an adjusted other view (304A, 305A) in the gallery.
