Abstract: We describe apparatuses, systems, method, reagents, and kits for conducting assays as well as process for their preparation. They are particularly well suited for conducting automated sampling, sample preparation, and analysis in a multi-well plate assay format. For example, they may be used for automated analysis of particulates in air and/or liquid samples derived therefrom in environmental monitoring.

Abstract: Applicants have created systems, methods, and computer readable media for verifying the accuracy of medical treatment in accordance with a treatment plan. The method can include the step of receiving medical treatment data including one or more treatment fields and the step of comparing a sample of a segment of treatment plan data with a sample of a first treatment field. The method can further include the step of comparing the segment with the first treatment field if the compared samples match within a first tolerance and the step of generating output data including the results of the step of comparing the segment with the first treatment field if a match occurs within the first tolerance. Through the inventions described herein, a software-based quality assurance analysis can be performed to quickly and accurately verify a patient's dosage in a variety of medical treatments including intensity-modulated radiation therapy.

Abstract: A network security monitor system groups a plurality of security events into network sessions, correlates the network sessions according to a set of predefined network security event correlation rules and generates a security incident for the network sessions that satisfy one of the network security event correlation rules. The system then presents the information of the network sessions and security incidents to a user of the system in an intuitive form. The user is able to not only learn the details of a possible network attack, but also creates new security event correlation rules intuitively, including drop rules for dropping a particular type of events.

Abstract: A system and method of generating an overall top N query result from multiple sets of sessionized network events that correspond to different time periods include identifying a subset within each set of network events whose event attributes satisfy a predefined query, generating an aggregation result table for each identified subset of network events in accordance with an aggregation attribute, identifying matching first and second entries in first and second aggregation result tables that have a same aggregation attribute value, generating a new entry in a query result table by merging the matching first and second entries together, and selecting entries in the query result table that have highest session counts as the overall top N query result.
