Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for identifying pages that can be authoritatively, to some confidence level or another, associated with a geographic location, and are provided for grouping documents such that authoritative location associations can be propagated from pages with higher location confidence to pages with lower location confidence. Pages might be identified with authoritative indicators, groups of pages identified including at least one addressed page and at least one unaddressed page, wherein an addressed page is a page having a higher confidence level than an unaddressed page, and at least one processing step performed that is location specific. The confidence level assigned to a page as part of the process represents the confidence that the page is associated with an identifiable geographic location.

Abstract: A computer-performed method of providing unique identifiers (UIDs) for items. Input indicating one or more items is received. A UID is issued for one of the one or more items. The issued UID is stored in a database. The method includes controlling access to the database to enforce a workflow for coordinating performance of a plurality of functions relative to implementing the issued UID.

Abstract: An automated parallel electrophoresis system including a plurality of capillaries configured to accommodate samples during an electrophoresis run which includes a plurality of phases. The system also includes a control circuit coupled to the capillaries and configured to perform one of monitoring and regulating the capillaries, a display monitor and a computer processor coupled to the control circuit and the display monitor. The computer processor includes a input/output (I/O) interface configured to communicate with the control circuit and a first computer memory storing a display program which displays a graphical user interface on the display monitor. In addition, a method of monitoring and regulating an electrophoresis run performed on a parallel capillary electrophoresis system which comprises a plurality of capillaries configured to accommodate samples during an electrophoresis run.
