Abstract: Provided herein are devices and methods for isolation and detection of an analyte from a sample. In some embodiments, provided herein are devices and methods of use thereof for vertical flow-based isolation and detection of analytes in a liquid sample, such as a urine sample.

Abstract: Described is a mechanism that provides the ability to save a snippet of visual programming logic within an automation building tool to be reused amongst different programs. The programming logic may be represented as a directed acyclic graph (DAG) such that the nodes of the graph correspond to various operations and the edges of the graph correspond to the logic flow of the program. The mechanism may provide a new capability to save a snippet of the visual programming logic while adhering to the requirements of a DAG structure. For example, a user may copy a valid substructure of visual programming logic in response to a validation that the programming logic may be inserted into another program. Accordingly, the mechanism provides an efficient and user-friendly mechanism to save portions of visual programming logic for reuse within an automation building tool.

Abstract: Described is a system and method for converting a drawing (or captured image) of a layout using a trained image analysis model (or engine) into a structured document template. The mechanism may allow a user to create a hand-drawn diagram of a layout that can be automatically converted into a template for a document. For example, the hand-drawn diagram may be of a layout for an email which the mechanism may automatically convert into HTML code for an email template within a building tool. The building tool may then use the converted email template as part of an automated email marketing procedure. Accordingly, the mechanism provides the ability for a user to conveniently create a template and forego the process of using only programming code or visual tools.

For example, a user may copy a valid substructure of visual programming logic upon a validation the programming logic may be inserted into another portion of the DAG. Accordingly, the mechanism provides an efficient and user-friendly mechanism to reuse a portion of visual programming logic within an automation building tool.

Abstract: Described is a mechanism that converts a captured image (e.g. hand drawn image) of a process flow diagram into visual programming logic. The mechanism may analyze the image using a machine learning component to recognize various shapes within the image that correspond to various operations (e.g. nodes of a graph). The mechanism may then determine a process flow within the image (e.g. edges of a graph) based on the position of each shape relative to a top-most shape. The recognized operations and process flow may then be automatically provided to the building tool. The building tool may then display the process flow diagram as visual programming logic for an executable program. Accordingly, the mechanism provides the ability for a user to conveniently create programming logic and forego the process of building a program using only programming code or visual tools.
