  • Patent number: 8886466
    Abstract: A method of autoverifying clinical test results comprises displaying an autoverification process as a flowchart on a graphical user interface. The autoverification process is defined by a plurality of nodes and a plurality of edges connecting the nodes. The autoverification process is configured to evaluate a result and determine if the test result meets a predetermined criteria. The method further comprises receiving the test result and automatically performing the autoverification process on the test result. A system for creating and implementing the autoverification processes comprises a graphical user interface configured to display the autoverification process as a flowchart. The system includes an input configured to receive the clinical test result from a laboratory analyzer. The system also includes a processor configured to analyze the clinical test result according to the defined autoverification process.

  • Patent number: 7930254
    Abstract: Property value estimation employs a comparable sales technique that calculates a feature distance between a target property and corresponding comparable properties. Determining estimated values for properties includes performing a regression based upon property features for properties in a relatively large geographical area. A set of comparable properties from a section of the relatively large geographical area is identified, and a feature distance between each property from the set of comparable properties and a target property is calculated using information from the regression. The feature distance provides a quantified indication of the difference between each property from the set of comparable properties and the target property for the plurality of property features. An estimated value for the target property is then determined based upon a value of each of the comparable properties and adjustments based upon the calculated feature distances.
