  • Intelligent caching
    Patent number: 9037797
    Abstract: Intelligent caching includes defining a cache policy for a data source, selecting parameters of data in the data source to monitor, the parameters forming a portion of the cache policy, and monitoring the data source for an event based on the cache policy. Upon an occurrence of an event, the intelligent caching also includes retrieving target data subject to the cache policy from a first location and moving the target data to a second location.

  • Fluidic test apparatus and method
    Patent number: 7908906
    Abstract: An apparatus, system and method for determining the osmolarity of a fluid. The system includes an apparatus having: a chip with a substantially planar top surface; a first circuit portion and a second circuit portion, each having a plurality of redundant electrically conductive lines disposed on the top surface; and a gap disposed between the first circuit portion and the second circuit portion, wherein a circuit is created when a fluid sample bridges the gap and connects the first circuit portion and the second circuit portion.
