  • APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR STORING AND DISPENSING MEDICATIONS
    Publication number: 20190147688
    Abstract: An apparatus for automated storage and dispensing of medications. Medications are stored in one or more inventory storage foam storage plates attached to a frame of the apparatus. Medications are delivered to the apparatus via a locked delivery container. A carrier mechanism retrieves medications from the inventory storage container and delivery container and moves medications to various subsystems of the apparatus. Information related to medications is communicated to a remote pharmacist prior to dispensing the medication. Multiple installations of the apparatus are centrally coordinated.

  • Computer systems and methods for genotype to phenotype mapping using molecular network models
    Publication number: 20050086035
    Abstract: A computer system and methods are provided for mapping genotypes to phenotypes. The system includes a molecular network model and an optimizer. Functions of the molecular network model called trait functions are implemented to compute simulated phenotypes of the network. Simulated phenotypes are numerical properties of the molecular network that correspond to observed phenotypes which are observable properties of the biological system represented by the molecular network model. The optimizer optimizes the network to fit simulated phenotypes to observed phenotypes. The genotype to phenotype mapping system is useful in prediction of phenotypes, identification of phenotypic differences among polymorphic genotypes, determination of environmental effects on phenotypic development, determination of differences in patient response to a therapeutic agent due to genetic polymorphism, and genetic engineering of a target phenotype.
