  • Patent number: 10902068
    Abstract: Systems and methods for automating the retrieval of partitionable search results from a database and reducing the latency of delivering the partitionable search results are disclosed. A query for searching a database is constructed. Multiple processing tasks are assigned and executed to retrieve partitioned search results from a database in parallel. Each partition of search results is returned to the user as response messages. Response messages may be continuously received until all search results responsive to the query have been retrieved from the database. When multiple processing tasks are used to retrieve and deliver partitioned search results in parallel, server, internet and client resources are optimized, and the throughput of search results and metadata are increased, and the process of narrowing or filtering search results is an interactive and informed process for the user.

  • Patent number: 9335331
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for diagnosing a subject's Alzheimer's disease state. The method involves providing a database containing information relating to protein expression levels associated and not associated with Alzheimer's disease. The database includes information relating to at least a majority of the following proteins: albumin, alpha-1-antitrypsin, apolipoprotin E, apolipoprotein J, complement component 3, contactin, fibrin beta, Ig heavy chain, Ig light chain, neuronal pentraxin receptor, plasminogen, proSAAS, retinol-binding protein, transthyretin, and vitamin D binding protein. Information relating to proteins found in one or more cerebrospinal fluid samples from a subject is also provided and a database is used to analyze the information from the subject to diagnose the subject's Alzheimer's disease state. Also disclosed is a computer readable medium and a system, both useful in carrying out the present invention.
