  • Patent number: 9504380
    Abstract: A system and method for assessing visual processing of a human subject is provided that allows measurement of vergence facility among other measurements. The system and method present a sequence of questions on a dichoptic display that request the identification of an item with stereo disparity. The questions alternate between the item having crossed stereo disparity and uncrossed stereo disparity in order to stress the vergence facility by forcing the eyes to diverge and converge to identify the item with stereo disparity. The time period for providing a response can be compared to a normative value that is equivalent to approximately 15 vergence cycles per minute to determine an abnormal or normal vergence facility.

  • Patent number: 8838531
    Abstract: Systems and methods for verifying data in a distributed database using different automated check operations at different times during the database read and update cycles. Various functions may be performed including executing a first check during update operations of the database. A second check may also be executed during the update operation of the database, and be implemented as an execution thread of an update daemon. A third check may be executed at a time interval between update functions of the update daemon. A fourth check may be executed during a time that the database is not being updated. Integrity of data in the database may be verified by a computer processor based on the first, second, third, and fourth checks.
