Abstract: In flow cytometry, particles (2) can be distinguished between populations (8) by combining n-dimensional parameter data, which may be derived from signal data from a particle, to mathematically achieve numerical results representative of an alteration (48). An alteration may include a rotational alteration, a scaled alteration, or perhaps even a translational alteration. Alterations may enhance separation of data points which may provide real-time classification (49) of signal data corresponding to individual particles into one of at least two populations.

Abstract: Systems and methods for affecting spin qubits. In a resonator, an optical field is generated using photons. The optical field causes a stress field to form in the resonator as portions of the resonator oscillates. These oscillations, tunable using lasers and/or injection locking, drive spin transitions to thereby affect the population of specific NV spin qubits present in the resonator.

Abstract: Systems and methods for mapping data fields between flat files and relational databases are disclosed. For example, an operator of a computing system may wish to export select fields from a relational database to a data file. The operator must then manipulate the data file's field header to conform to a defined specification. A computer program may automatically map the fields in that field header to the field names identified in the specification. The program may then rename the fields in the field header to that of the corresponding, specified field names.
