Publication number: 20240094879Abstract: Computer systems and methods may display multi-dimensional data sets in a dynamically-generated ocular view, which may show the relationship between data points in the different dimensions. For example, such a data set may include in one dimension results of one or more laboratory tests and, in another dimension, body systems or functions that the respective tests may relate to. The ocular view may depict the relationships between the tests and the systems. By being generated dynamically, moreover, the ocular view may be able to present this information for arbitrary sets of test results, without a template having been generated in advance to specify the layout of some particular combination of results.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 30, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Applicant: QUEST DIAGNOSTICS INVESTMENTS INC.Inventors: Peter Wilkinson, Kerry O'Brien

Patent number: 10737196Abstract: A vapor-liquid contact tray apparatus includes a tray having a plurality of apertures for passage of fluid through the tray. The apertures are arranged in a first group of three adjacent rows extending substantially parallel to a main liquid flow path of the tray. Apertures of the middle row are offset along the main liquid flow path on the tray from adjacent apertures of the other two rows to form a triangular pattern of adjacent apertures across the three adjacent rows. The apertures have a length and a width, each length is oriented substantially parallel to its row and each width is oriented substantially perpendicular to its row. Centers of adjacent apertures within each row are separated by a first spacing which is equal to or between 2.5 and 4.5 times the average length of the apertures in that row. Adjacent rows are separated by a second spacing which is equal to or between 1.5 and 2.5 times the average width of the apertures of the adjacent rows.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2015Date of Patent: August 11, 2020Assignee: Sulzer Chemtech AGInventors: Mark W.

Patent number: 7949848Abstract: The present invention for reducing memory usage of an object oriented program. The object oriented program comprises class definitions used to create objects, each class definition providing at least one function that can be run in respect of objects created from that class definition, and identifying a number of storage items to be provided in memory for each object to store data values associated with that object. The method involves determining an original size associated with each storage item, and analysing the class definition to identify any numeric ranges associated with the storage items. For each storage item for which a numeric range is identified, it is determined if the original size can be reduced whilst still supporting the numeric range, and if so a modified size less than the original size is allocated to that storage item. Thereafter, the class definition is altered having regard to any storage element that has been allocated a modified size.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2007Date of Patent: May 24, 2011Assignee: ARM LimitedInventor: Graham Peter Wilkinson
