  • Publication number: 20240094879
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 10737196
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20150110268
    Abstract: A method for coding and decoding information (10) associated with an item includes the steps of coding the information (10) associated with the item through an encryption key (20) and a first encryption algorithm, so as to generate a code (50) associated with the information (10), the code being realized through at least one material, typically an ink, having predefined electric properties (30) and being readable and decryptable by applying a variable electric field, and of applying the code (50) to the item, wherein the method generates encrypted information (95) which can be obtained by encrypting variable information (70) through a second encryption algorithm which uses, as an encryption key, the information (10) associated with the item, and applies the variable information (70) to the item or to a second item associated with the item.

  • Publication number: 20130221107
    Abstract: A method for applying a code (36) onto a substrate (39) is described where the code (36) includes a plurality of code elements obtained by printing inks having specific conductive properties, wherein the digital information associated with the code can be extracted through the use of radio frequency by subjecting the code elements to an alternating or variable electric field. The method includes the steps of: making a polymeric structure (19) including a film (11) and at least one layer (32,34) of polymeric material; printing the code (36) onto the at least one layer (32,34) of polymeric material; applying an adhesive layer (38) onto the at least one layer (32,34) of polymeric material or onto the substrate (39); applying the polymeric structure (19) onto the substrate (39); and transferring the code (36) from the polymeric structure (19) to the substrate (39).

  • Patent number: 7949848
    Abstract: 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.
