Patent number: 10140419Abstract: A graphical user interface on a computer provides for the analysis of location specific data and the presentation of analysis results for visual comparison by a user. Results of the analysis are visually presented as icons subdivided into regions and arranged in such a way that the user is able to associate each icon with a data location. A visual presentation of results in the icons and regions allows a user to visually compare the analysis results in two or more data sets according to location. The graphical user interface further provides for the definition and adjustment of an analysis through the interaction of a user with a graphical representation of the analysis. In some cases, the visual presentation of results tracks the analysis adjustments so the user can visually observe the effects that the adjustments have on the results. A method of interacting with the interface to define an analysis and represent results and a method of presenting two or more data sets using the interface are described.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2015Date of Patent: November 27, 2018Assignee: EMD Millipore CorporationInventors: Amedeo Joseph Cappione, III, Ray Lefebvre, Neil Kilcoin, David Andrew King, George J. Dixon

Patent number: 8885153Abstract: A method of analyzing pulses from a flow cytometer in which particles in a fluid pass through an excitation volume of an electromagnetic radiation and interact with the electromagnetic radiation to generate signals in the form of pulses includes generating a time-dependent pulse indicative of the characteristics of one or more particles passing through the excitation volume of the electromagnetic radiation, determining a measurement window by selecting a portion of the pulse with a starting point and an ending point above a predetermined value, and calculating a first derivative of the pulse with respect to time over the measurement window.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2012Date of Patent: November 11, 2014Assignee: EMD Millipore CorporationInventors: Richard Pittaro, Bruce Goldman, Ray Lefebvre, David A.
