  • System for microvolume laser scanning cytometry
    Patent number: 7336812
    Abstract: The present invention provides an improved integrated system for biological marker identification. The system uses Microvolume Laser Scanning Microscopy (MLSC) in order to measure patterns of expression of biological markers in biological fluids. The system includes improved instrumentation for performing MLSC, and also includes improved particle detection and analysis methods. The system further comprises an informatics architecture for the analysis of data obtained from the MLSC in tandem with other medical information.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 3, 2004
    Date of Patent: February 26, 2008
    Assignee: PPD Biomarker Discovery Sciences, LLC
    Inventors: Louis J Dietz, Ian Walton, Chih-Hua Chung, Scott Norton, James L Winkler, Aaron B Kantor, Byron Lee, Shalom Tsur

  • Method and apparatus for dynamically counting large itemsets
    Patent number: 6185559
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a data mining method and apparatus that dynamically initiates the counting of sets of items (itemsets) at any time during the pass over the records of a database and terminates the counting at the same location in the next pass. In this manner, the present invention begins to count itemsets early and finishes counting early while keeping the number of different itemsets which are being counted in any pass relatively low.

    Inventors: Sergey Brin, G D Ramkumar, Shalom Tsur
  • Method and apparatus for generating weighted association rules
    Patent number: 6173280
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a data mining method and apparatus that assigns weight values to items and/or transactions based on the value to the user, thereby resulting in association rules of greater importance. A conservative method, aggressive method, or a combination of the two can be used when generating supersets.
