  • Patent number: 9390112
    Abstract: In general, embodiments of the present invention provide systems, methods and computer readable media for automated dynamic data quality assessment. One aspect of the subject matter described in this specification includes the actions of receiving a data quality job including a new data sample; and, if the new data sample is determined to be added to a reservoir of data samples, sending a quality verification request to an oracle; receiving a new data sample quality estimate from the oracle; and adding the new data sample and estimate to the reservoir. A second aspect of the subject matter includes the actions of receiving, from a predictive model, a judgment associated with a new data sample; analyzing the new data sample based in part on the judgment to determine whether to send a new data sample quality verification request to an oracle; and, if a new data sample quality estimate is received from the oracle, determining whether to add the new data sample and the judgment to the reservoir.

  • Publication number: 20160194283
    Abstract: Amines and amine derivatives that improve the buffering range, and/or reduce the chelation and other negative interactions of the buffer and the system to be buffered. The reaction of amines or polyamines with various molecules to form polyamines with differing pKa's will extend the buffering range, derivatives that result in polyamines that have the same pKa yields a greater buffering capacity. Derivatives that result in zwitterionic buffers improve yield by allowing a greater range of stability.

  • Publication number: 20120123080
    Abstract: A hydrophobic polymer made by incorporating alkyl chains pendant to the main backbone of the polymer which allows creating polymers with alkyl chains pendant to the polymer chain. Synthetic and naturally derived starting materials such as tallow diamine or ethoxylated tallow amine typically contain a mixture of chain lengths with varying degrees of branching and unsaturation. The unsaturated positions in the final polymer can be made to cross-link in the presence of a catalyst to increase the hardness and reduce the effect of heat and solvent borne exposures. The present invention can be a replacement to current monomers or additive to common polymers to replace or modify the current polymers to alter the properties of a polymer adding the known benefits of fatty compounds to common polymers such as hydrophobicity, or in altering the HLB (hydrophilic lipophilic balance) of polymeric surfactants.
