  • Patent number: 12153785
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a computer-implemented method comprising: aggregating option evaluation data for a plurality of options and for a plurality of predefined criteria; graphically displaying the user modifiable chart comprising the plurality of graphical representations of the aggregated option evaluation data, wherein: each graphical representation depicts data points visually plotted with weights, the plurality of graphical representations for the plurality of predefined criteria are visually ordered according to a rank of the plurality of predefined criteria, and the weights are based on the rank of the plurality of predefined criteria; detecting a first user input modifying the rank of at least one predefined criterion; in accordance with the first user input, automatically updating the weights of the data points; and displaying an updated user modifiable chart comprising the plurality of graphical representations of the aggregated option evaluation data.

  • Patent number: 12102617
    Abstract: An antimicrobial composition containing a synergistic combination of an imidazole antifungal agent and activated creatinine is provided, wherein the imidazole antifungal agent represents in the range of about 0.5 mol % to about 30 mol % of the combination of the antifungal agent and the activated creatinine in the composition. Methods for treating bacterial infections, fungal infections, viral infections, and wounds are also provided, as are other methods of use, including methods for disinfecting inert surfaces, methods for preserving food products, and methods for treating plants. In addition, the invention provides a method for enhancing the antifungal effect of an imidazole antifungal agent as well as a method for enhancing the antibacterial effect of activated creatinine. Compositions and methods involving use of activated 2-amino-imidazol-4-one analogs other than activated creatinine are also provided.

  • Patent number: 6720961
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for displaying a three-dimensional image of an object. In one embodiment, the method comprises the steps of providing a plurality of data sets, referred to as data slices, each said data slice representing a corresponding two-dimensional view of the object, providing a display system comprising a plurality of TOLED displays arranged one behind the other wherein one of the TOLED displays defines a front TOLED display and another one of the TOLED displays defines a rear TOLED display and wherein the plurality of TOLED displays defining three dimensions, and displaying a particular one of said data slices on a corresponding TOLED display so that when the plurality of TOLED displays are viewed through either the front or rear TOLED display, a three-dimensional image of the object appears.
