  • Patent number: 10719799
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method and system are provided for optimizing resource usage, wherein the resources include employees of an organization. The method includes collecting employee data including structured data and unstructured data through multiple input channels over at least one network and storing the employee data collected over the multiple input channels in at least one computer memory. The method further includes accessing the computer memory using at least one computer processor and executing instructions to perform multiple operations on the stored data. The operations include transforming the unstructured data into structured data and disambiguating the structured data. The operations additionally include applying rule sets to the transformed data and the structured data to derive a digital productivity footprint for each employee and analyzing the derived digital footprints to optimize resource usage.

  • Patent number: 10706377
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for assessing risks and efficiencies based on enterprise communications information. A method for assessing risks and efficiencies based on enterprise communications information may include: collecting information from digital data tools over at least one computer network into a storage database in a computer memory; executing instructions on a computer processor to synthesize the employee communications data into structured data; mining the structured data to generate exploratory data; performing analytics on the structured data to generate confirmatory data; disambiguating the confirmatory data and exploratory data; determining a business impact based on the exploratory and confirmatory data; and implementing a business process based on a quantification of said business impact.

  • Patent number: 4765737
    Abstract: In a flow cytometer where the laser beam is larger than the size of each biological cell of a column of cells being passed through the laser beam at a high rate wherein new and improved method and means are used to calculate the size of the cells as sensed by low angle forward light scatter or secondary emission of fluorescent material on the surface of the cell by measuring the time-of-flight of the smaller cell across the laser beam, with the time-of-flight being measured by integrating an electrical signal from either the forward light scatter or the secondary flourescent emission from a single cell as it passes through the laser beam and deriving still another electrical signal measuring the peak amplitude of the first signal and then dividing the integrated signal by the peak signal and subtracting a constant electrical signal from that quotient.
