  • Publication number: 20150127271
    Abstract: A liquid sampling device for use with a mobile device comprises a wired connection for connecting the liquid sampling device to the mobile device, a sample receiving and testing section capable of receiving a liquid sample and conducting electrochemical testing of the liquid sample and a sample testing circuit configured to communicate at least one liquid sample test result to the mobile device via the wired connection. Associated methods and a mobile device application for interfacing with the liquid sampling device are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20140255886
    Abstract: Computer-implemented systems and methods are provided for automatically scoring the content of moderately predictable responses. For example, a computer performing the content scoring analysis can receive a response (either in text or spoken form) to a prompt. The computer can determine the content correctness of the response by analyzing one or more content features. One of the content features is analyzed by applying one or more regular expressions, determined based on training responses associated with the prompt. Another content feature is analyzed by applying one or more context free grammars, determined based on training responses associated with the prompt. Another content feature is analyzed by applying a keyword list, determined based on the test prompt eliciting the response and/or stimulus material. Another content feature is analyzed by applying one or more probabilistic n-gram models, determined based on training responses associated with the prompt.

  • Publication number: 20070220621
    Abstract: The present invention is related to the identification of cancer stem cells using the MMTV-Wnt-1 transgenic mouse model. These cancer stem cells have a gene expression signature that allows them to be distinguished from their non-tumorigenic counterparts. Moreover, the gene expression pattern can also predict survival in a diverse group of solid tumors.
