20090247417 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DRUG SCREENING - The invention provides a system and method for screening drugs from candidate compounds selected from a library. The system includes multiple hardware components and a computer software system for scheduling and coordinating the operations of the hardware components. A user of the system requests a series of assays to be performed on the candidate compounds. Each assay is associated with a test acceptance criteria. Interdependencies of these assays may be specified. The software system schedules the hardware components to run each assay with minimum hardware idle time possible based on the assays requested and the interdependencies of these assays specified. The software system coordinates and directs the flow of samples and data through the system. A decision whether a sample can proceed to the next assay as scheduled may be made automatically based on test acceptance criteria, or manually modified by the user. All assays can be performed in an automated fashion once the samples are provided to the system. | 10-01-2009 |
20090083701 | MULTIPLE SCHEDULERS - A software platform on a computer readable medium, includes a first unit for input representing a process, a second unit receiving the input from the first unit and converting the input into a neutral format process model, a first memory storing object information from the second unit, and a third unit being replaceable and receiving the neutral format process model information and converting into a language for processing in a runtime engine. | 03-26-2009 |
20080286086 | Automated object mover - An automation apparatus and method includes a first unit rotationally moving objects from one area to another, and a second unit connected to the first unit and holding the objects, moving through or offset from the body of the first unit from a first side of the first unit to the other side the first unit in a direction other than the rotational movement by the first unit. Moreover, the apparatus and method provides moving the objects through a vertical axis of the body of the first unit. | 11-20-2008 |
