20100052669 | Flexible Plate Magnetostrictive Sensor Probe for Guided-Wave Inspection of Structures - An economical, flexible, magnetostrictive sensor probe for use on planar and/or curved structural surfaces, for guided-wave volumetric inspection of the structure is described. The flexible plate MsS probe includes a flexible strip of magnetostrictive material that is adhered to the base of a generally flat, flexible, conductor coil assembly, preferably with an elastomeric adhesive (such as silicon) or with double sided tape. The conductor coil assembly has a core that is composed of a thin flexible strip of metal, a layer of an elastomeric material (such as rubber), and a thin permanent magnet circuit. The flexible core is surrounded (top, bottom, and on the longitudinal ends) by a flat flexible cable (FFC) that is folded and looped over the layers of the core. The exposed conductors at the ends of the FFC are shifted from each other by one conductor spacing and joined together so that the parallel conductors in the FFC form a flat, flexible, continuous coil. The entire probe assembly may be bent to match the curved contours of the surface of the structure under investigation. | 03-04-2010 |
20110121030 | Container for Sequentially Dispensing Multiple Fluids onto an Applicator Device - A structure and system are described which include the use of a combination container for sequentially dispensing multiple fluids onto a removable applicator device. A preferred application of the invention is with the sequential dispensing of a quantity of disinfecting solution over a toothbrush, followed by the dispensing of a measured quantity of toothpaste onto the toothbrush. The device is constructed in a double walled cylindrical (circular or non-circular) configuration with a hollow plunger component coaxially positioned within the cylindrical walls. Beneath the plunger component is contained a quantity of disinfectant solution such that when the plunger is directed downward the disinfectant solution is forced upward between the walls of the double walled container and through dispensing ports directed into the interior where the applicator is positioned. The contained motion of the plunger component downward under the directed force of the applicator brings the base of the hollow plunger into contact with the base wall of the container and causes the collapse of the hollow plunger. A second liquid/gel contained within the hollow plunger is then directed up and out of its enclosed volume through ports aligned with the applicator. The design is intended to accommodate a wide variety of compounds and applicators. Wherever the dispensing of two different compounds (liquids/gels) is required in a sequential manner, the present invention finds applicability. | 05-26-2011 |

20100295685 | System and Method for Automatic Quality Control of Clinical Diagnostic Processes - A system and method to automatically implement quality control of a clinical diagnostic process are disclosed. Upon generation of an internal error flag, a confirmation rule automatically checks a questionable patient statistic alert by testing a quality control specimen, applying event-related quality control rules to the results of that test, and provides an alert to the operator only upon a confirmed patient signal. The automatic quality control process thus eliminates the uncertainty of operator reaction to an alert signal and implements the quality control run automatically, without operator intervention. | 11-25-2010 |
20110022323 | System and Method to Determine Sigma of a Clinical Diagnostic Process - A system and method for determining a sigma of a clinical diagnostic process are disclosed. Specimen data are collected from a plurality of laboratory instruments. The specimen data are evaluated to determine a concentration and an analytical standard deviation for each data point. A clinical diagnostic process is run and patient analyte values are acquired, and a standard deviation is assigned to each patient analyte value based on the standard deviation of specimen data having a corresponding concentration. A single sigma-metric is computed based on the patient analyte assigned standard deviations, the sigma-metric representing the sigma of the clinical diagnostic process. The computed sigma-metric is reported to a user or laboratory manager. | 01-27-2011 |

20120253723 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING STATISTICALLY VALID ASSAY MEANS AND RANGES FOR QUALITY CONTROL MATERIALS - A method of establishing statistically valid assay means and ranges for quality control materials, used to qualify medical testing machines, utilizes tests on a new lot of quality control material to establish an assay mean, and uses data from a database of historical test results to establish an assay range. The system may estimate the variability of test results from prior lot data, and then compute the limits of the assay range such that a new test on a new lot of the quality control material will be expected to fall within the range with a specified probability. Because historical data is used to estimate the test variability, the number of new tests required to specify a statistically valid mean and range may be dramatically reduced, as compared with establishing the mean and range based only on tests of the new lot of material. | 10-04-2012 |
20120330866 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING AN OPTIMUM QC STRATEGY FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE RESULTS - The present invention proposes a method for optimizing a quality control strategy for rapid release results. An embodiment of the invention includes generating a set of candidate quality control rules and for each candidate rule, computing a maximum number of patient specimens that can be tested between quality control events while keeping the expected number of correctable unacceptable results below a predetermined correctable maximum and keeping the expected number of final unacceptable results below a predetermined final maximum. Furthermore a quality control utilization rate can be computed based on the number of patient specimens tested between each quality control event and the number of reference samples tested at each quality control event. The candidate rule for which the best quality control utilization rate may be selected along with the corresponding number of patients to be tested between each quality control as the optimum quality control strategy. | 12-27-2012 |
20140223234 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ANALYZING A QC STRATEGY FOR RELEASING RESULTS - A method analyzes a quality control strategy. A quality control rule can define quality control events and specifying a control limit for determining whether a quality control event passes or fails. The quality control rule and a number of patient samples tested between quality control events can be received. A first expected number of correctible errors when a quality control event fails can be computed based on the quality control rule and the number of patient samples tested between quality control events. A second expected number of final errors that are not correctible when a quality control event fails can be computed based on the quality control rule and the number of patient samples tested between quality control events. An assessment of the quality control rule can include the first expected number of correctible errors and the second expected number of final errors as separate values. | 08-07-2014 |

20090201923 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR A FAULT-TOLERANT SCALABLE SWITCH FABRIC WITH QUALITY-OF-SERVICE (QOS) SUPPORT - Embodiments of the present invention relate to portions of a switch fabric having a single logical stage and at least one physical stage. In addition, the data paths and the control paths of the switch fabric can be decoupled thereby allowing additional processing to be performed than would otherwise be the case with control rates that matched the high data rates. In other words, data cells received on high speed links can be spread over many lower speed links; consequently, the data cells can transit the switch fabric at that high speed while the control information associated with the data can be processed at that lower speed. Because the control information can be processed at a lower speed (associated with the control path), the control information can be processed over a greater period of time. | 08-13-2009 |
