20100057415 | COLLABORATION FRAMEWORK FOR MODELING - A modeling solution, which enables various users to create, use, and evaluate models, such as scientific models, in various scenarios is provided. To this extent, the modeling solution can define a model using one or more model components, each of which is configured to implement a modeling function using a set of standard execution rules. Additionally, the modeling solution can manage attribute data for each model/model component, which can include evaluation data for the corresponding model/model component. A user can review the attribute data and decide on a model/model component to use in a scenario. Subsequently, the user can provide initialization data for the scenario. The scenario can be executed, and result data for the scenario can be stored together with the initialization data. Users also can evaluate the scenario. In an embodiment, multiple users are classified into multiple tiers, and evaluation data is managed for each tier, thereby allowing users to effectively evaluate the model/model component among groups of users with similar concerns. | 03-04-2010 |

20160117605 | Iterated Geometric Harmonics for Data Imputation and Reconstruction of Missing Data - Systems and methods for reconstruction of missing data using iterated geometric harmonics are described herein. A method includes receiving a dataset having missing entries, initializing missing values in the dataset with random data, and then performing the following actions for multiple iterations. The iterated actions include selecting a column to be updated, removing the selected column from the dataset, converting the dataset into a Gram matrix using a kernel function, extracting rows from the Gram matrix for which the selected column does not contain temporary values to form a reduced Gram matrix, diagonalizing the reduced Gram matrix to find eigenvalues and eigenvectors, constructing geometric harmonics using the eigenvectors to fill in missing values in the dataset, and filling in missing values to improve the dataset and create a reconstructed dataset. The result is a reconstructed dataset. The method is particularly useful in reconstructing image and video files. | 04-28-2016 |

20140235510 | MICROFLUIDIC INTERFACE FOR HIGHLY PARALLEL ADDRESSING OF SENSING ARRAYS - Disclosed is a spotter device and methods for the formation of microassays, biochips, biosensors, and cell cultures. The spotter may be used to deposit highly concentrated spots of protein or other materials on a microarray slide, wafer, or other surface. It may also be used to perform various chemistry steps on the same spots. The spotter increases the surface density of substances at each spot by directing a flow the desired substance (or a solution thereof) over the spot area until surface saturation is accomplished. The spotter may be loaded by well plate handling equipment. The spotter uses wells, microfluidic conduits, and orifices to deposit proteins, other biomolecules, or chemicals on a spot on, a separate surface. Each orifice is connected to two wells via microconduits. When the spotter contacts a surface, a seal is formed between the orifices and the surface. The same or different substances may be flowed across each orifice. Any number of orifices may be incorporated into a spotter. The spotter is particularly useful for depositing proteins in high concentrations on a surface, since the spotter may be placed on a surface for an extended period of time. | 08-21-2014 |
