Filed:

Appl. No.:

09/576296

Inventors:

Gabriel Jakobson - Brookline MA
Mark Weissman - Framingham MA

Assignee:

Verizon Laboratories Inc. - Waltham MA

International Classification:

G06F 1516

US Classification:

709206, 705 8

Abstract:

Systems and methods consistent with the present invention perform message parsing in a distributed component-based network management system using a parsing knowledge structure called a Message Class Grammar (MCG) containing the set of all potential pre-calculated parsing sequences for an active network element. The MCG may be customized to the messages of different active network elements. A universal parsing procedure (UPP) may be used to traverse the hierarchy structure of the MCG. Tracing the MCG hierarchy from the root node along class-subclass arcs until a terminal node is reached determines the parsing sequence for a particular message. The MCG may be developed with a text editor or with a graphical user interface that enables a non-programmer to edit the parser structure.

International Classification:

US Classification:

719316, 719318, 709223, 709224

Abstract:

A method and system are disclosed for efficiently correlating network events within a data processing system and then transmitting messages to various network entities in response to an occurrence of a particular network event. According to the present invention, a network mediation service receives raw message streams from one or more external networks and passes the streams in real-time to the event notification service. The event notification service then passes the message to the message parsing service for processing. After the message has been parsed by the message parsing service, it is passed back to the event notification service which passes the message along an event channel to the network management service. The message is also passed to the event correlation service for event correlation. A knowledge-based database of message classes that define how to interpret the message text are used by the event correlation service to match correlation rule conditions to the observed events.

Mark Weissman - Wayland MA

Assignee:

CompuCyte Corporation - Cambridge MA

International Classification:

G02B 2134
G02B 2126

US Classification:

359396

Abstract:

A microscope slide and read-write system whereby the slide has a pathology specimen thereon and machine readable high density recording media in the form of a magnetic strip, optical reading strip or the like. The read-write system accommodates initial writing of slide and patient identification information on the recording media. The read-write system further embodies elements for operative connection to a microscope system whereby a computer generated representation of the screening history of pathology specimen is recorded and maintained during pathology analysis of the slide showing the mode and parameters of the analysis as well as position related events of interest. The computer generated screening representation is written to the recording media by the read-write system, for constant proximate availability with the slide. The recording media comprises sufficient capacity for encodation with patient identification and medical history information, and slide diagnostic information and analysis for pathological review of the particular pathology specimen on the slide. Compatible read-write systems permit reading and editing of recording media encodation for slide analysis at any time or place without requirements of correlative external files.

US Classification:

39520043

Abstract:

A network system for review and analysis of computer encoded microscope slides and specimens which were originally computer encoded from a microscope (attached via an encoder device to a local computer site), during an initial examination. The encoding includes parameters of viewing locations and events of interest on the slide, with such information being stored on a networked file server. The encoding also includes information regarding the manner in which the initial examination was conducted, for quality control purposes. The computer encoded information is retrievable at all remote locations of the network (either local or connected via modem) for supervisor review or for pathologist analysis. The network is further constituted by microscope sites having similar computer encoding devices attached thereto, which function, in this aspect, as computer terminals of the network. For enhanced analysis, the computer terminals have direct access to patient background information, e. g.

US Classification:

356237

Abstract:

A method and device for the calibration of microscope slides for use in accurate and repeatable position location and relocation of specific areas of a specimen on the slide, particularly with use of computer correlated location of specimen events. Deviation from orthogonality of a specimen holder positioned on a stage (relative to movement of the microscope slide stage) is determined and compensated for by means of a rectangular calibration slide having a predetermined fixed length diagonal, and visual fixation sites at the ends of the diagonal, i. e. , opposite corners of the slide, for the position marking of the corners and determination of the diagonal and its position. The calibration slide is placed on the microscope stage, against a fixed position portion of the slide holder. The viewfinder of the lens is then moved to superimpose and enter a calibration mark directly on two opposite corners of the calibration slide, or on location marks on the calibration slide which are a pre-set distance from such opposite corners. Entry of the corner positions locates a diagonal line of the appropriate length and of a particular slope, relative to the x-y axes of microscope stage movement.

Abstract:

A computerized specimen encoder for use with microscope analysis and pathological studies. The slide encoder is attached to the movable microscope stage, whereby X-Y plane movement and location, is correlated to examination of a specimen on an identified slide, with information marking and location being directly correspondingly written on computer storage media, during the examination. The information marking is in the form of computer generated indicia which are placed at a computer image location of the slide at predetermined time intervals. Subsequent use of the computer-stored information, coupled with the slide encoder, in a slide re-examination, permits independent retrieval of such information and location on the slide. The encoder device is provided with a grayscale marker which marks in varying shades of gray, ranging from white to black, the time spent by a slide screener on a particular portion of the specimen and the number of times spent viewing a particular portion of the specimen.
