Filed:

Nov 3, 2011

Appl. No.:

13/288900

Inventors:

Stephen L Chen - Anaheim CA, US
KC Chen - Anaheim CA, US
Neeraj Kapoor - Anaheim CA, US

Assignee:

Teco Diagnostics - Anaheim CA

International Classification:

G01N 33/00

US Classification:

422402, 422400, 422401, 422430, 422 681, 422561

Abstract:

A biological material test strip and adjacently-located reference color chart are affixed to a lid portion of an all-in-one specimen cup to perform color-based reaction testing of collected biological specimens in an uncalibrated environment. After specimen collection, the lid portion is secured to a container portion of the specimen cup. The cup may then be rotated into an upside down position causing the specimen, under the force of gravity, to pass from the container portion and into a volume of the lid portion, such that the test strip is exposed to the specimen as it is received into the volume of the lid portion. An image of the exposed test strip and adjacently-located reference color chart may then be captured and processed to identify any color matches between the individual test pads on the test strip and the corresponding sequences of reference color blocks on the reference chart.

International Classification:

G06K 9/00

US Classification:

382128

Abstract:

Color-based reaction testing of biological materials may be performed by capturing, in an uncalibrated environment, a digital image of an exposed test strip, together with an adjacently-located reference color chart or on-strip color chart. The image data specifically representing the individual test pads on the test strip, as well as the reference color blocks on the reference chart, are then located within the captured image, and compared to identify any color matches between the test pads and the corresponding sequences of reference color block. Based on this comparison operation, a set of test results can be generated which effectively identifies which of the reference chart's color blocks most closely matches the color of the corresponding dipstick's test pads. The generated test results may then be provided to the user in a printed or displayed form. Alternatively, the test results may simply be stored for later retrieval.

International Classification:

G06F 40/30
G06N 5/02
G06F 40/279

Abstract:

A method includes determining a set of identigens for words of content to produce a sets of identigens and interpreting the sets of identigens to determine a most likely meaning interpretation of the content and produce a baseline entigen group. The method further includes recovering an incomplete entigen group for the topic from a first knowledge database based on a knowledge defect of the incomplete entigen group with regards to the topic. The method further includes obtaining an additive entigen group from a second knowledge database based on the knowledge defect and modifying the incomplete entigen group utilizing the additive entigen group to produce an updated entigen group to provide a beneficial cure for the knowledge defect of the incomplete entigen group.

International Classification:

G06N 5/02
G06N 5/04
G06F 40/30

Abstract:

A method includes detecting an incomplete entigen group within a knowledge database. The incomplete entigen group includes entigens and one or more entigen relationships between at least some of the entigens. The incomplete entigen group represents knowledge of a topic. The method further includes obtaining additive content for the topic based on the incomplete entigen group and generating an additive entigen group based on the additive content. The method further includes updating the incomplete entigen group utilizing the additive entigen group to produce an updated entigen group. The method further includes indicating that the updated entigen group has an un-curated status when the additive entigen group conflicts with the incomplete entigen group.

International Classification:

G06Q 30/06

Abstract:

A method performed by a computing device includes determining a set of identigens for each word of words of a product-service query to produce sets of identigens. The method further includes interpreting, using identigen pairing rules of a knowledge database, the sets of identigens to determine a most likely meaning interpretation of the product-service query and produce a query entigen group that includes query entigens. The method further includes identifying one or more characteristic entigen categories for a subjective category entigen of the query entigen group. The method further includes recovering a set of response entigens for the product-service query from the knowledge database utilizing the query entigen group and based on the one or more characteristic entigen categories. The set of response entigens provides an answer for the product-service query.

Abstract:

A method for execution by a computing device includes obtaining a set of media element identigens for media elements of media to produce sets of media element identigens. The sets of media element identigens are possible interpretations of a media element. The method further includes generating a set of relationships between media elements. The relationships provide a list of one or more ways in which the media elements are related. The method further includes processing different permutations of the sets of media element identigens using the set of relationships to generate an entigen group. The entigen group represents a most likely interpretation of the media.

International Classification:

G06F 17/27

Abstract:

A method includes identifying a set of identigens for each word of a first phrase of a phrase group to produce a first plurality of sets of identigens and determining whether first and second identigen rules are applicable to the first plurality of sets of identigens. When the first and second identigen rules are applicable to the first plurality of sets of identigens, the method further includes identifying a set of identigens for each word of a second phrase of the phrase group to produce a second plurality of sets of identigens and determining that the first identigen rules are applicable to the second plurality of sets of identigens. The method further includes identifying one valid identigen of each set of identigens of the first plurality of sets of identigens by applying the first identigen rules to the first plurality of sets of identigens to produce a first entigen group.
