Automation of paper testing laboratory by distributed computer system.

A comprehensive laboratory automation system

Analysis and Implementation of Laboratory Automation System

Quest Diagnostics is a large company that analyzes millions of medical specimens every day using a variety of analytical equipment. It is implementing a fully automated line in a major laboratory. The automation line is Quest's first major automation initiative and will serve as a pilot for future initiatives. An important element of implementing this initiative is the transition from manual to...

System/7 in a Hierarchical Laboratory Automation System

is an implementation of a three-level computer hierarchy that provides a high degree of perjormance, availability, and ease ($use for laboratory automation applications. Laboratory automation, a subset of sensor-based computer use, is an area of computer application that is characterized by the computer elements servicing user-attached devices. These are usually devices such as instruments, tes...

Division of Computer Science System Intelligence Laboratory

We propose a novel population-based optimization algorithm, Chaotic Evolution (CE), which uses ergodic property of chaos to implement exploration and exploitation functions of an evolutionary algorithm. CE introduces a mathematical mechanism into an iterative process of evolution and simulates ergodic motion in a search space with a simple principle. A control parameter, direction factor rate, ...
