Decoupling spatial and temporal processes for clinical analyzers.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The separation of time and space in processing a sample greatly simplifies the design of automation for clinical testing. The efficient spatial arrangement of analytical units and sample manipulators has become a more complex task because of the degree of automation required on today's state-of-the-art analyzer. Minimization of sample volume and the reduction of overall analyzer size further complicate the design problem. We report the development of a proprietary method of decoupling the temporal and spatial elements required for analysis of samples. This process is based on number theory and can be used to optimize the distance between the physical processing stations while allowing these same stations to operate on samples over a substantial range of times. The technique is versatile and can also be used when it is desirable to sequentially move groups of items from location to location.

Determination of Spatial-Temporal Correlation Structure of Troposphere Ozone Data in Tehran City
Spatial-temporal modeling of air pollutants, ground-level ozone concentrations in particular, has attracted recent attention because by using spatial-temporal modeling, can analyze, interpolate or predict ozone levels at any location. In this paper we consider daily averages of troposphere ozone over Tehran city. For eliminating the trend of data, a dynamic linear model is used, then some featu...
متن کاملThe Decoupling of Resource Consumption and Environmental Impact from Economic Growth in China: Spatial Pattern and Temporal Trend
Unprecedented economic achievement in China has occurred along with rising resource consumption and waste productions levels. The goal of sustainability requires the decoupling of economic growth from resource consumption (resource decoupling) and environmental degradation (impact decoupling). For this paper, the performances of resource decoupling (energy and water) and impact decoupling (wast...
