20130041853 | VALUATING ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS - A method including receiving data from an energy-consuming device; determining an amount of energy consumed by the device during a time interval; calculating an actual energy cost based on the determined amount of energy consumed by the device during the time interval; predicting an amount of energy that would have been consumed by the at least one device during the time interval if the at least one device were not associated with the energy management system; calculating a predicted energy cost based on the predicted amount of energy that would have been consumed by the at least one device during the time interval if the at least one device were not associated with the energy management system; and calculating a valuation of the energy management system for the at least one energy consuming device over the time interval by comparing the actual energy cost and the predicted energy cost. | 02-14-2013 |

20140065637 | Determining Information for Cells - Systems, methods, and devices for determining information for cells are provided. The systems, methods, and devices are configured such that information for more than 100,000 cells can be determined in a single run. The devices are configured to immobilize the cells. The devices also include features that can be used by the systems and methods for determining and tracking the positions of each of the cells in the device on a cell-by-cell basis. The systems and methods are configured for substantially high resolution of the cells while the cells are immobilized in the device. In addition, environmental control subsystems are provided that can control an environment of the cells while the device is positioned in the system or the method is being performed without altering positions of the cells within the device. | 03-06-2014 |

20150015872 | PARTICLE SUSPENSIONS USED AS LOW-CONTRAST STANDARDS FOR INSPECTION OF LIQUIDS - In certain embodiments, a method for validating the human visual inspection process or an optical analysis instrument for use with biological particles may include inspecting a standard particle solution using the optical analysis instrument. The standard particle solution may include a known concentration of standard particles suspended in solution with the standard particles having a defined size and shape distribution. The standard particles may have a refractive index that is substantially similar to a refractive index of the biological particles. The method may include assessing a concentration of standard particles in the standard particle solution from the inspection. The method may include assessing a difference between the assessed concentration of standard particles and the known concentration of standard particles. The method may include modifying one or more parameters of the optical analysis instrument based on the assessed difference between the concentrations. The method may include assessing a detection efficiency of the optical analysis instrument. | 01-15-2015 |
