The present invention provides an improved integrated system for biological marker identification. The system uses Microvolume Laser Scanning Microscopy (MLSC) in order to measure patterns of expression of biological markers in biological fluids. The system includes improved instrumentation for performing MLSC, and also includes improved particle detection and analysis methods. The system further comprises an informatics architecture for the analysis of data obtained from the MLSC in tandem with other medical information.

System for microvolume laser scanning cytometry

The present invention is directed to a data mining method and apparatus that dynamically initiates the counting of sets of items (itemsets) at any time during the pass over the records of a database and terminates the counting at the same location in the next pass. In this manner, the present invention begins to count itemsets early and finishes counting early while keeping the number of different itemsets which are being counted in any pass relatively low.

Method and apparatus for dynamically counting large itemsets

The present invention discloses a data mining method and apparatus that assigns weight values to items and/or transactions based on the value to the user, thereby resulting in association rules of greater importance. A conservative method, aggressive method, or a combination of the two can be used when generating supersets.
