The phrase "allowed us to minimize" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing the ability to reduce something, such as risks, costs, or negative impacts, as a result of a certain action or decision.
Example: "The new software implementation allowed us to minimize errors in data entry, leading to improved accuracy."
Alternatives: "enabled us to reduce" or "permitted us to lessen".
"Repackaging components and using advanced design and simulation software allowed us to minimize the size and weight of our new Duramax V-8," said Charles Freese, executive director for diesel engineering at G.M. While the latest BMW and G.M. V-8s share this key innovation, they differ in most other respects.
The use of a non-selective RF excitation approach allowed us to minimize the susceptibility of the SSFP sequence to B0 magnetic field inhomogeneities and out of slice contributions the major contributors to image artifacts.
Even though we could not control for other confounding factors (e.g. stressful life events), the strict exclusion criteria allowed us to minimize the effects of factors such as irregular sleep-wake schedules, use of HT and other medications, smoking, and use of alcohol or drugs.
This latter approach allowed us to minimize gaps in regions associated with secondary structures.
In addition, this design also allowed us to minimize the presence of spurious positive signals (Figure 1B).
The combination of hybridizations also allowed us to minimize the calling of CNVs on spurious positive signals.
However, the weighting method used allows us to minimize the bias due to non-response which consequently minimizes risk of selection bias.
In practice, this optimum step-size control mechanism is inappropriate since it requires the knowledge of signals which are not available under real conditions, but it allows us to minimize the impact of a particular AFC implementation by providing useful information on the achievable AFC performance.
Moreover, the modal co-ordinates allow us to minimize the non-linearities localization problem.
When prices reflect the full social cost of consumption, it allows us to minimize the waste of resources — or as economists would put it, to maximize efficiency.
Furthermore, we can achieve reduced costs of individual OXC nodes, which allows us to minimize scalability problems corresponding to emerging fast switching fabrics.
