Recently, indirect immunofluorescence (IIF) automation for reading and interpretation of ANA and other autoantibodies was developed, supported by the American College of Rheumatology recommendation that IIF is the reference method for anti-nuclear-cytoplasmic antibodies (NCA or ANA) [21, 22], anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) [23], and anti-dsDNA antibodies (DNAAb).
Automation of autoantibody IIF reading including pattern recognition may improve intra- and inter-laboratory variability and meet the demand for cost-effective assessment of large numbers of samples.
This approach to automation is rather unconventional; most automation programs ("bots") function by reading data directly from the application's virtual address space.
This chapter describes the automation of the process of reading and classifying text documents using pattern recognition technology.
Workflow solutions allow the automation of numerous recurrent tasks, such as data reading / writing, filtering or visualisation, and some of them integrate chemistry functionalities.
Mr. Gates has said the machines will be used as note-takers for professionals in meetings, reading tools for next generation electronic books and automation tools for a range of workers, from doctors and nurses to sales representatives and delivery workers.
Queen Elizabeth essentially told him where to put his machine, and it would be two centuries more before significant automation came to the knitting industry.I was thinking of that while reading through Alex Tabarrok's ebook "Launching the Innovation Renaissance".
In other words, automation is the process of rendering the results more natural, with the computer as an unbiased neutral agent, reading nature directly, without conceptual mediations.
TR: Ember's customers are primarily in supply chain management, automated meter reading, and industrial and building automation.
For example, automation of slide reading for cervical cytology would introduce larger equipment and supply costs but would also reduce staff costs and change the capacity of the laboratory.
