SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PRODUCING CHEMICAL ARRAY LAYOUTS
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer-based system for producing an array layout, said system comprising:
- (A) an input manager for receiving array request information from a user;
(B) a processing module comprising;
(i) an array set developer configured to;
(a) identify a total number of features required to array display a selected portion of probe content of array request information; and
(b) evaluate whether said identified total number of features exceeds a single array format feature number limit to determine whether a single array format or an array set of two or more array formats is required to array display said total number of features to provide an array set decision; and
(ii) an array layout developer having a memory comprising a plurality of rules relating to array layout design, wherein said array layout developer is configured to develop an array set layout for an array set of two or more array formats based on application of one or more of plurality of rules to information that includes array request information received from a user and said array set decision; and
(C) an output manager for providing a first version of said array set layout to said user.

39. A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon, wherein said computer program, when loaded onto a computer, operates said computer to:
-
(a) receive chemical array request information from a user; (b) develop an array set layout based on said received information and an array set decision by applying one or more array layout design rules to said received information and array set decision; and (c) provide said array set layout to a user.
