The way we look at IP is strategically, not as an after-the-fact activity. We spend a lot of time developing and purchasing data-mining technology, so we can look at the topography in order to know where we want to land.

Industrial safety applications are another area benefiting from the adoption of Data Mining technology. Materials and processes may need to be classified in terms of their industrial and environmental safety. This approach, as opposed to experimentation, is designed to reduce the cost and time scale of safe product development. 

Such questions are difficult to answer, as several hundred machine settings and raw material parameters have to be taken into account as potential influencing factors. Data mining technologies based on neuronal networks, expert systems or algebraic methods are used to find the requested answers. Algebraic methods are in many cases not sufficient, as these can deal only with numbers (process values) but not with cardinal data Hke felt supplier, ash suppKer, etc. which are also of high importance.

The analyze phase of the project consists of the activities which are typically associated with , including identification and assessment of potential sensor technologies, method development, qualification, and validation. In addition, designed experiments (DOE) or data-mining exercises may be performed to... 

All four of the proteomic technologies mentioned above (2D-PAGE, HPLC, MS, and protein arrays) are dependent on the use of bioinformatics as a tool for data mining and elucidation. Often, MS runs generate lists of thousands of potential peptide biomarkers, and only with the help of dedicated software tools can the data be analyzed. Computer searches involving databanks of peptides and proteins are used to compare the lists of masses of the proteolytic peptides to theoretical proteolytic products. Matches between the observed mass and the calculated mass can serve as a way of identifying proteins of interest [28-32],... 

Developments in mass spectrometry technology, together with the availability of extensive DNA and protein sequence databases and software tools for data mining, has made possible rapid and sensitive mass spectrometry-based procedures for protein identification. Two basic types of mass spectrometers are commonly used for this purpose Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI)-time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometry (MS) and electrospray ionization (ESI)-MS. MALDI-TOF instruments are now quite common in biochemistry laboratories and are very simple to use, requiring no special training. ESI instruments, usually coupled to capillary/nanoLC systems, are more complex and require expert operators. We will therefore focus on the use of MALDI-...
