Abstract:
1. A system for detecting and transferring data pertaining to an unknown analyte, the system comprising: a device manager; a data capture module coupled to the device manager for capturing data pertaining to the unknown analyte at a first geographic location; a first data formatting module coupled to the device manager for formatting data captured by the data capture module into a transmissible format; a first input/output (I/O) module coupled to the device manager for transmitting data formatted by the first data formatting module to a processor at a second geographic location via a computer network; a processor manager; a data acquisition module coupled to the processor manager for receiving formatted data from the device manager; a second data formatting module coupled to the processor manager for decoding data received by the data acquisition module; a database interface module coupled to the processor manager for retrieving data of known analytes from an electronic library; an analysis module coupled to the processor manager for performing analysis on data decoded by the second data formatting module and generating an analysis result; and a second I/O module coupled to the processor manager for managing communications between the processor manager and other entities, wherein said device manager resides in a first device; and wherein said processor manager and said electronic library reside in a second device, and wherein said second device corresponds to a server connectable to said first device via the computer network.
