A template for a logic synthesis command script is broken into smaller and functionally independent templates termed "micro-templates." Using micro-templates, logic synthesis time may be significantly reduced. Each micro-template may correspond to a particular synthesis operation and may be enabled or disabled. Where synthesis of a particular set of synthesis operations is desired, the micro-templates corresponding to those synthesis operations are enabled.

In an automated method system for coordinating navigations within two or more knowledge bases that would otherwise be functionally independent, context-continuity is maintained when an automated transfer is executed from a first knowledge base to a second knowledge base. The transfer is triggered by detection that the second knowledge base has a greater relevance to the user. As a result of the context-continuity, information acquired prior to the transfer is used to achieve a partial navigation within the second knowledge base. For embodiments involving Virtual Agents, the content-continuity includes simulating a continuation of dialog despite the transfer.

Disclosed herein is a sample-processing system that can improve total system processing efficiency, and reduce a sample-processing time, by establishing a functionally independent relationship between a rack conveyance block with rack supply, conveyance, and recovery functions, and a processing block with sample preprocessing, analysis, and other functions. A buffer unit with random accessibility to multiple racks standing by for processing is combined with each of multiple processing units to form a pair, and the system is constructed to load and unload racks into and from the buffer unit through the rack conveyance block so that one unprocessed rack is loaded into the buffer unit and then upon completion of process steps up to automatic retesting, unloaded from the buffer unit. Functional dependence between any processing unit and a conveyance unit is thus eliminated.

The invention is a method for detecting failures in an analyzer for conducting clinical assays. Potential errors that can result in assay failures in an analyzer are identified, as are their potential sources. The probability that an error source so identified will result in a clinically significant error is also determined. Available potential detection measures corresponding to the source of potential errors are identified with a combination of such measures selected and implemented based on their probability of detecting such errors within an acceptable limit with a concomitant low probability of the false detection of an assay failure. Each of the measures selected are functionally independent of others chosen to address the source of the error and are not subject to the same inherent means of failed detection. Applications of the method in a clinical analyzer are also presented.
