Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic adaptability by enabling the system to automatically adjust its analytical approach based on the characteristics of the input data. The software detects whether responses are linear or nonlinear and dynamically selects appropriate mathematical models and calibration methods, allowing the system to handle diverse data types without requiring users to understand the underlying mathematics

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs parameter changes by transforming the analytical approach based on data characteristics. When nonlinear responses are detected, the system automatically applies nonlinear regression techniques, polynomial fitting, or machine learning algorithms instead of simple linear calibration, thereby maintaining high prediction accuracy across different response types without increasing operational complexity

AI summary

A method of analysis, analysis system, apparatus, program product and method of supplying analysis of value that incorporates at least one data acquisition device, a central processor which may be located in the cloud with storage capacity and user-friendly interface on any web-enabled device with a communication link between the data acquisition device and the central processor and the central processor and the user interface on a web-enabled device. In the central processor, models of calibration predict values of the properties of interest; a classifier interrogates data to minimize errors in cases that the response variable is nonlinear by writing equations to follow each data segment; and a quantifier associates a data class with a specific pre-determined calibration model to compute specific parameters of interest. Results of analysis can be determined on the user interface at multiple stages of the analysis.
