  • Patent number: 8086410
    Abstract: A method for detecting DNA variation. First, by aligning trace data of a sample DNA sequence to trace data of a reference DNA sequence to produce an aligned sample DNA sequence. Then, inputting the trace data of the bases of both the reference DNA sequence and the aligned sample DNA sequence for a particular frame number into a non-linear mathematical function of an anti-correlation calculation scheme for all the frame numbers. Minimal values will be produced at the particular frame number for DNA base trace data of the aligned sample DNA sequence which are not a variation as compared to the reference DNA sequence. Values above the minimal values will be produced at the particular frame number for DNA base trace data of the aligned sample DNA sequence which are a variation as compared to the reference DNA sequence.

  • Patent number: 8082642
    Abstract: An articulating head that includes a linear movement assembly. There is a pivot plate that includes a first connection point. There is a pivot arm rotatably attached to the pivot plate. The pivot arm has a second connection point. There is a linear movement assembly mounted to and between the first connection point of the pivot plate and the second connection point of the pivot arm to cause rotation of the pivot arm about the pivot plate. The linear movement assembly comprises a threaded rod mounted as a screw, a nut which threads onto the screw and a motor interconnected to one of the screw and nut to cause motion between the screw and the nut. The screw and the nut are mounted between the pivot plate and the pivot arm, whereby the motion induced between the screw and nut causes the pivot arm to rotate about the pivot plate.
