Patent number: 11929145Abstract: Technology provided herein relates in part to methods, processes, machines and apparatuses for non-invasive assessment of genetic alterations. In particular, a method is provided for that includes obtaining a set of sequence reads. The sequence reads each include a single molecule barcode (SMB) sequence that is a non-random oligonucleotide sequence. The method further includes assigning the sequence reads to read groups according to a read group signature. The read group signature comprises an SMB sequence and a start and end position of a nucleic acid fragment from the circulating cell free sample nucleic acid. The sequence reads comprising start and end positions and an SMB sequence similar to the read group signature are assigned to a read group. The method further includes generating a consensus for each read group, and determining the presence or absence of a genetic alteration based on the consensus for each read group.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2018Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: SEQUENOM, INCInventors: Mostafa Azab, Michael Sykes, Youting Sun, Amin Mazloom, Taylor Jensen, Mathias Ehrich, Christopher Ellison

Patent number: 9996612Abstract: Herein, a display device, system and method are described for identifying digital content through comparison of one or more audio thumbnails when the digital content is provided without metadata. According to one embodiment, a display device comprises a display, audio conversion logic and a transceiver. The audio conversion logic is adapted to produce one or more audio thumbnails, which are compact representations of a snippet of audio from that incoming digital content without the metadata. The transceiver is adapted to transmit the one or more audio thumbnails in order to (i) retrieve metadata associated with the digital content from an external source separate from a source of the digital content and (ii) display information provided by the metadata on the display.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2007Date of Patent: June 12, 2018Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Brant Candelore, Robert Hardacker, Christopher Jensen Read

Patent number: 9798279Abstract: A fuser heater within a printing device includes a substrate with conductive traces and a resistive trace having a first end and a second end. The resistive trace is connected to the conductive traces at each of the first end and the second end and forms an electrical connection between the conductive traces and the resistive trace. A first strip is printed on the substrate using a first metal ink. A second strip is printed on the substrate using a second metal ink. The second strip is in contact with the first strip. The first metal ink is different from the second metal ink. The first strip and the second strip form a thermocouple. The thermocouple is operatively attached to the conductive traces. A controller operatively attached to the thermocouple controls the temperature of the fuser heater.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2015Date of Patent: October 24, 2017Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Christopher A.

Patent number: 9224197Abstract: A system and method are provided for employing a unique optical roll scanning technique, scheme or process for detecting and identifying periodic surface defects associated with rolls usable in image production devices. An apparatus is provided for mounting the roll to implement an inspection technique that facilitates forming an image of a surface of the roll by rotating the roll through an entire cycle above a full width scanner device. The formed image of the surface of the scanned roll is filtered and analyzed particularly by applying a Fourier analysis technique, and/or by subjecting the filtered image data to a series of fast Fourier transforms (FFTs), potentially including 2D FFTs. The analysis process allows detected periodic defects in the formed image of the surface of the roll under analysis to be characterized by a magnitude of a response in a spatial frequency domain.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2013Date of Patent: December 29, 2015Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventor: Christopher Jensen
