Abstract: This disclosure describes methods, non-transitory computer readable media, and systems that can facilitate execution of external workflows for diagnostic analysis of nucleotide sequencing data utilizing a container orchestration engine. For example, the disclosed systems can utilize a container orchestration engine to allow external systems (e.g., third-party systems) to generate and implement workflows for analyzing sequencing data. In executing individual workflow containers of a sequencing diagnostic workflow, the disclosed systems can isolate the workflow containers to prevent access to, or corruption of, other data while also orchestrating allocation of computing resources available at a genomic sequence processing device to execute the workflow containers.

Abstract: This disclosure describes methods, non-transitory computer readable media, and systems that can query the status of various stages in an end-to-end sequencing process and generate a graphical status summary for the sequencing process that depicts icons indicating statuses of the various stages. For instance, the disclosed systems can generate a graphical status summary for a nucleotide sequencing taskset that includes icons depicting statuses of a sequencing run, a data transfer of base-call data to a device for variant analysis, and the variant analysis—each part of the same nucleotide sequencing taskset. By exchanging data with a sequencing device for read data and one or more servers for variant analysis, the disclosed system can quickly provide a graphical status summary of an end-to-end sequencing process marked by various tasks within a nucleotide sequencing taskset.

Abstract: This disclosure describes methods, non-transitory computer readable media, and systems that can flexibly and efficiently change versions of a variant analysis model for different genomic analysis applications. For example, the disclosed systems can determine a particular version of a variant analysis model indicated by a genomic analysis application and can update a genomic analysis device (e.g., FPGA, CPU) by installing the indicated version of the variant analysis model. The disclosed systems can further execute a genomic analysis application to analyze nucleotide base calls utilizing the version of variant analysis model indicated by the genomic analysis application.

Abstract: A schema-based service for Internet access to per-user services data, wherein access to data is based on each user's identity. The service includes a schema that defines rules and a structure for each user's data, and also includes methods that provide access to the data in a defined way. The services schema thus corresponds to a logical document containing the data for each user. The user manipulates (e.g., reads or writes) data in the logical document by data access requests through defined methods. In one implementation, the services schemas are arranged as XML documents, and the services provide methods that control access to the data based on the requesting user's identification, defined role and scope for that role. In this way, data can be accessed by its owner, and shared to an extent determined by the owner.

Abstract: A protective sleeve cover is described for protecting anilox, gravure, or other costly rolls. The protective sleeve cover is cylindrical in geometry and has a means at one end for securing the cover to the roll being protected. The protective sleeve cover is readily mounted or demounted from the roll. Expansion tabs on the inner diameter of the protective sleeve cover create an interference fit with the roll being protected, causing the protective sleeve cover to deform and generate radial forces that enhance the gripping action of the protective sleeve cover to the roll. Friction pads can be added for enhanced gripping function with the roll.

Abstract: A dual use repeat builder assembly comprising a multiply inner sleeve with a bond layer surrounding its outer diameter for securing a compressible foam layer to the outer surface of the inner sleeve. A hard foam core is formed around the compressible foam layer using a mold cavity. After curing, the mold is removed and the ends of the hard foam core are machined creating cavity regions at each end. A notch insert is positioned at one or both of the cavity ends. A polymeric resin is poured into the cavities to form end caps. The outer surface of the hard foam and the end caps is machined to produce a smooth surface. An outer sleeve is mounted onto the hard foam core using compressed air with a resulting interference fit between the outer sleeve and the hard foam layer. Location of the end caps are such that holes can later be drilled through the wall thickness to convert the repeat builder to a bridge mandrel to enable mounting of thin sleeves to its outer surface.

Abstract: A bridge mandrel includes an inner sleeve assembly comprising the inner laminate and an outer laminate secured on each side of an intermediate hardened foam layer. The inner laminate is of multi-ply form with inner plies of base and adhesive layers separated from outer plies of base and adhesive layers by a compressible foam layer. The adhesive layers are made from high viscosity thermoplastic adhesive material. The intermediate layer is of segmented form with a radial gap between adjacent segments. A header is mounted to each end of the inner sleeve assembly.

Abstract: A hollow, porous, silica-rich fiber, a process for producing same, and a process for enriching at least one gas from a gaseous mixture utilizing at least one fiber to result in gas separations with good permeability and good selectivity. The fiber is non-crystalline and has pore sizes having a range of 1 to around 50 Angstroms in diameter and a mean pore size of around less than 20 Angstroms in diameter and a filament diameter in the range of 1 to around 250 microns and a wall thickness in the range of around 1 to 50 microns. The fibers with a fine pore structure and thin walls are produced by forming hollow glass fibers hindered or fully phase-separable boron and/or alkali metal glass composition, by attenuation from melt at speeds in the range of 500 ft/min to around 30,000 ft/min. The phase-separable glass fibers are heat treated to yield limited phase-separated hollow glass fibers and these fibers are leached to extract acid and/or water soluble components.

Abstract: A fluid separation device in the form of a cartridge is shown in which there is provided a fluid inlet to the cartridge, a distribution tube to feed fluid from the center of the cartridge outwardly across alternate layers of permeable membranes and glass fibers, rovings and strands and wherein the fibers are porous, hollow, or porous and hollow. The fibers are oriented parallel to each other and sealed at one end of the cartridge and open at the other end when hollow fibers are used. A vessel for housing the cartridge is also shown.

Abstract: A novel mat composite is shown in which a plurality of glass fibers, strands or rovings are carried on a fluid permeable sheet with two generally parallel ribbons of mastic on each side of the sheet inboard of the edges affixing the fibers, strands or rovings to the sheet and maintaining the fibers, strands and rovings generally parallel to each other.
