  • Publication number: 20240084380
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides compositions and related methods, e.g., for preparing immobilized nucleic acid nanostructures using compaction oligonucleotides. In some embodiments, rolling circle amplification reaction can be conducted with compaction oligonucleotides on-support or in-solution to generate concatemer molecules having multiple copies of a polynucleotide unit arranged in tandem. Each polynucleotide unit comprises a sequence-of-interest and at least one universal adaptor sequence that binds one end of a compaction oligonucleotide. The 5? and 3? regions of the compaction oligonucleotide can hybridize to the concatemer to pull together distal portions of the concatemer causing compaction of the concatemer to form a nanostructure. Nanostructures having tighter size and shape compared to concatemers generated in the absence of the compaction oligonucleotides.

  • Patent number: 11927664
    Abstract: In one example, a radar circuit uses computer processing circuitry for processing data corresponding to reflection signals via a sparse array. Output data indicative of signal magnitude associated with the reflection signals is generated, and then angle-of-arrival information is discerned therefrom by (e.g., iteratively): correlating the output data with at least one spatial frequency support vector indicative of a correlation peak for the output data; generating upper-side and lower-side support vectors which are neighbors along the spatial frequency spectrum for said at least one spatial frequency support vector, and providing, via a correlation of the upper-side and lower-side support vectors and said at least one spatial frequency support vector, at least one new vector that is more refined along the spatial frequency spectrum for said at least one spatial frequency support vector.

  • Publication number: 20240074817
    Abstract: A method for tracking a surgical robotic tool being viewed by an endoscopic camera, images of the surgical tool are received from the endoscopic camera and surgical tool joint angle measurements are received from the surgical tool. Predetermined features of the surgical tool on the images of the surgical tool are detected to define an observation model to be employed by a Bayesian Filter. A lumped error transform and observable joint angle measurement errors are estimated using the Bayesian Filter. The lumped error transform compensates for errors in a base-to-camera transform and non-observable joint angle measurement errors. Pose information over time of the surgical tool is determined with respect to the endoscopic camera using kinematic information of the robotic tool, the surgical tool joint angle measurements, the lumped error transform and the observable joint angle measurement errors. The pose information is provided to a surgical application.

  • Publication number: 20240080643
    Abstract: Methods are described for dynamically managing device locationing groups. According to some aspects, mobile devices may be tracked on a group basis, e.g., as opposed to being tracking on an individual basis. For example, location information for each of a plurality of mobile devices may be received at a location group server (LGS) and the LGS may determine (e.g., based on the location information) that each of the plurality of devices are in a physical location. One or more location group operations may be triggered by the location group server (e.g., based on determining that each of the plurality of devices are in the physical location) and the LGS may receive a location update from a device of the plurality of mobile devices (e.g., wherein the location update is not received from a remainder of the plurality of mobile devices).
