Abstract: The invention relates to carrier screening and methods for describing a structural variant, such as a large rearrangement or chromosomal abnormality, in a person's genome using probes that are designed to determine the person's genetic sequence and reveal substitution mutations and small structural variants. Identifying a structural variant may include exposing a nucleic acid to a plurality of probes. Each probe has a linked pair of targeting arms designed to hybridize upstream and downstream of a target in a genome. The method includes hybridizing two of the probes to the nucleic acid and attaching the two probes together to create an inter-probe product as well as detecting the inter-probe product and reporting a structural variant of the genome in the nucleic acid.

Abstract: Disclosed techniques include video performance rendering modification based on device rotation metric. A media stream is received from a server. The media stream is targeted for display on a handheld media stream playback device. An orientation of the handheld device is determined during playback of the media stream on the handheld device. A change in the orientation of the handheld device is detected. The change occurs during playback of the media stream. Based on the detecting the change of orientation, a rotation angle of the handheld device is calculated. Based on the rotation angle, the playback speed of the media stream on the handheld device is changed. The changing the playback speed changes direction of playback rendering based on the rotation angle of the handheld device. The changing direction provides forward playback by rotating the handheld device in a clockwise direction from an initial orientation.

Abstract: A method of producing an intermediate program representation for an executable personalised medicine treatment program, comprising: providing a domain specific language environment comprising a personalised-medicine programming language syntax and a user interface; selecting a medical knowledge database for a medical condition; receiving user input to build, using the personalised-medicine programming language syntax and the medical knowledge database, a treatment package for implementing one or more treatment modalities for the medical condition, the treatment package including: treatment objectives defining terminating conditions of the one or more treatment modalities; safety guardrails for ensuring patient safety; and treatment titration definitions for modulating the one or more treatment modalities; and validating the treatment package to demonstrate that the treatment objectives, safety guardrails and treatment titration definitions will be satisfied during execution of the personalised medicine treatm

Abstract: Systems and methods for predictive gift subscriptions are provided. A gift subscription service may store a gift subscription and a profile associated with a gift recipient. The gift subscription service may then identify a time to send a gift to the gift recipient and associate a computational model with the gift recipient and the profile. When the gift subscription service determines a change in the profile, the gift subscription service may then update the computational model associated with the gift recipient in real-time by applying a machine learning algorithm to the change in the profile and use the updated computation model to formulate a prediction for the gift recipient that may then be used to identify a set of gifts to present to the gift recipient. The gift subscription service may then present the set of gifts to the gift recipient.

Abstract: A fuel cell anode flow field includes at least one flow channel with a cross-sectional area that varies along at least a portion of its length. In some embodiments, the channel width decreases along at least a portion of the channel length according to a natural exponential function. This type of anode flow field can improve performance, reduce fuel consumption and/or reduce detrimental effects such as carbon corrosion and catalyst degradation, thereby improving fuel cell longevity and durability. When operating the fuel cell on either a substantially pure or a dilute fuel stream, this type of anode flow field can provide more uniform current density. These flow channels can be incorporated into reactant flow field plates, fuel cells and fuel cell stacks.

Abstract: Techniques for video manipulation based on an immersive video experience including rotation are disclosed. Parameters pertaining to a video are determined. Second parameters pertaining to a video display are determined. A minimum scale value is calculated to inscribe a rectangle within an oval based on a height and a width of the video. A height and a width of the video display define the rectangle. A gravity sensor input is preprocessed using a low-pass filter before using it to determine the minimum scale value. The video is preprocessed using a video inset and a viewport inset. The video can be trimmed, and the rectangle can be scaled. A rectangular portion of the video is rendered on the video display wherein the rectangular portion is on or inside the boundaries of the oval.
