  • Publication number: 20240404336
    Abstract: A system and method for using a portable device to communicate with a vehicle to authorize one or more vehicle operations. The portable device may authorize the vehicle to unlock/lock doors, start the vehicle engine, or mobilize the vehicle, or a combination thereof. The vehicle may include a vehicle transmitter system with one or more transmitters disposed at various locations on the vehicle, and the portable device may be configured to monitor a communication strength between the portable device and the one or more transmitters of the transmitter system. Based on the monitored signal strength, the portable device may determine location information about itself.

  • Patent number: 11646102
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for performing secondary analyses of nucleotide sequencing data in a time-efficient manner. Some embodiments include performing a secondary analysis iteratively while sequence reads are generated by a sequencing system. Secondary analyses can encompass both alignment of sequence reads to a reference sequence (e.g., the human reference genome sequence) and utilization of this alignment to detect differences between a sample and the reference. Secondary analysis can enable detection of genetic differences, variant detection and genotyping, identification of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), small insertions and deletion (indels) and structural changes in the DNA, such as copy number variants (CNVs) and chromosomal rearrangements.

  • Publication number: 20070276203
    Abstract: A method is provided for improving the health status of members of an entity by using a program in which members may enroll. The method includes publicizing to members a pool of rewards available to those who enroll in the program. For each enrolled member, a target physiological condition is established and successive physiological measurements related to the condition are obtained over a period of time. The target physiological condition and the successive physiological measurements are stored in a digital computer system and a computer process is used to determine and store a score of such member's proximity to the target physiological condition based on each such measurement. An award from the pool to one or more enrolled members is granted based on their scores at the end of the period.
