Abstract: A method for growing nanocrystalline diamond (NCD) on Ga2O3 to provide thermal management in Ga2O3-based devices. A protective SiNx interlayer is deposited on the Ga2O3 before growth of the NCD layer to protect the Ga2O3 from damage caused during growth of the NCD layer. The presence of the NCD provides thermal management and enables improved performance of the Ga2O3-based device.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of analysing genetic data about an organism comprising receiving a plurality of input units. Each input unit comprises information about the association between genetic variants in a region of the genome and phenotypes or phenotype combinations. The method comprises carrying out iterations comprising, for each variant determining for which of the phenotypes or phenotype combinations the variant is causal based on the input units. If the variant is causal for phenotypes or phenotype combinations, a sampled effect size is determined of the variant on the phenotypes or phenotype combinations based on the input units and information about correlations between the variants in the region. For each variant, a prediction effect size is determined variant on the phenotypes or phenotype combinations based on an average across the iterations of the sampled effect sizes or of posterior effect sizes calculated using the sampled effect sizes.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of analysing genetic data about an organism comprising receiving a plurality of input units. Each input unit comprises information about the association between genetic variants in a region of the genome and a target phenotype. One or more iterations are carried out comprising, for each variant, determining whether the variant is causal for the target phenotype. If the variant is causal, a sampled effect size is determined for each input unit based on the input units and correlations between the plurality of genetic variants in the region. The sampled effect size is non-zero for all of the input units. For each variant, a prediction effect size is determined for each input unit based on an average across the iterations of the sampled effect sizes for the input unit or of posterior effect sizes for the input unit calculated using the sampled effect sizes.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments of a food safety management system, including interfaces for management and reporting and a handheld computing device for checklist completion. A checklist of tasks to be performed in a food service establishment is obtained and displayed on a touchscreen of the handheld computing device. Confirmation is obtained on the touchscreen whether a task has been completed. An identifier at a location in the food service establishment is inputted to verify that a task has been completed. Temperature readings are obtained from one or more stationary sensors monitoring a food storage environment. Task completion data and temperature data are sent to a server.

Abstract: Providing authentication servers (e.g. a RADIUS server) combined with a distributed data store (e.g. a memory cache) for storing a time-limited trust relationship message to establish/enable a time-limited trust between the authentication servers during network roaming of a user device. This circumvents the need for the traditional method of synchronous authentication messaging sequences, permitting transmission of authentication messaging sequences in a more time-efficient asynchronous manner.

Abstract: Methods are disclosed for analysing genetic data about an organism. In one arrangement, input units are derived from studies that provide information about the association between genetic variants and phenotypes. Input units are assigned to one of a plurality of clusters, based on an assessment of the extent to which input units share genetic variants that affect any aspect of the phenotype corresponding to each input unit or any of the underlying biological mechanisms of the phenotype, thereby identifying phenotypes that share underlying biological mechanisms.

Abstract: A method in a communications network for connecting to the network a subscriber apparatus from amongst a plurality of subscriber apparatuses to a respective network portal apparatus from amongst a plurality of network portal apparatuses. The method includes providing a portal aggregation server (7) storing a plurality of network portal addresses associated with the plurality of the network portal apparatuses (12, 13, 14) and a plurality of subscriber identifiers which each identify a respective one of the plurality of subscriber apparatuses. The method further includes the step, performed at the portal aggregation server, of receiving from a subscriber apparatus (2) a connection request to connect to the network. The request comprises a subscriber identifier associated with the subscriber apparatus. The method includes mapping the received subscriber identifier to a network portal address, and redirecting the connection request to the network portal address so mapped.

Abstract: A method evaluates printhead position in a staggered full width array (SFWA) printhead assembly. The method includes selecting a first printhead configuration for printing a first test pattern on an image receiving member, generating positional correction data for roll and stitch displacements obtained from captured image data of the first test pattern, comparing the positional correction data to at least one threshold in a displacement range, and operating at least one printhead actuator in accordance with the positional correction data in response to the positional correction data exceeding at least one predetermined threshold in the displacement range.

Abstract: Described herein is a printing system including a plurality of print processing modules which can selectively transfer print media there between during printing. The system further including a controller that can predict the impending unhealthy state of at least one module and redirect one of an unprocessed job and a partially processed job preemptively from an impending unhealthy module to selectively one of a healthy module and another unhealthy module, with suitable characteristics, to process unprocessed portions of the job.

Abstract: A printing system comprises a paper path architecture for parallel printing using multiple marking engines. The media path configuration enables all the media feed trays to be located in one place, relative to the marking engines. A cross-over module is located between marking engines. The cross-over module can interleave media sheets that are being transported away from a first marking engine with the sheets being transported to the second marking engine. The cross-over module also includes a straight through path that enables media sheets to be transported directly to a finishing device without going through either marking engine. The marking engines include internal duplex loops such that media can be supplied to each engine in alternate groups. A merge module selectively merges the media which can then be further processed in a finishing transition module prior to communication to a finishing device.
