  • Patent number: 12387821
    Abstract: A system for providing structural variation or phasing information is provided. The system accesses a nucleic acid sequence dataset corresponding to a target nucleic acid in a sample. The dataset comprises a header, synopsis, and data section. The data section comprises a plurality of sequencing reads. Each sequencing read comprises a first portion corresponding to a subset of the target nucleic acid and a second portion that encodes an identifier for the sequencing read from a plurality of identifiers. One or more programs in the memory of the system use a microprocessor of the system to provide a haplotype visualization tool that receives a request for structural variation or phasing information from the dataset. The request is evaluated against the synopsis thereby identifying portions of the data section. Structural variation or phasing information is formatted for display in the haplotype visualization tool using the identified portions of the data section.

  • Publication number: 20230137904
    Abstract: A weight support device includes a sensor grid that measures pressure data while a user is on the weight support device. The weight support device is connected to a computer that analyzes the pressure data and generates a virtual figure to represent the user. Based on the pressure data, the computer determines how the user moves and adjusts relative positions of segments in the virtual figure that represent various body parts corresponding to the movements of the user. The relative positions of the segments may be determined based on a kinematic model. The virtual figure is presented on a display (e.g., in a video) to illustrate how the user moved.

  • Publication number: 20220076142
    Abstract: Systems and methods for selecting unlabeled data for building and improving the performance of a learning machine are disclosed. In an aspect, such a system may include a reference learning machine, a set of labeled data, and a learning machine analyzer. The learning machine analyzer is configured to receive the reference learning machine and the set of labeled data as inputs and analyze the inner working of the reference learning machine to produce a selected set of unlabeled data. In an aspect, the learning machine analyzer identifies and measures a relation between different input data samples and finds all pairwise relations to construct a relational graph. In an aspect, the relational graph visualizes how much the different input data samples are like each other in higher dimensions inside the reference learning machine.
