  • Publication number: 20220065849
    Abstract: A method for identifying cognate pairs of a ligand species and a receptor species includes co-compartmentalizing ligand species and receptor species, forming a set of microreactors, each microreactor including a ligand species and preferably a receptor species; assaying the recognition between ligands and receptors in each microreactor and based on this assay, classifying each microreactor as positive when a ligand species and receptor species in the microreactor recognize one with the other or negative when no ligand species and no receptor species recognize in the microreactor; identifying ligand species and receptor species contained in each positive microreactor; establishing a subset of positive microreactors containing the same receptor species; determining the probability that the ligand species recognizing the receptor species corresponds to the most frequent co-compartmentalized ligand species.

  • Patent number: 10360044
    Abstract: Systems for management of a large computing cluster. A set of computing nodes within the cluster are identified. The identified nodes are to be reimaged with an operating system image and parameters. One or more reimaging algorithms in the form of computer code are stored in a networked storage device within a storage pool that comprises the networked storage device and a plurality of local storage devices that correspond to respective individual ones of the set of computing nodes. An agent that can execute the reimaging algorithm code is configured to run on any one of the set of computing nodes, wherein the agent is further configured to retrieve reimaging data from a storage device that is within the storage pool. An agent running on a leader node initiates reimaging of a second node. The second node initiates reimaging of a third node. The third node reimages the leader node.
