Abstract: Described herein is a bifurcated continuous field-flow fractionation (BCFFF) chip for high-yield and high-throughput nucleic acid extraction and purification. BCFFF uses a membrane ionic transistor to sustain low-ionic strength in a localized region at a junction, such that the resulting high field can selectively isolate high-charge density nucleic acids from the main flow channel and insert them into a standardized buffer in a side channel that bifurcates from the junction. The BCFFF platform can be used for isolation of both long dsDNAs and short miRNAs, without changing the device configuration or the operation protocol. BCFFF results in high-efficiency (>85%) concentration-independent DNA extraction and 40% net qRT-PCR miRNA yield from plasma, which is significantly higher than any other commercial liquid and solid extraction technologies.

Abstract: Described herein are methods and compositions for point of care droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) using large uniform droplets that can be visually analyzed for detection. In one embodiment, the ddPCR reaction is prepared by dispensing a plurality of large uniform droplets using a modified pipette tip having a specific aspect ratio and one or more surfactants in the aqueous phase.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method receives a video and information for entities that appear in the video. The video is played in a media player without displaying a queue configured to display one or more entities. When an input is received to display the queue while playing the video, the method performs: determining a set of entities in relation to a time associated with playing the video using the information for the entities that appear in the video and displaying the set of entities in the queue, wherein the video continues to play in the media player while the queue is displayed.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method determines known features for existing face tracks that have identity labels and builds a database using these features. The face tracks may have multiple different views of a face. Multiple features from the multiple faces may be taken to build the face models. For an unlabeled face track without identity information, the method determines its sampled features and finds labeled nearest neighbor features with respect to multiple feature spaces from the face models. For each face in the unlabeled face track, the method decomposes the face as a linear combination of its neighbors from the known features from the face models. Then, the method determines weights for the known features to weight the coefficients of the known features. Particular embodiments use a non-linear weighting function to learn the weights that provides more accurate labels.

Abstract: A system and method provide compressing an input color image using selected color samples of the input image. The image compression method comprises accessing the input color image and generating a grayscale image and color channel images from the input image. The method compresses the grayscale image and segments the color channel images into multiple image segments. For each color channel of the input image, the method selects a number of color samples for each image segment and compresses the selected color samples. From the compressed grayscale image and selected color samples, the method generates a compressed input color image.
