Abstract: A method and system for determining interaction sites between biosequences is described herein. A dataset of contact data for a plurality of biomolecule pairs is obtained to account their frequency of occurrence. Statistical weights are obtained for each frequency of occurrence. A statistical vector space (SRV) is decomposed through principal component decomposition. The r-vectors of the SRV are re-projected back to a new SRV with a new set of SR coordinates. A feature vector is generated and inputted into a predictor for outputting a likelihood of an interaction site. A method and system for determining significant attribute-value associations (AVAs) from relational datasets is also described. A frequency of occurrence of attribute value pairs and statistical weights may be obtained for each frequency of occurrence. Principal component decomposition and re-projection of AVA vectors may also be performed. The disentangle SR of AVAs could be used to identify AVA related to subgroups/classes.

Abstract: Adaptive write operations for non-volatile memories select programming parameters according to monitored programming performance of individual memory cells. In one embodiment of the invention, programming voltage for a memory cell increases by an amount that depends on the time required to reach a predetermined voltage and then a jump in the programming voltage is added to the programming voltage required to reach the next predetermined voltage. The adaptive programming method is applied to the gate voltage of memory cells; alternatively, it can be applied to the drain voltage of memory cells along a common word line. A circuit combines the function of a program switch and drain voltage regulator, allowing independent control of drain voltage of selected memory cells for parallel and adaptive programming. Verify and adaptive read operations use variable word line voltages to provide optimal biasing of memory and reference cells during sensing.
