Abstract: In one exemplary embodiment, a method for detecting variants in electropherogram data is provided. The method includes receiving electropherogram data from an instrument and analyzing the electropherogram data to identify mixed bases in the electropherogram data. The method further includes identifying features within the electropherogram data indicative of errors and validating the identified mixed bases. Then the method includes determining variants in the electropherogram data based on the validated mixed bases.

Abstract: An adapter for facilitating the use of a device, such as an inclinometer, to measure the angular inclination of components in a vehicular drive train system is disclosed. The adapter includes a rectangular bracket having a flat upper surface and a lower surface. The bracket includes first and second legs extending from the lower surface and terminating in respective flat end surfaces. The end surfaces define a plane which is precisely parallel to the flat upper surface of the bracket. The inclinometer may be mounted in one of two different orientations on the flat upper surface of the bracket. The legs are spaced apart a predetermined distance to allow the end surfaces to engage flats machined on the surface of a full round end yoke of a universal joint without interference from the end flange portion of the bearing cap.

Abstract: An adapter for facilitating the use of a device, such as an inclinometer, for measuring the angular inclination of components in a vehicular drive train system is disclosed. The adapter includes an L-shaped bracket having a generally cylindrical head portion secured thereto. The bracket includes long and short legs, each of which are defined by parallel surfaces. The parallel surfaces of the long leg are perpendicular to the parallel surfaces of the short leg. The inclinometer may be mounted in any one of several different orientations on either of the surfaces of the long leg. The head portion has a closed end, which is secured to the bracket, and an opened, which is adapted to engage an end surface of a universal joint bearing cap. The opened end has a plurality of slots formed therein which define axial extensions. The extensions permit the adaptor to be used when the universal joint is mounted in a half round end yoke having integral end lugs.
