  • Publication number: 20220195526
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system and method for increasing the fidelity of measured genetic data, for making allele calls, and for determining the state of aneuploidy, in one or a small set of cells, or from fragmentary DNA, where a limited quantity of genetic data is available. Poorly or incorrectly measured base pairs, missing alleles and missing regions are reconstructed using expected similarities between the target genome and the genome of genetically related individuals. In accordance with one embodiment, incomplete genetic data from an embryonic cell are reconstructed at a plurality of loci using the more complete genetic data from a larger sample of diploid cells from one or both parents, with or without haploid genetic data from one or both parents. In another embodiment, the chromosome copy number can be determined from the measured genetic data, with or without genetic information from one or both parents.

  • Publication number: 20220189921
    Abstract: A stacked die system includes at least three dies. A first die has a same design as a second die. The first die includes a first circuit, and the second die includes a corresponding second circuit. A signal is received at the first die and sent to the third die via the second die. The signal is routed through either the first circuit or the second circuit but not both. Accordingly, an operation is performed on the signal prior to the signal reaching the third die but the operation is not performed by both the first circuit and the second circuit.

  • Publication number: 20220176846
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) flight planning. One of the methods includes receiving a location for an aerial survey to be conducted by a UAV. One or more images depicting the location are obtained, and a geofence boundary to limit flight of the UAV is determined. A survey area is determined, and a flight data package is created for transmission that includes information describing a flight plan. After the flight plan is conducted, flight log data and sensor data are received. The flight log data and sensor data are processed, and at least a portion of the processed sensor data is displayed.

  • Publication number: 20220155395
    Abstract: First k-space data are received for a MRI examination of a subject in a first field of view (FOV), and second k-space data are received for a second field of view that is adjacent to or overlaps the first field of view. Alternatively, second k-space data, comprising phase and/or slice oversampling k-space data of the first field of view are retrieved from a non-transitory data storage medium. The first k-space data are reconstructed by using at least a portion of the second k-space data as phase and/or slice oversampling to generate a first extended image of a first extended field of view that encompasses the first field of view and extends into the second field of view. The first extended image is cropped to the first field of view to generate an image of the first field of view for the first MRI examination.

  • Patent number: 11325335
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method and apparatus for forming pellets in a non-ambient environment such as a strong magnetic field. The apparatus includes a die body, a die bottom, a short push pin, a long push pin, a press tube, and an extended push pin. A powder is loaded into the die body, which is then positioned in the non-ambient environment, and the powder allowed to equilibrate. A pellet is then formed by pressing on the extended push pin while the powder is in the non-ambient environment.

  • Patent number: 11318358
    Abstract: Golf club heads are provided for selectively increasing or optimizing the coefficient of restitution (COR) at likely impact locations on the striking face of the golf club heads, while simultaneously maintaining characteristic time (CT) below a threshold value in those likely impact locations. By analyzing historical impact locations of a large cross-section of golfers, golf club head COR values can be increased or optimized in preferential locations on the striking face, such as using weighting factors for a predefined set of locations on the striking face. Therefore, instead of increasing COR uniformly across the face and/or increasing COR at impact locations on the face where golfers are unlikely to strike the golf ball, the sweet spot of the golf club head can be increased at the impact locations where golfers typically strike the golf ball.

  • Publication number: 20220119428
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for phospholipidation of imidazoquinolines and oxoadenines. More particularly, the present invention relates to a high-yielding and scalable procedure for the phospholipidation of imidazoquinolines and oxoadenines which obviates the need to isolate unstable phosphoramidite intermediates. This process may be used for the phospholipidation of toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7)—active and toll-like receptor (TLR8)—active imidazoquinolines and oxoadenines.

  • Publication number: 20220119134
    Abstract: A payload mounting system including a launch vehicle attach structure with radial ports, payloads, and a moment transmitting structure. The payloads attach to the radial ports. The moment transmitting structure attaches to the payloads surrounding said launch vehicle attach structure to minimize the moment transmitted to the radial ports thus maximizing the launch mass capability of the launch vehicle attach structure. The payload mounting system presents a novel evolved expendable launch vehicle (EELV) secondary payload adapter (ESPA) port small payload mounting system that permits maximum mass utilization of each ESPA ports without regard to center of gravity constraints. In one or more embodiments, the payload mounting system enables to connect, in the unused central volume of an ESPA ring, the adjacent faces of at least two payloads on opposing sides of an ESPA ring with a cross-reaching moment transmitting structure that reduces moments transmitted to the ESPA ring.
