Abstract: A method for generating a query of a genomic data store includes receiving, by a query generator executing on a computing device, from a graphical user interface, an identification of a first entity of a first entity class for inclusion in a resource description framework (RDF) query. The method includes receiving from the graphical user interface, an identification of a second entity of the first entity class, the second entity having a bi-directional relationship with the first entity. The method includes automatically generating an RDF query based upon the received identification of the first entity and the received identification of the second entity. The method includes executing the RDF query to select, from a plurality of genomic data sets, at least one genomic data set for at least one patient cohort. The method includes providing a listing of genomic data sets resulting from executing the RDF query.

Abstract: A coextrusion apparatus for producing a multilayer film or sheet of diverse thermoplastic materials has a slit die and a feedblock assembly integrated into the die. The assembly includes a removable feedblock received within a cavity of the die and has a plurality of slotted, layer distribution passages opening into a coathanger-type expansion chamber via a shallow entrance section. The passages are mutually spaced apart and lie parallel to the slotted outlet of the die.

Abstract: Apparatus for successively winding continuous strips of material into rolls includes one or a pair of spaced outstanding guide frames each having an outer frame member and an inner frame member defining upper and lower horizontal tracks for guiding slide bearings coupled to winding shafts. The inner frame member comprises a shiftable rectangular bar which is shifted rearwardly to define a forward vertical guide track interconnecting the horizontal tracks, and which is shifted forwardly to define a rearward vertical track interconnecting the horizontal tracks.

Abstract: An extrusion die having an adjustable lip opening through which thermoplastic material is forced to form a flat sheet. Fine adjustment of the lip is effected thermally and without play by the provision of an element or a heating or cooling block which braces the lip. Coarse adjustment is effected manually, and without play, by operation of a pair of bolts. One bolt axially shifts the block, and the other bolt tightens the block against the die body.
