Abstract: For high sequencing throughput, circuitry can compress read data generated in real-time by a sequencing device. Various compression techniques can be used. A stream of raw data can be processed to generate raw read data stream. The raw read data stream may include sub-streams of data comprising a header data sub-stream, a basecall sub-stream, and a quality score sub-stream. The sub-streams can be extracted and compressed using separate threads, and the compressed data can be recombined. Sequence reads corresponding to different copies of the same nucleic acid molecule may be clustered and used to generate a consensus read. The number of sequence reads that are used to generate the consensus read can be limited to a threshold when a consensus read is substantially accurate. After the limit is reached, data from any new raw read data corresponding to the same nucleic acid molecule may be discarded.

Abstract: A device for flow equalization of a liquid cooling system of battery energy storage comprises a plurality of battery modules in parallel, each of the battery modules being connected to the liquid cooling system, and being provided with a cooling-fluid feeding inlet, wherein a throttle pipe is provided in the feeding inlet, the throttle pipe is provided with a flow restriction orifice, and the cooling fluids that enter the feeding inlets are adjusted by the throttle pipes to equal pressures. The device can enable the liquid cooling system to more uniformly distribute the flow rates of the cooling fluids among battery sub-packs or modules, thereby ensuring that the battery system operates at more uniform environmental temperatures, to reduce the difference in the performances of the modules, and prolong the service lives of the batteries.

Abstract: A computer-implemented technique is described for using an automation tool to facilitate the preparation of a summary document, such as an expense report. In a first data path, a receipt-processing component generates receipt items based on images of physical receipts that a user captures using a camera. In a second data path, one or more transaction-processing systems forward transaction items to the automation tool upon their capture; the transaction items correspond to electronic records of transactions made by the user. The technique then generates a set of receipt-transaction (R-T) pairings by matching pairs of receipt items and transaction items that describe the same respective transactions. The technique then uses context information to supplement the R-T pairings, and generates a summary document that summarizes transactions made by the user based on the supplemented R-T pairings. In one case, the context information corresponds to calendar information specified in a user's electronic calendar.
