Abstract: A sequencing data analysis platform can process datasets that include a large number of sequence read. The reads are aligned to one or more reference genomes. Due to sequencing errors, sequencing noise, or genuine differences between a reference genome and the individual species being sequenced, this mapping process may tolerate a certain number of mismatches, insertions, or deletions. The sequencing data analysis platform provides a set of tools for analyzing and visualizing the sequence reads.

Abstract: A single stage unequal power combiner is proposed. Instead of conventional combiner plus impedance transformer of 2-stage unequal combiner, the single stage combiner gets rid of the input impedance transformer. The single stage combiner supports adjustable transmission line impedance and reasonable mismatch loss, assuming that the power ratio of the input signals is within a certain range. The single stage combiner also has an adjustable isolation resistor for different power ratios. A structure of switchable branch characteristic impedance, switchable isolation resistor for the unequal combiner is proposed as the preferred embodiment. In one advantageous aspect, broader coverage angle in a single array module can be realized via an antenna diversity switch.

Abstract: Ultrasound imaging is a non-invasive, non-radioactive, and low cost technology for diagnosis and identification of implantable medical devices in real time. Developing new ultrasound activated coatings is important to broaden the utility of in vivo marking by ultrasound imaging. Ultrasound responsive macro-phase segregated micro-composite thin films were developed to be coated on medical devices composed of multiple materials and with multiple shapes and varying surface area. The macro-phase segregated films having silica micro-shells in polycyanoacrylate produces strong color Doppler signals with the use of a standard clinical ultrasound transducer. Electron microscopy showed a macro-phase separation during slow curing of the cyanoacrylate adhesive, as air-filled silica micro-shells were driven to the surface of the film. The air sealed in the hollow space of the silica shells acted as an ultrasound contrast agent and echo decorrelation of air exposed to ultrasound waves produces color Doppler signals.
