  • Patent number: 12139250
    Abstract: An avionics system can provide data to a first receiving component associated with a proprietary first protocol and a second receiving component associated with a non-proprietary second protocol. A configuration tool generates a first configuration file comprising instructions for a data access component to provide a first data output to the first receiving component, and a second data output to the second receiving component. The configuration tool can generate a second configuration file including instructions to convert the second data output. The data access component can receive a definition database defining the first protocol to convert the data according to the non-proprietary second protocol. The data access component can provide the requested data to the first and second receiving components in accordance with the non-proprietary second protocol. The second receiving component is configured convert the data received based on the second configuration file.

  • Publication number: 20240326049
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an assembly and a corresponding method for performing a combined assay of nucleic acid purification and amplification from a biological sample, in particular with regard to prepare a library for next generation sequencing. A unique rotary design of one or more fluidic cards in the assembly allows for moving of biological samples and reagents around the fluidic card(s) based on centrifugal force provided by rotary motion and coupled with an indexing mechanism. By orienting the fluidic card(s) appropriately the fluidic flow can be directed from and to the various chambers on the fluidic card(s) to perform the different assay steps without the need of batching during sample processing.

  • Patent number: 11854408
    Abstract: Providing an open interface to a navigation system is provided herein. A single partition (or more than one partition) of a partitioned operating system can be utilized to provide connectivity between a navigation system and one or more user equipment devices. Thus, the navigation system and the one or more user equipment devices can be communicatively coupled via the at least one partition. Further, a Software Development Kit (SDK) can be configured to enable bi-directional communication between the navigation system and the one or more user equipment devices. In addition, the SDK can provide security for the navigation system when communicating with the one or more user equipment devices.
