  • Publication number: 20200057128
    Abstract: The present invention relate to a system and associate method of MRI and MR spectroscopy which provide stable measurements of the relaxation times, T1 and T2, by using tailored multi-band RF pulses that direct control of the saturation conditions in the background pool of macro-molecular protons, and hence provide a flexible means to induce constant Magnetisation Transfer (MT) effects. In doing this, equal saturation of the background pool is obtained for all measurements independent of the parameters that may be changed, for example, the rotation rate used to obtain a desired flip angle, that is, the degree of change in the magnetisation of the free pool of protons.

  • Patent number: 10450611
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and systems for personalized genetic testing of a subject. In some embodiments, a sequencing assay is performed on a biological sample from the subject, which then leads to genetic information related to the subject. Next, nucleic acid molecules are array-synthesized or selected based on the genetic information derived from data of the sequencing assay. At least some of the nucleic acid molecules may then be used in an assay which may provide additional information on one or more biological samples from the subject or a biological relative of the subject.

  • Patent number: 10415091
    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems and methods for sample processing and data analysis. Sample processing may include nucleic acid sample processing and subsequent sequencing. Some or all of a nucleic acid sample may be sequenced to provide sequence information, which may be stored or otherwise maintained in an electronic storage location. The sequence information may be analyzed with the aid of a computer processor, and the analyzed sequence information may be stored in an electronic storage location that may include a pool or collection of sequence information and analyzed sequence information generated from the nucleic acid sample. Methods and systems of the present disclosure can be used, for example, for the analysis of a nucleic acid sample, for producing one or more libraries, and for producing biomedical reports. Methods and systems of the disclosure can aid in the diagnosis, monitoring, treatment, and prevention of one or more diseases and conditions.

  • Publication number: 20190243781
    Abstract: Examples herein describe techniques for providing a customizable direct memory access (DMA) interface which can permit user logic to change or control how DMA read and writes are performed. In one example, a DMA engine may be hardened (e.g., include circuitry formed from a semiconductor material) which prevents the DMA engine from being reconfigured like programmable logic. Instead of changing the DMA engine, the user logic can change or customize the DMA interface between the user logic and the DMA engine. In this way, the manner in which the DMA engine performs DMA write and reads can be changed by the user logic. In one example, the DMA engine includes a bypass mode of operation where descriptors associated with DMA queues are passed through the DMA engine and to the user logic.

  • Publication number: 20190010560
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods for improving detection and monitoring of human diseases. The methods can be used to provide spatial and/or developmental localization of the source of each differential mutation within the body. The methods can also be used to generate a mutation map of a subject. And the mutation map can be used to monitoring state(s) of health of one or more tissues of a subject.

  • Publication number: 20180276580
    Abstract: A network system can receive, from each of a plurality of devices operated by a respective provider, at least one set of availability data associated with that provider. Each set of availability data includes a start location, an end location, a date, and a start time range. For each set of availability data, the network system can identify a paired data set from a plurality of paired data sets based on the respective start location and the respective end location of that set of availability data, and associate an identifier of the respective provider of that set of availability data with a group associated with the identified paired data set. The network system can receive request data from a computing device of a user, determine one of the plurality of paired data sets, and select a first provider from the group associated with the determined paired data set.

  • Patent number: 10032000
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for processing and/or analyzing nucleic acid sequencing data comprises receiving a first data input and a second data input. The first data input comprises untargeted sequencing data generated from a first nucleic acid sample obtained from a subject. The second data input comprises target-specific sequencing data generated from a second nucleic acid sample obtained from the subject. Next, with the aid of a computer processor, the first data input and the second data input are combined to produce a combined data set. Next, an output derived from the combined data set is generated. The output is indicative of the presence or absence of one or more polymorphisms of the first nucleic acid sample and/or the second nucleic acid sample.
