Abstract: A method for accurately administering a substance to a subject in motion is provided including obtaining one or more scans of the subject. The subject has at least one defined target region thereon for delivery of the substance. A three dimensional position of the subject in motion is calculated based on the obtained one or more scans of the subject. The three dimensional position includes X, Y, and Z coordinates defining the three dimensional position. A timing adjustment is calculated based on the calculated three dimensional position of the subject in motion. A timing of the delivery of the substance to the at least one defined target region is adjusted based on the subject using the calculated timing adjustment. The obtaining, calculating the three dimensional position, calculating the timing adjustment and the adjusting are performed by at least one processor.

Abstract: A system for managing data transfer and storage from one or more data generating devices is provided. The system may include one or more nodes that are configured to fragment one or more data streams from the one or more data generating devices and store the fragments among the one or more nodes. The one or more nodes may be configured to redundantly transmit data between the nodes so the garmented data stream arrives at the desired location for storage.

Abstract: Provided herein are techniques for enabling communications between an access point (AP) and a number of stations (STAs) while maximizing transmission quality and/or minimizing power consumption. For example, an STA may be associated with a camera device used to capture video data and transmit the video data to the AP, and the AP may be configured to receive a registration request from the STA, register the STA, receive video data from the STA, and transmit the video data to a backend system such as a storage server. In some cases, the AP and STAs may communicate using a communication bandwidth that is sub-GHz but has a higher bandwidth relative to the low-bandwidth sub-GHz communication protocols discussed above. An example of such a high-bandwidth sub-GHz communication protocol is one that supports data transmission (e.g., video data transmission) using a bandwidth of 900 megahertz (MHz).

Abstract: Exemplary memory storage system and methods for distributive storage of data. Exemplary embodiments provide methods and systems including a plurality of nodes where each node has memory for storing data. The nodes may be configured to receive data and store the data at the node if the data is intended for the node or pass the data to another node if the data is not intended for the node. The nodes may manage memory and allocation of specific memory addresses locally, while the system of nodes manages memory based on a naming convention to indicate the nodes and not the individual memory addresses within a node.

Abstract: An exemplary communication method and system is disclosed. The system may be configured to create a mesh network of nodes for routing and/or rerouting data communications depending on the integrity of or demands on the system to improve efficiency and transmission confidence. The system may be configured to redundantly, simultaneously send data transmissions on different transmission interfaces using different transmission protocols.

The data transmission may permit redirection or retransmission based on node or data transmission failure.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for identifying and averting exposed pellet-shaped article defects, deviations, and inclusions are disclosed. A vision system may be capable of identifying flaws/inclusions/defects/deviations affecting the exterior and/or interior of pellet-shaped articles via Ultra-Violet Light to instigate long-wave visible and Infra-red fluorescence. The UV Light and section of the visible spectrum not encompassing the instigated fluorescence may be removed with an optical filter so a camera can capture an image of discrete flaws/inclusions/defects/deviations. The vision system may send decision-signals to a mechanism to manipulate individual pellet-shaped articles. For example, a scam between halves of softgels may be rotated by an actuator having contact point(s) to hold a portion of the softgel stationary while a conveyer moves beneath causing rotation of the seam.

Abstract: The present invention generally provides, in various embodiments, methods of generating tagged DNA amplicons for sequencing. In one embodiment, the method comprises a) annealing a first oligonucleotide to a nucleic acid template comprising a target nucleic acid molecule sequence and a tag sequence, wherein the target nucleic acid molecule sequence comprises a locus of interest; b) performing nucleic acid template-directed nucleic acid extension from the annealed first oligonucleotide to provide a first extension product; c) circularizing the first extension product to produce a circularized DNA template; and d) performing circularized DNA template-directed nucleic acid amplification to produce a tagged DNA amplicon for sequencing. The methods are useful for linking a distant locus-of-interest to a reverse transcription primer.
