  • Publication number: 20240084380
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides compositions and related methods, e.g., for preparing immobilized nucleic acid nanostructures using compaction oligonucleotides. In some embodiments, rolling circle amplification reaction can be conducted with compaction oligonucleotides on-support or in-solution to generate concatemer molecules having multiple copies of a polynucleotide unit arranged in tandem. Each polynucleotide unit comprises a sequence-of-interest and at least one universal adaptor sequence that binds one end of a compaction oligonucleotide. The 5? and 3? regions of the compaction oligonucleotide can hybridize to the concatemer to pull together distal portions of the concatemer causing compaction of the concatemer to form a nanostructure. Nanostructures having tighter size and shape compared to concatemers generated in the absence of the compaction oligonucleotides.

  • Patent number: 9041773
    Abstract: Two dimensional data is converted into three dimensional picture data in a method that can provide a real time high quality display during conversion. Pixels of a frame of picture data are segmented to create pixel segments by applying a k-means algorithm. The k-means algorithm groups pixels based on closeness of a combined value that includes luma, chroma, and motion information. By balancing this information the algorithm collects pixels into groups that are assigned relative depths to turn the two-dimensional information into three-dimensional information for display. Another method includes determining a depth map for the different pixel segments by determining an amount of motion of one of the pixel segments between two frames of a video and scaling the three-dimensional depth of one of the pixel segments based on the amount of motion between the two frames.

  • Publication number: 20100179957
    Abstract: The polling method of switch status based on Timer-triggered Scheduler of Stored Procedures is to create interface tables related with switch status in the database including switch object table, switch type table, alarms information table which are used to store meta-information and switch status values. Then, create stored procedure of acquiring relevant switch status for each kind of switch needed for polling of switch status, and data will be filtered out and switch status will be judged via the related stored procedures, and write the status values into relevant switch status interface table; finally create regularly-executed tasks to regularly schedule each stored procedure required to poll switch status. The whole process is composed of three parts: i.e., create relevant switch status interface table; create stored procedure of acquiring switch status and setting status value; regularly-executed tasks.
