Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for providing a timeline representing a culture media protocol for a culture medium. Providing a timeline representing a culture media protocol can include receiving the culture media protocol for the culture media generating the timeline on a user interface based on the culture media protocol, monitoring time on the timeline, receiving one or more culture media images related to the culture media protocol, associating each of the one or more culture media images with a position on the timeline that correlates to a time at which the culture media image was captured, and generating a selectable marker for each culture media image associated with the timeline, the selectable marker being aligned with the position on the timeline that correlates to the time at which the culture media image was captured.

Abstract: A system and method are provided of minimizing network bandwidth used from an external network by client peers in a local network. The method can include the operation of organizing a plurality of clients each having media streamlets and a client parent in a structure within the local network. Mapping information propagates through the structure. The mapping information represents local streamlet locations as stored by the plurality of clients. Another operation is retrieving a local streamlet from a client identified in the mapping information as having the local streamlet for the requesting client.

Abstract: Certain aspects relate to encryption systems and methods for medical devices. A medical device can include a connectivity module for establishing a communication channel with a cloud system. After obtaining a test result, the device can generate an unencrypted data block comprising a device identifier and an encrypted data block comprising a serial number of the device and the test result using an encryption key associated with the device identifier. The device can securely send the test result to the cloud system by transmitting the unencrypted data block and the encrypted data block to the cloud system via the communication channel.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for selecting colony locations. Selecting colony locations can include determine a location of a selection tool on a culture plate image, determining a location of a potential source of error on the culture plate image, comparing the location of the selection tool to the location of the potential source of error; and determining an error when the location of the selection tool overlays the location of the potential source of error.

Abstract: Disclosed are semiconductor dice with backside trenches filled with elastic conductive material. The trenches reduce the on-state resistances of the devices incorporated on the dice. The elastic conductive material provides a conductive path to the backsides of the die with little induced stress on the semiconductor die caused by thermal cycling. Also disclosed are packages using the dice, and methods of making the dice.
