  • Publication number: 20180002688
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for producing encoded chemical entities. In particular, the oligonucleotides and methods can include encoded chemical entities having wild-type linkages formed through chemical ligation techniques. One strategy that can be utilized that simultaneously takes advantage of chemical ligation as a means to encode chemical history, while also retaining the ability of polymerases to directly recover tag sequence and association information, is to perform chemical ligation in a manner that generates wildtype phosphodiester linkages. Such methods generally utilize condensing agents such as cyanogen bromide or similar along with 5?-phosphate and 3?-hydroxyl oligonucleotides in a double-stranded or templated context. Similarly cyanogen bromide has also been shown to chemically ligate pairs of substrate oligonucleotides that are 5?-hydroxyl and 3?-phosphate.

  • Patent number: 9833201
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a system for monitoring a physiological parameter of a cyclist, and methods of using the system. The system comprises a garment, a sensor, and a signal processor. The garment is configured to be worn by the cyclist. The sensor is fixedly coupled to the garment and configured to measure a signal representative of the physiological parameter during pedaling. The signal processor is operatively coupled to the sensor and configured to determine a diagnosis based on the measured signal. An alert is generated in response to the diagnosis substantially in real time.

  • Publication number: 20170278008
    Abstract: A system and method of determining an output of an n-input fuzzy logic system are provided. A plurality of membership functions associated with a corresponding plurality of inputs is determined along with a list of fuzzy rules for the n-input fuzzy logic system. An input of the plurality of inputs is selected. Two active rules and their corresponding output values are selected from the list of rules. Membership values of two active membership functions are determined. An output of the n-input fuzzy system is calculated by multiplying the two membership values with the output of the two active rules and is saved. Recursively repeating, for each additional input, the determining and calculating steps and multiplying the output with the saved output, then saving the new output.
