Abstract: A method for obtaining from genomic material genomic copy number information unaffected by amplification distortion, comprising obtaining segments of the genomic material, tagging the segments with substantially unique tags to generate tagged nucleic acid molecules, such that each tagged nucleic acid molecule comprises one segment of the genomic material and a tag, subjecting the tagged nucleic acid molecules to polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification, generating tag associated sequence reads by sequencing the product of the PCR reaction, assigning each tagged nucleic acid molecule to a location on a genome associated with the genomic material by mapping the subsequence of each tag associated sequence read corresponding to a segment of the genomic material to a location on the genome, and counting the number of tagged nucleic acid molecules assigned to the same location on the genome having a different tag, thereby obtaining genomic copy number information unaffected by amplification distortion.

Abstract: A portable antenna terminal includes a deck on which is mounted a storage frame, and on which there is also supported an antenna that includes a kingpost shaft and a modular reflector that is formed from a plurality of reflector panels and a central reflector hub. The storage frame defines a storage space for storing the plurality of reflector panels and a receptacle for secured reception of the reflector hub. When fully loaded with all terminal components, the terminal has a total weight of equal to or less than 10,000 lbs., preferably equal to or less than 7,500 lbs., and more preferably equal to or less than 5,000 lbs. In a storage configuration, with the modular antenna components secured in stored positions, the terminal has dimensions equal to or less than 84 in. L×104 in. W×92 in. H.

Abstract: A charging circuit for a capacitor in a defibrillator includes a control enabling a setting of a desired time to charge a capacitor to a desired voltage in the defibrillator. The charging circuit further includes a flyback charge-pump circuit comprising a switch, an energy transfer transformer, an energy storage capacitor and a control. The switch is configured to stop or allow storage of energy in a transformer. The transformer transfers the energy to the capacitor. The flyback charge-pump circuit controls a duty-cycle on the switch so that a current draw from a power source (e.g. battery) is sufficient to enable charging the capacitor to the desired voltage within the desired time set on the control.

Abstract: Systems and methods for flexible and extensible contact center routing are disclosed. Incoming communications are received at a contact center from one or more customers. A pairing score is determined for each agent capable of servicing the incoming communications for each of the one or more customers based on customer attributes and/or agent attributes that are adjustable and extensible. An incoming communication is routed from a customer to an agent having a highest pairing score with the customer. The incoming communication can be routed on a first communication channel and then switched over to a second communication channel. The first communication channel and second communication channel can be different types of communication channels.

Abstract: A method and related system provide for data tracking and generation for workforce management. The system has a database and tracks customers and conversations customers have with agents. The system tracks contact items each having a contact type and a channel. The system tracks work sessions each having one or more work bursts, based on tracking conversations and contact items. The system provides access to the database for users, reports or workforce management systems.

Abstract: Example headsets and methods for gathering electroencephalographic signals are disclosed herein. An example headset disclosed herein includes a cap to be worn on a head of a person and a first electrode carried by the cap. The first electrode holder defines a first opening therethrough. The example headset includes a first electrode that insertable into the first opening. The first electrode has a first length and is adjustable in the first opening to a first plurality of discrete positions having different depths of insertion relative to the first opening. The first electrode is to engage the head of the person when inserted a sufficient depth into the first opening. The example headset also includes a second electrode that is interchangeable with the first electrode and insertable into the first opening.

Abstract: A computer system may receive a layout of a data center, the layout of the data center identifying physical locations of a plurality of server racks, electrical distribution feeds, and uninterruptible power supplies. The computer system may receive a fault domain configuration for the datacenter, the fault domain configuration identifying virtual locations of a plurality of logical fault domains for distributing one or more instances so that the instances are stored on independent physical hardware devices within a single availability fault domain. The computer system may determine the configuration for the data center by assigning the plurality of fault domains to a plurality of electrical zones, wherein each electrical zone provides a redundant electrical power supply across the plurality of logical fault domains in an event of a failure of one or more electrical distribution feeds. The computer system may display the configuration for the data center on a display.

Abstract: Systems and methods are discussed herein for an optimal approach for wireless emergency alerting within cells of wireless communication networks by using a careful estimation of a “true effective radius” of each cell/sector to eliminate broadcasts falling short of alert area boundaries (with users in such gaps in coverage not receiving an alert despite being in the designated alert area). By utilizing true provisioning information of each cell/sector that is at least partly within the alert area boundaries to understand the true effective radii of particular cell sectors can be selected for broadcast of the alert such that the entire alert area is covered for broadcasting of the alert without excessive over-broadcasting, e.g., broadcasting excessively beyond the alert area boundaries. Alerts can then be broadcast within each selected cell sector.
