  • Publication number: 20240096449
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus are described herein for performing sequencing of one or more biological samples in at least two flow cells on a sequencing device. A sequencing system may comprise one or more of a scheduling engine, the sequencing device, and a display. The scheduling engine may maintain scheduling information of a state of compute resources and non-compute resources. The sequencing device may receive the scheduling information from the scheduling engine; determine the state of the compute resources and non-compute resources; determine a sequencing analysis priority associated with performing analysis of the at least two flow cells on the sequencing device; and perform the sequencing task related to the one or more biological samples in the at least two flow cells according to the sequencing analysis priority. The display may display real-time feedback associated with completion of the sequencing task for each flow cell.

  • Publication number: 20230410945
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for performing secondary analyses of nucleotide sequencing data in a time-efficient manner. Some embodiments include performing a secondary analysis iteratively while sequence reads are generated by a sequencing system. Secondary analyses can encompass both alignment of sequence reads to a reference sequence (e.g., the human reference genome sequence) and utilization of this alignment to detect differences between a sample and the reference. Secondary analysis can enable detection of genetic differences, variant detection and genotyping, identification of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), small insertions and deletion (indels) and structural changes in the DNA, such as copy number variants (CNVs) and chromosomal rearrangements.

  • Patent number: 8989772
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for estimating time of arrival information associated with a wireless signal are disclosed. In an embodiment, a wireless device (102), or any other suitable device or system, determines a channel type based on multiple occurrences of a reference signal (700) (e.g., determine if a channel is delay-spread or non-delay-spread based on a ratio of largest peak to a mean of other peaks). The wireless device (102) then selects a time of arrival generator (800 or 900) based on the channel type (e.g., use delay-spread estimator if ratio is below threshold, and use non-delay-spread estimator if ratio is above threshold). The wireless device then (102) estimates the time of arrival information using the selected time of arrival generator (800 or 900) (e.g., sum peaks from multiple occasions and then estimate for delay-spread or estimate the time of arrival from each occasion and then average for non-delay-spread).

  • Patent number: 8737551
    Abstract: A method and system synchronizes transmission of receive data over an asynchronous digital radio frequency interface in a wireless communication device. A timing accurate strobe (TAS) re-sampler generates, using a first timing strobe synchronized to a baseband modem clock, a second timing strobe synchronized to a radio frequency integrated circuit (RFIC) clock. The TAS re-sampler forwards the second timing strobe to the RFIC to trigger a collection of data samples and initiates a count of RFIC clock cycles. The RFIC sends the data samples to a baseband First In First Out (FIFO) buffer over the asynchronous interface. In response to the count reaching a pre-determined number of RFIC clock cycles corresponding to a fixed delay, the TAS re-sampler triggers a reading of data from the FIFO buffer. The baseband modem receives data corresponding to the collection of data samples after a fixed delay from generation of the first timing strobe.
