    Abstract: In one embodiment, a diagnostic system includes an instrument coupled to a client device and having at least one sample processing bay. The diagnostic system has a software architecture including instrument software (ISW) associated with the instrument. The ISW receives an assay definition file (ADF) that has a control file and an assay analysis module (AAM) file. The processing bay prepares and senses the sample according to parameters in the OPUS file and then generates sensor scan data. The diagnostic system then analyzes the sensor scan data and prepares a report according to the AAM file.

  • Patent number: 12112063
    Abstract: A memory controller includes a request queue and associated logic for efficiently managing the request queue based on various timing constraints of the memory device. A single request queue for the memory device stores read and write requests spanning different banks of the memory device. In each memory controller cycle, selection logic may select both a row request and a column request (relating to a different bank than the row request) for issuing to the memory device based on a set of timing status bits. Following issuance of requests, the memory controller updates the queue to maintain the queued requests in a time-ordered, compressed sequence. The memory controller furthermore updates the timing status bits that are used by the selection logic to select requests from the queue based on a history of past memory requests.
