  • Publication number: 20200270682
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include systems, apparatus, and methods for detecting copy number variation (CNV) in the genomes of one or more patients. Samples of DNA may be taken from several patients, and then sections of the patients' DNA may be sequenced, e.g., through a process that may include, for each patient, one or more of: purifying, concentrating, fragmenting, labeling, filtering, and amplifying that patient's DNA. Fragments from several patients may be pooled, and the fragments in the pool may be sequenced. The sequencing data is then subjected to analysis, which includes several normalization steps. The normalized data are then examined to identify CNV, which is reported.

  • Patent number: 8792211
    Abstract: A data storage device with a heat assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) system, a magnetic recording medium, and method for data storage are provided. The data storage device includes a magnetic recording medium, a magnetic recording head, a power supply, a controller and a switching device. The magnetic recording head includes a main pole having a surface area facing the magnetic recording medium. The controller is coupled to the magnetic recording head for controlling writing information to and reading information from the magnetic recording medium. The switching device electrically couples the power supply between the main pole and the magnetic recording medium in response to a signal provided from the controller when writing information to the magnetic recording medium. The magnetic recording medium comprises a plurality of layers, including a heating layer, a field enhanced conduction layer, and an electrode layer.

  • Publication number: 20100220712
    Abstract: A method for improving synchro precision of data transmission and system thereof are disclosed. The method includes the following steps: RRU receives a data frame and buffers; frame-parses to a wireless frame impulse signal and a carrier wave data signal of the data frame, setting the maximum time-lapse compensating time; a time-lapse is redeemed to the wireless frame impulse signal after parsing, according to the time of transmission and buffering, and the maximum time-lapse compensating time, and then sends to the communication port of RRU to transmit; a time-lapse is redeemed to the carrier wave data signal after parsing, according to the time of transmission and buffering, the maximum time-lapse compensating time, and transmission time of processing data, the carrier wave data is processed, and then is sent to the communication port of RRU to transmit; the wireless frame impulse signal and the carrier wave data signal are sent to the communication port of RRU simultaneously.
