  • Publication number: 20190339358
    Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed for radar interference mitigation using a pseudorandom offset. The apparatus includes an antenna array and a wireless transceiver. The wireless transceiver is coupled to the antenna array and is configured to transmit, via the antenna array, a radar transmit signal based on at least one pseudorandom offset. The wireless transceiver is also configured to receive, via the antenna array, at least a portion of another radar transmit signal from another apparatus. The wireless transceiver is additionally configured to receive, via the antenna array, a radar receive signal that includes a portion of the radar transmit signal that is reflected by an object. At a given time, a frequency of the radar receive signal is different than a frequency of the radar transmit signal based on the at least one pseudorandom offset.

  • Publication number: 20190316209
    Abstract: A predictive cancer model generates a cancer prediction for an individual of interest by analyzing values of one or more types of features that are derived from cfDNA obtained from the individual. Specifically, cfDNA from the individual is sequenced to generate sequence reads using one or more physical assays, examples of which include a small variant sequencing assay, whole genome sequencing assay, and methylation sequencing assay. The sequence reads of the physical assays are processed through corresponding computational analyses to generate each of small variant features, whole genome features, and methylation features. The values of features can be provided to a predictive cancer model that generates a cancer prediction. In some embodiments, the values of different types of features can be separately provided into different predictive models. Each separate predictive model can output a score that can serve as input into an overall model that outputs the cancer prediction.
