  • Patent number: 11081208
    Abstract: Described are computer-implemented methods, systems, and media for de novo phased diploid assembly of nucleic acid sequence data generated from a nucleic acid sample of an individual utilizing nucleic acid tags to preserve long-range sequence context for the individual such that a subset of short-read sequence data derived from a common starting sequence shares a common tag. The phased diploid assembly is achieved without alignment to a reference sequence derived from organisms other than the individual. The methods, systems, and media described are computer-resource efficient, allowing scale-up.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8497688
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a non-contact arc detection, recognition, and warning apparatus for the detection of arcing in an electrical system. The apparatus includes an electric field detector having first and second electric field sensors adapted to sense electric fields; a magnetic field detector having a multi-axis magnetic field sensor adapted to detect a magnetic field; and a digital signal processor. The digital signal processor compares and enhances signals obtained from the electric field detector and the magnetic field detector and creates a response to alert a user of the presence of arcing.

  • Publication number: 20060226303
    Abstract: A bag holder for use in a vehicle trunk comprising a trunk lid having trunk hinges which attach the trunk lid to the vehicle. The bag holder device comprises a band portion having two ends, the band portion being at least partially elastically stretchable and of sufficient length when the partially elastically stretchable portion is partially stretched so as to be held in tension when the ends are connected to respective trunk hinges. The ends of the band portion are connected by connection means to slideable hinge rings, each of the slideable hinge rings having a sufficient circumference so as to permit encircling of the trunk hinges.

  • Publication number: 20050022718
    Abstract: A file marker device adapted for use with a folder. The folder to which the device can be affixed comprises a front flap having a first top edge, a rear flap connected to the front flap by a folder bottom, the rear flap having a second top edge. Hanging folders often also comprise a plurality of equally spaced parallel slots near at least a first or second top edge. The file marker device can comprise a support portion having two opposed end tabs, each of the end tabs being capable of engaging one of the plurality of equally spaced parallel slots; and an indicator arm moveably attached to the support portion, the indicator arm being moveable about a pivot point from a first position to a second position. In some embodiments the file marker device also comprises a shield portion and/or a portion adapted for exhibiting identifying indicia.
