  • Publication number: 20230207063
    Abstract: This disclosure describes methods, non-transitory computer readable media, and systems that can query the status of various stages in an end-to-end sequencing process and generate a graphical status summary for the sequencing process that depicts icons indicating statuses of the various stages. For instance, the disclosed systems can generate a graphical status summary for a nucleotide sequencing taskset that includes icons depicting statuses of a sequencing run, a data transfer of base-call data to a device for variant analysis, and the variant analysis—each part of the same nucleotide sequencing taskset. By exchanging data with a sequencing device for read data and one or more servers for variant analysis, the disclosed system can quickly provide a graphical status summary of an end-to-end sequencing process marked by various tasks within a nucleotide sequencing taskset.

  • Publication number: 20200202977
    Abstract: A wide variety of scenarios are supported for per-biosample aggregation of sequencing yield. A sequencing system can sequence a plurality of biosamples in parallel. As sequencing yield results are acquired, they can be matched to biosamples and sequencing progress for the biosamples can be monitored. A target amount of yield can be specified so that a sequencing yield analysis application is automatically launched when aggregated yield reaches the target. Other features related to quality control and yield-in-progress can result in more efficient sequencing activities and reduction in waste.

  • Patent number: 7477896
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for reducing the likelihood of missed pages during cell reselection. For cell reselection with early camping, a terminal determines that reselection from a first base station to a second base station is required. The terminal then performs cell reselection and receives sufficient system information to process a paging channel for the second base station. The terminal starts monitoring the paging channel upon receiving this information and prior to completing the cell reselection. For cell reselection with reconfirmation, the terminal receives and decodes a control channel for the second base station prior to performing cell reselection. For cell reselection with overlapping page reception, the terminal monitors the paging channel for the first base station until a terminating event occurs and starts monitoring the paging channel for the second base station upon receiving sufficient system information. The monitoring of the two paging channels overlaps in time.

  • Patent number: 7444150
    Abstract: Upon power on, a terminal performs cell selection, finds the most suitable cell to receive communication service, and camps on this cell (the serving cell). The terminal thereafter performs “C2-based” cell reselection if a better cell is found, “non-C2 based” cell reselection if the current serving cell cannot be camped on, “power scan” cell reselection if the C2-based or non-C2 based cell reselection fails, and cell selection if the power scan cell reselection fails. For the power scan cell reselection, the terminal initially performs a power scan and obtains received signal strength measurements for a list of RF channels. This list includes fewer than all RF channels evaluated by the cell selection. The terminal then acquires and decodes the N strongest RF channels, preferably in parallel, to find a suitable cell. The terminal selects a suitable cell, if found, with the highest C2 value as the new serving cell from which to receive service.
