Abstract: Methods and systems for image analysis are provided, and in particular for identifying a set of base-calling locations in a flow cell for DNA sequencing. These include capturing flow cell images after each sequencing step performed on the flow cell, and identifying candidate cluster centers in at least one of the flow cell images. Intensities are determined for each candidate cluster center in a set of flow cell images. Purities are determined for each candidate cluster center based on the intensities. Each candidate cluster center with a purity greater than the purity of the surrounding candidate cluster centers within a distance threshold is added to a template set of base-calling locations.

Abstract: This disclosure enables (1) creation of various tags and (2) tagging of various data structures identified above with such tags. Therefore, once tagged, these data structures can be processed by various application programs, without reprograming of these application programs or with minimal reprogramming of these application programs, because these tags accommodate or account for potential changes to these data structures (e.g., in format) that are made before these data structure are received for processing, as explained above. For example, some of such tags may be business user defined categorizations of data structures that can be evaluated during processing of some of such data structures and subsequently used as inputs to a standardized logic, thereby eliminating of reprogramming of these application programs or minimizing reprogramming of these application programs.

Abstract: A method and system for calibrating nuclear instrumentation of a reactor is disclosed. The system comprises a reactor configured to operate at a low power level and an external heater configured to heat the reactor to its operating temperature and maintain the reactor in a critical state. The reactor maintains its temperature at a steady state by repeating steps of reducing the heater's power and increasing the reactor's power by changing one or more reactivity settings, wherein the reduced heater's power is compensated by using the increased power generated by the reactor itself. The nuclear instrumentation is configured to measure the reactor's output power and compare it with the calculated reactor's power. Based on the discrepancy between the calculated power and the measured power exceeds a threshold; and the nuclear instrumentation is appropriately calibrated by adjusting one or more settings.
