Abstract: Methods, systems, and non-transitory computer readable media are disclosed for accurately and efficiently identifying base-call-error scars or patterns from sequencing data to determine failure sources that contribute to the base-call-error scars or patterns. For example, the disclosed system can utilize a reference genome to determine nucleotide-specific errors within a run of a sequencing pipeline. Based on the co-occurrence of different nucleotide-specific errors, the disclosed system can determine a base-call-error scar. The disclosed system can further determine one or more sample error scars from sample sequencing runs that correlate to the base-call-error scar. Based on the correlation and by utilizing a statistical model, the disclosed system can identify failure sources contributing to the nucleotide-specific errors within the base-call-error scar.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and non-transitory computer readable media are disclosed for accurately and efficiently detect when bubbles impact nucleic-acid-sequencing runs based on data captured during (or derived from) base calls during sequencing runs. In particular, in one or more embodiments, the disclosed systems receive data identifying nucleobase calls and data identifying quality metrics for the nucleobase calls during sequencing cycles. Based on particular nucleobase calls and threshold markers for the quality metrics, the disclosed system utilizes a machine-learning-model to detect a presence of a bubble in a nucleotide-sample slide. Beyond simply detecting the presence of a bubble, the disclosed system can also classify different detected bubbles, such as air bubbles, oil bubbles, or ghost bubbles, or other outputs during sequencing.

Abstract: A device for manufacturing at least one undercut in a sheet-metal profile that is slotted or closed may include an inner core portion and an outer core portion, which together can be inserted within the sheet-metal profile and/or may support a semi-finished sheet-metal product from which the sheet-metal profile is formed. The inner core portion and the outer core portion may have faces that mate with one another such that when the inner core portion rotates or translates relative to the outer core portion, the outer core portion is forced away from the inner core portion. To cause this behavior, the faces may be undulating, inclined, or cam-like, for example. In effect, a cross-sectional profile of the device may be reduced at least for purposes of extracting the device from the sheet-metal profile after the undercuts have been formed.

Abstract: A method may be used to produce a seamless pressure vessel for storing hydrogen. So that such a pressure vessel withstands both very high internal pressures and pressure fluctuations and (low) temperatures and temperature fluctuations and also high mechanical loading, is resistant to embrittlement, and is comparatively lightweight, a round or tubular workpiece may be formed that includes a multi-layer composite sheet metal material comprising a carrier layer made of steel material and a shielding layer resistant to hydrogen embrittlement by a flow forming process into a seamless hollow body, which serves as a semifinished product to be further processed into the seamless pressure vessel. The shielding layer may represent an inner layer of the pressure vessel. During the flow forming of the workpiece, the shielding layer may be retained as a whole-area, uninterrupted layer.

Abstract: Millimeter to nano-scale structures manufactured using a multi-component polymer fiber matrix are disclosed. The use of dissimilar polymers allows the selective dissolution of the polymers at various stages of the manufacturing process. In one application, biocompatible matrixes may be formed with long pore length and small pore size. The manufacturing process begins with a first polymer fiber arranged in a matrix formed by a second polymer fiber. End caps may be attached to provide structural support and the polymer fiber matrix selectively dissolved away leaving only the long polymer fibers. These may be exposed to another product, such as a biocompatible gel to form a biocompatible matrix. The polymer fibers may then be selectively dissolved leaving only a biocompatible gel scaffold with the pores formed by the dissolved polymer fibers. The scaffolds may be used in, among other applications, the repair of central and peripheral nerves.

The one field apparatus is connected via a bus to a management device managing apparatuses connected thereto, whereby the management device accesses a link network, from which the management device retrieves the apparatus specific information, whereby the management device requests the apparatus specific information autonomously from the link network and installs the retrieved apparatus specific information autonomously into its system. Further, a system is provided, comprising a management device, a field apparatus, and an access to a link network, whereby the management device is connected to the field apparatus via a bus, and is adapted to autonomously request apparatus specific information over the link network and to autonomously install the retrieved apparatus specific information into its system.
