Abstract: The present disclosure relates to processes for inverting oligonucleotide probes in an in situ synthesized array. These processes can be used to reverse the orientation of probes with respect to the substrate from 3?-bound to 5?-bound. These processes can also be used to reduce or eliminate the presence of truncated probe sequences from an in situ synthesized array.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments provide methods, mediums, and systems for efficiently moving data between cluster nodes. Upon receiving a request to read or write data at a first cluster node that is in communication with a client, the first node effects the transfer to or from a second cluster node. The transfer is carried out using a combination of remote data memory access (“RDMA”), or a similar technique that bypasses a part of the network stack, and transport control protocol (“TCP”), or a similar technique that does not bypass a part of the network stack. The data is transferred using RDMA, while certain control messages are sent using TCP. By combining RDMA content transfers and TCP control messages, data transfers can be carried out faster, more efficiently, and with less processing overhead. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: Methods, non-transitory computer readable media, and computing devices that send an allocation request for an amount of memory to a another computing device. An indication of a memory range corresponding to a plurality of remote use data buffers within a memory of the another computing device is received from the another computing device. A locally managed remote memory (LMRM) pool comprising metadata for the remote use data buffers is instantiated based on the indication of the memory range. One of the remote use data buffers in the LMRM pool is reserved. Data is sent via remote direct memory access (RDMA) to the one of the remote use data buffers. Advantageously, with this technology, a computing device can manage memory belonging to another computing device via the LMRM pool in order to transfer data more efficiently.

Abstract: This invention provides a system and apparatus that is able to authenticate and prevent illegal manufacturing and unauthorized operation of disposable bioprocess components. This invention utilizes a ferro-electric random access memory chip (FRAM) chip to store error-correctable information on a RFID tag attached to the disposable bioprocess components, where the error-correctable information is written in sequence into the memory chip, so that the redundant information can remain in the chip when the RFID tag and disposable bioprocess component is gamma-sterilized. Also, this invention includes a method for authenticating the disposable bioprocess component that reduces liability in that a counterfeit poor quality disposable component is not used on the hardware so the user will not file an unjustified complaint.

Abstract: The present invention provides synthetic processes for preparing racemic and/or optically pure epicatechin, epigallocatechin and related polyphenols as such or as their variously functionalized derivatives. A principle objective of the disclosure is to provide a new and useful method of synthesis to obtain polyphenols in isomerically pure and/or racemic forms.

Abstract: Process for recovery and separation of sugars and oil from plants where the stems and leaves of such plants have substantial levels of both sugars and oils.

Abstract: A disposable winemaking apparatus for fermenting wine containing skins, seeds, and stems that form a cap includes a single-use, dual chamber plastic bag that incorporates a mechanism to agitate and disperse the cap in order to maximize extraction of color and flavor. It also includes an integral press mechanism to squeeze out the fermented juice through a strainer, retaining the pomace in the disposable bag. The device may also be used for racking and transfer of wine during aging.

Abstract: An apparatus and method improving effective system throughput for replication of data over a network in a storage computing environment by using software components to perform data compression is disclosed. Software compression support is determined between applications in a data storage computing environment. If supported, compression parameters are negotiated for a communication session between storage systems over a network. Effective system throughput is improved since the size of a compressed lost data packet is less than the size of an uncompressed data packet when a lost packet needs to be retransmitted in a transmission window.

Abstract: A process for preparing an extract of Momordica charantia, including: a) preparing crude juice; b) filtering to obtain filtered juice; c) modifying pH; d) allowing the pH modified juice to stabilize; e) neutralizing the stabilized juice; f) allowing the neutralized juice to stand for 20-30 minutes; g) rechecking the pH level; and h) drying the juice to obtain the extract. The process said above is simple, cost effective, which does not employ any harmful organic solvents and which enhances the potency of the constituents. A simple and potent formulation showing anti-diabetic activity comprising active constituents of Momordica charantia is also provided.

A mixing container is disposed in the support, where the mixing container is configured to retain materials. A driver assembly is configured to protrude through the support and into the mixing container. The mixing container includes a paddle, the driver assembly is configured to be attached to the paddle, where the driver assembly is configured to oscillate the paddle in a back and forth direction at a set angle in order to mix the materials in the mixing container.

Abstract: A laser beam generating module capable of projecting a series of concentric circles of light is connected to the frame of a firearm in substantial alignment with the gun barrel. The laser beam can be actuated on demand, and the resultant pattern will be projected onto the target. Due to the intrinsic fan angle of the spatially projected beams, the circles displayed on the target will appear to be spaced further apart when the target is further away, and appear to be spaced closer when the target is nearer. By selecting a suitable laser fan angle, it is possible to get an immediate visual indication of the approximate range to the target increasing the potential accuracy.
