Abstract: A sequencing data analysis method, a device and a computer-readable medium for microsatellite instability. The present invention can use NGS sequencing results to determine whether the microsatellite instability is present. The sequencing data analysis method can significantly improve detection sensitivity without reducing specificity, and can quickly and automatically evaluate a stable or unstable status of each MSI locus with high throughput, high sensitivity, and high specificity. By combining the statuses for all MSI loci in each sample, the samples can be comprehensively evaluated as MSS, MSI-L, or MSI-H.

Abstract: A card edge connector includes an insulative elongated housing, a plurality of contacts disposed in the housing, and a pair of rotatable ejectors at two ends of the housing. The housing includes a pair of side walls extending along the longitudinal direction with a receiving slot therebetween in a transverse direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, and a pair of towers at two opposite ends of the housing in the longitudinal direction. The receiving slot is configured to receive a card type memory module. The pair of ejectors are disposed in the corresponding towers, respectively. Each ejector includes a kicker at the bottom wherein a tip of the kicker will not invade into the space between the pair of outermost contacts so as not interfere with the corresponding outermost contacts when the ejector is rotated to be at an open/ejecting position.

Abstract: A DNA probe library for hybridization with microsatellite loci associated with microsatellite instability (MSI) detection. The said DNA probe library comprises one or more DNA probes that are capable of hybridizing with the MSI status-related microsatellite loci. Among the said DNA probes, probes for the MSI-related microsatellite loci are shown in the following sequences: SEQ ID NOS. 1-66. In addition, the present invention provides a method for enriching and detecting the MSI-related microsatellite loci using the probe library. The combination of this method and next-generation sequencing technology (NGS) can greatly improve the sensitivity, accuracy and comprehensiveness of the MSI detection.

Abstract: Embodiments generally disclosed herein relate to a sub-wavelength multi-port codesign approach between the unit transceiver element and the integrated EM interface to enable a generalized broadband MIMO array with individually programmable element patterns. The co-design approach allows processing of radiated signals at the antenna level distinct from classical arrays. The transmitter and receiver architectures with the integrated EM interface are implemented in 65-nm CMOS and have a bandwidth of 37-73 GHz. Wireless links with data rates up to 12 Gb/s are demonstrated across the spectrum with a wide range of reconfigurability of the active EM interface. The multifunctional EM interface and the broadband transceivers can enable future efficient and compact MIMO arrays for reliable links exploiting frequency, spatial, pattern and polarization diversities.

Abstract: A card edge connector includes an insulative elongated housing defining an elongated slot extending along a longitudinal direction. Two rows of contacts are disposed in the housing so as to be paired in each cross-sectional plane in a transverse direction. A pair of towers are located at two opposite ends of the housing in the longitudinal direction. A pair of ejectors/lockers are disposed in the corresponding towers and rotational about a pivot extending along the transverse direction. Each ejector has a bottom kicker adapted to intimately confront a bottom edge of the memory module for ejecting the memory module out of the housing. The kicker slightly interferes with the contacting sections of the neighboring contacts when the ejector is located at an outer position so as to be retained in position with regard to the housing.
