Abstract: Systems and methods for analyzing overlapping sequence information can obtain first and second overlapping sequence information for a polynucleotide, align the first and second sequence information, determine a degree of agreement between the first and second sequence information for a location along the polynucleotide, and determine a base call and a quality value for the location.

Abstract: In some implementations, a cathode is formed by (1) providing a cathode additive including (a) a matrix including a lithium compound, and (b) metal nanostructures embedded in the matrix; and (2) combining the cathode additive with a cathode active material to form a mixture. In other implementations, a cathode is formed by (1) providing a cathode additive including a compound of lithium and at least one non-metal or metalloid; and (2) combining the cathode additive with a cathode active material to form a mixture.

Abstract: A UV sterilization chamber is provided to a humidifier having a water reservoir, a humidifying element and a pathway for directing water provided by the water reservoir to the humidifying element of the humidifier. The pathway is provided in a humidifier base, over which a humidifier enclosure is removably placed. The UV sterilization chamber includes a serpentine portion of the pathway and a UV radiation source positioned for illuminating the portion of the pathway with UV light. Upwardly-directed projections in the base border a perimeter of the pathway; and a downwardly-directed projection of the UV radiation source extends between the upwardly-directed projections when the enclosure is mated with the base, thereby locating the UV radiation source over the portion of the pathway. A switch disables the UV radiation source when the enclosure is removed from the base.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a network-based method and system for filtering a junk message. The method includes the following procedures: word-segmenting a target message to obtain characteristic elements within the target message; obtaining probabilities of the characteristic elements in the target message according to a predefined keyword library, the keyword library being updated periodically; and accumulating the probabilities of the characteristic elements in the target message, comparing accumulated probabilities with a predetermined threshold, and concluding the target message is a junk message if the result is greater than the predetermined threshold. Using a predefined keyword library for verification of a target message avoids time delay and system resource waste caused by massive and complicated computations during message verification in existing technologies, thus satisfying the requirement of real-time filtering of junk messages.
