PCT No. PCT/US82/00102 Sec. 371 Date Jan. 26, 1982 Sec. 102(e) Date Jan. 26, 1982 PCT Filed Jan. 26, 1982 PCT Pub. No. WO83/02700 PCT Pub. Date Aug. 4, 1983.A signal processing system is disclosed for processing dynamically varying intelligence-carrying signals represented by different frequencies by transferring these signals within a pass band narrower than the range of the frequencies. The system, although not a compressor or compandor system, makes use of a compressor circuit for compressing only signals within a predefined pass band. Active filter circuits shape the compressed signals into a predetermined power envelope having fundamental frequency signal components and harmonically related constituents of the fundamental frequencies. Another compressor circuit is used for further compressing signal constituents of the power envelope. A negative feedback arrangement provides dynamic limiting of compression by the first compressor circuit as a function of increase of compression by ...

Mechanisms are provided for implementing a personalized health care management system. The mechanisms receive a personalized health care plan for a patient having at least one health goal of the patient, and dynamic patient monitoring data from one or more patient monitoring devices associated with the patient. The mechanisms analyze the dynamic patient monitoring data to determine at least one first communication to output to the patient containing content eliciting conformance of the patient with the personalized health care plan to achieve the at least one health goal. The mechanisms send, to a patient care manager computing device of a patient care manager associated with the patient, a second communication based on results of analyzing the dynamic patient monitoring data. The second communication initiates a new communication session, or continues an existing communication session, between the patient care manager computing device and a patient communication device associated with the patient.

Provided are methods, vectors and gene constructs for enhancing expression of a recombinant nucleic acid sequence in transgenic plants and plant tissues. According to the present invention, nucleic acid sequences are obtained and/or derived from the 3′ untranslated regions of chlorophyll a/b binding protein gene and engineered to flank respective portions of a selected coding region of a vector. The vector construct may be introduced into plants and/or plant tissues through conventional or gene targeting procedures, resulting in enhanced expression of the selected coding region. In some embodiments, the selected coding region is a chimeric gene or gene fragment expressing one or more proteins known to impart a level of insecticidal activity to a transgenic plant and/or plant tissue.

Variant Classifier Based on Deep Neural Networks

Номер: US20190318806A1
Автор: KRUGLYAK Kristina M., WISE Aaron
Принадлежит: Illumina, Inc.

We introduce a variant classifier that uses trained deep neural networks to predict whether a given variant is somatic or germline. Our model has two deep neural networks: a convolutional neural network (CNN) and a fully-connected neural network (FCNN), and two inputs: a DNA sequence with a variant and a set of metadata features correlated with the variant. The metadata features represent the variant's mutation characteristics, read mapping statistics, and occurrence frequency. The CNN processes the DNA sequence and produces an intermediate convolved feature. A feature sequence is derived by concatenating the metadata features with the intermediate convolved feature. The FCNN processes the feature sequence and produces probabilities for the variant being somatic, germline, or noise. A transfer learning strategy is used to train the model on two mutation datasets. Results establish advantages and superiority of our model over traditional classifiers. 1. A neural network-implemented system , comprising: [ process an input sequence with a variant at a target position flanked by at least ten bases on each side, and', 'produce an intermediate convolved feature;, 'a convolutional neural network having at least two convolution layers and each of the convolution layers having at least five convolution filters trained over one thousand to millions of gradient update iterations to'}, mutation characteristics of the variant,', 'read mapping statistics of the variant, and', 'occurrence frequency of the variant; and, 'a metadata correlator that correlates the variant with a set of metadata features which represent'}, process a feature sequence derived from a combination of the intermediate convolved feature and the metadata features, and', 'output classification scores for likelihood that the variant is a somatic variant, a germline variant, or noise., 'a fully-connected neural network having at least two fully-connected layers trained over the one thousand to millions of ...

The first retarder has a first retardance and a first orientation with respect to the partially polarized light and the second retarder has a second retardance and a second orientation with respect to the partially polarized light. The first retarder and second retarder are oriented with respect to each other and the first retardance and the second retardance are selected such that the light output from the second retarder includes a first portion of light and a second portion of light which, if input to a modulator, would be modulated differently. Hence, the retarder stack can be used to precondition light for input to a modulator such as an electro-optic, magneto-optic or other type of modulator.

A method for making an electro-optic device or electro-optic display system having enhanced performance over conventional flat-panel displays, wherein a planarizing polymeric resin layer is spin-cast on a flat-panel backplane containing pixel circuitry. The spin-cast layer is cured to provide a flat backplane. Vias are opened in the cured polymeric resin to each pixel. Metal is deposited to fill the vias and to form a confluent, overlying metal layer on the upper surface. The metal layer is patterned and etched to form individual mirrors over each pixel.

A process for controlling the pressure within a confined volume comprising: providing a volume containing a first fluid having a first pressure and a first temperature within the volume; 5 replacing at least a portion of the first fluid within the volume with a second fluid comprising a porous foam material; sealing the volume to produce a confined volume; heating the fluid within the confined volume, such that the fluid is at a second pressure and at a second temperature; wherein the second fluid is preselected such that the second pressure is lower than had the 10 confined volume contained the first fluid only at the second temperature.
