Abstract:
Systems and methods facilitate the location and/or identification of repetitive DNA patterns, such as CpG islands, Alu repeats, tandem repeats and various types of satellite repeats. These repetitive elements can be found within a chromosome, within a genome or across genomes of various species. The systems and methods apply image processing operators to find prominent features in the vertical and horizontal direction of the DNA spectrograms. The systems and methods for detecting and/or classifying repetitive DNA patterns include: (a) a comparative histogram method, (b) feature selection and classification using support vector machines and genetic algorithms, and (c) generation of a spectrovideo from a plurality of spectral images.
Method And System For Detecting And Identifying Electronic Accessories Or Peripherals

Aspects of a method and system for detecting and identifying electronic accessories or peripherals utilizing a hardware audio CODEC are provided. In this regard, a hardware audio CODEC may be operable to compare one or more voltages on one or more biased pins of an accessory or peripheral port to one or more reference voltages and generate one or more digital representations of the one or more voltages on the biased one or more pins. An accessory or peripheral attached to the accessory or peripheral port may be identified based on the comparison and/or the generated one or more digital representations. The one or more bias voltages may be controlled based on a result of the comparison and/or the generated digital representations. The one or more bias voltages may be reduced after an attached accessory or peripheral has been identified.

International Classification:
H04N 7/16 H04L 12/28
US Classification:
725151, 370390
Abstract:
Advertisements or other types of targeted information are delivered to set-top boxes or other user interface devices of a signal distribution system. In one aspect of the invention, at least one multicast update comprising updated targeted information is sent to the user interface devices during a multicast update period. If a given one of the user interface devices is unable to obtain a complete set of the updated targeted information from the multicast update before timeout of the multicast update period, a unicast update comprising at least a portion of the updated targeted information is sent to the given user interface device during a unicast update period. The unicast update may be sent responsive to a request from the given user interface device for a designated portion of the updated targeted information.

International Classification:
G06F 19/20 G06F 19/12 C12Q 1/68 G06F 19/18
Abstract:
A method of identifying co-expressed coding and noncoding genes is disclosed. The method may include receiving genetic sequences, mapping the genetic sequences to known coding and noncoding genes, correlating the mapped genes, and generating a co-expression network. A system for generating a co-expression network and providing the co-expression network to a user on a display is disclosed. The system may include a memory, one or more processors, one or more databases, and a display.
