20130252824 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CLEANING NOISY GENETIC DATA FROM TARGET INDIVIDUALS USING GENETIC DATA FROM GENETICALLY RELATED INDIVIDUALS - A system and method for determining the genetic data for one or a small set of cells, or from fragmentary DNA, where a limited quantity of genetic data is available, are disclosed. Genetic data for the target individual is acquired and amplified using known methods, and poorly measured base pairs, missing alleles and missing regions are reconstructed using expected similarities between the target genome and the genome of genetically related subjects. In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, incomplete genetic data is acquired from embryonic cells, fetal cells, or cell-free fetal DNA isolated from the mother's blood, and the incomplete genetic data is reconstructed using the more complete genetic data from a larger sample diploid cells from one or both parents, with or without genetic data from haploid cells from one or both parents, and/or genetic data taken from other related individuals. | 09-26-2013 |

20140032128 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CLEANING NOISY GENETIC DATA AND DETERMINING CHROMOSOME COPY NUMBER - Disclosed herein is a system and method for increasing the fidelity of measured genetic data, for making allele calls, and for determining the state of aneuploidy, in one or a small set of cells, or from fragmentary DNA, where a limited quantity of genetic data is available. Poorly or incorrectly measured base pairs, missing alleles and missing regions are reconstructed using expected similarities between the target genome and the genome of genetically related individuals. In accordance with one embodiment, incomplete genetic data from an embryonic cell are reconstructed at a plurality of loci using the more complete genetic data from a larger sample of diploid cells from one or both parents, with or without haploid genetic data from one or both parents. In another embodiment, the chromosome copy number can be determined from the measured genetic data, with or without genetic information from one or both parents. | 01-30-2014 |

20140118106 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IDENTIFYING PROCESS MOLDED PARTS - A system and method are provided for reading and identifying molded products based on detecting intentionally introduced defects in the molded products that were included to identify and authenticate the molded products, or to confirm compatibility of the molded products in devices in which the molded products are installed for use. Process conditions in the fabrication or formation of melt processed parts are modified to deliberately introduce surface, detectable defects into the melt processed parts. A Quality Review (QR) code that specifies a compilation of at least some of the actual defects that are present in the molded part is provided, potentially encrypted, for comparison purposes. | 05-01-2014 |
20140124982 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR EMPLOYING MAGNETIC ASSISTANCE IN PRECISION WIRE PLACEMENT WHEN PRODUCING OVERMOLDED PRODUCTS - A system and method are provided for using magnetic elements to secure thin wires precisely in an injection molding process in a manner that matches a three-dimensional shape of the an injection molded product produced by the injection molding (overmolding) process. The thin wires are substantially immobilized in a manner that is designed to generally overcome the tendency of the thin wires, which have little mechanical strength, to normally deflect during an injection molding process by employing the magnetic forces produced by embedded magnets. Magnets are integrated into either the cavity or core of a mold structure and the thin wires are placed on those magnets to keep the wires in place during an injection molding process that allows the thin wires to be overmolded. A balance of the core and/or cavity of the mold will be formed of a non-magnetic material. | 05-08-2014 |
