20120109598 | Predictive Model for Use in Sequencing-by-Synthesis - A method of obtaining a more accurate estimate of a signal correction parameter(s) in sequencing-by-synthesis operations, such as incomplete extension rates, carry forward rates, and/or signal droop rates. The sequencing operation produces signal data. A model is constructed to simulate a population of template strands as it undergoes the sequencing process and becomes divided into different phase-states as the sequencing-by-synthesis progresses. For example, the model may be a phase-state model. The output from the model is used to adjust the signal correction parameter(s). For example, the model may be fitted to the signal data. This fitting results in a more accurate estimate of the signal correction parameter(s). In another embodiment, the signal droop rate is modeled as a decaying function and this decaying function is fitted to the signal data to obtain an improved estimate of the signal droop rate. | 05-03-2012 |

20120121210 | Bag with Cover - A bag includes an outer body portion or outer shell which encloses a storage compartment. The bag also includes a pocket non-removably attached to the bag which is accessible through the outer body portion or outer shell and is freely contained within the storage compartment. The pocket is configured to retain a cover, which is non-removably attached thereto. The cover is a flexible material that is water resistant or water repellant. The cover can be collapsed and stored within the pocket or can be withdrawn from the pocket and spread over the outer body portion or outer shell of the bag, thereby protecting it, for example, from inclement weather. | 05-17-2012 |
20130221049 | BAG WITH VARIABLE DIAMETER CORDING - An apparatus for carrying objects includes a bag and at least one cord. The bag has a top portion and a bottom portion. The top portion of the bag includes a channel. The cord includes a first end portion coupled to the bottom portion of the bag, a second end portion coupled to the bottom portion of the bag, and a middle portion positioned between the first end portion and the second end portion. The middle portion of the cord includes a first length of cord which extends slidably through the channel and a second length of cord which is positioned outside of the channel. The second length of cord has a substantially larger diameter than the first length of cord. | 08-29-2013 |
20130277406 | Sternum Clip for Pack With Straps - A backpack assembly includes a pack configured to be worn on a wearer's back. The backpack assembly also includes straps coupled to the pack and configured to extend over the wearer's chest. The straps include at least one first side strap and at least one second side strap. The backpack assembly also includes a strap retainer. The strap retainer includes a closed loop on a first side of the strap retainer and an open loop on a second side of the strap retainer. The at least one first side strap is slidably retained within the closed loop and the at least one second side strap is slidably retained within the open loop. The open loop also includes a side opening through which the at least one second side straps can be inserted and removed. | 10-24-2013 |
20140355908 | BAG WITH ADJUSTABLE MOUTH AND VARIABLE DIAMETER CORDING - An apparatus for carrying objects includes a bag and at least one cord. The bag has a top portion and a bottom portion. The top portion of the bag includes an adjustable mouth and a channel. The cord includes a first end portion coupled to the bottom portion of the bag, a second end portion coupled to the bottom portion of the bag, and a middle portion positioned between the first end portion and the second end portion. The middle portion of the cord includes a first length of cord which extends slidably through the channel and a second length of cord which is positioned outside of the channel. The second length of cord has a substantially larger diameter than the first length of cord. | 12-04-2014 |

20140271318 | METHODS OF MAKING METAL MATRIX COMPOSITE AND ALLOY ARTICLES - In one aspect, methods of making freestanding metal matrix composite articles and alloy articles are described. A method of making a freestanding composite article described herein comprises disposing over a surface of the temporary substrate a layered assembly comprising a layer of infiltration metal or alloy and a hard particle layer formed of a flexible sheet comprising organic binder and the hard particles. The layered assembly is heated to infiltrate the hard particle layer with metal or alloy providing a metal matrix composite, and the metal matrix composite is separated from the temporary substrate. Further, a method of making a freestanding alloy article described herein comprises disposing over the surface of a temporary substrate a flexible sheet comprising organic binder and powder alloy and heating the sheet to provide a sintered alloy article. The sintered alloy article is then separated from the temporary substrate. | 09-18-2014 |
20140272446 | WEAR-RESISTANT CLADDINGS - In one aspect, articles are described herein comprising wear-resistant claddings. An article described herein, in some embodiments, comprises a metallic substrate and a cladding adhered to the substrate, the cladding including a metal matrix composite layer comprising at least one hard particle tile having a pore structure infiltrated with matrix metal or matrix alloy. Infiltration of the pore structure of the hard particle tile by the matrix metal or alloy can render the tile fully dense or substantially fully dense. | 09-18-2014 |
