Summary of the patent applications from ILLUMINA, INC. on June 27th, 2024

1. Summary: The recent patents filed by Illumina, Inc. focus on innovative technologies in DNA sequencing and microfabrication. The first patent involves context-dependent base calling using k-mer-specific centroids to enhance sequencing accuracy. The second patent describes a method for precise functionalization of microscale features using positive photoresist. The third patent introduces electromechanical sequence detectors for efficient entity detection in various applications.

2. Key Points of Patents: - Patent 1: Context-dependent base calling with k-mer-specific centroids for improved sequencing accuracy. - Memory stores k-mer-specific centroids for k-mers. - Centroids are learned through training a base calling pipeline. - Predicted centroids are generated by transforming time series data. - Training loss is determined by comparing predicted intensity values with known values. - Updated centroids are used at runtime for base calling based on k-mer context.

- Patent 2: Method for precise functionalization of microscale features using positive photoresist. - Positive photoresist deposited over substrate with depressions. - Exposed to UV light at non-perpendicular, non-parallel angle. - Soluble and insoluble portions of photoresist in each depression. - Functionalized layers selectively deposited over substrate portions.

- Patent 3: Electromechanical sequence detectors for efficient entity detection. - System includes mechanical-change sensor, shape-to-signal transduction component, analysis subsystem, and control subsystem. - Enables real-time monitoring and adjustment of operational parameters.

3. Notable Applications: - DNA sequencing and genomics research for enhanced accuracy and efficiency. - Microelectronics manufacturing, microfluidics, and biomedical devices for precise functionalization. - Security systems, industrial automation, robotics, medical devices, and environmental monitoring for efficient entity detection.
