Abstract: Methods are provided for determining the identity of a polymorphic nucleotide in a
complex mixture of nucleic acids where one or more distinct polymorphisms can be
present in the mixture, and multiple polymorphisms can be screened in parallel. Target
nucleic acids are amplified using bridge amplification techniques. The detection and
identification of the specific polymorphic residue(s) is based on readout methods that
utilize the specificity of specific enzymes for complementary DNA sequences. These
approaches result in a labeled nucleotide covalently attached to the amplicon, where the
identity of the nucleotide is informative of the polymorphic sequence. In one aspect, the
readout process uses primer extension protocols, where the specific base incorporated
by DNA polymerase is determined by the sequence at the polymorphic site. In another
aspect, the identity of a specific base hybridized and ligated to the amplicon is determined
by the sequence at the polymorphic site. The polynucleotide to which the label has been
attached can be detected  in situ,  i.e. bound to the solid substrate used for amplification;
or can be released and detected.

Abstract: A servo circuit includes a servo channel and a processor. The servo channel
recovers servo data from servo wedges that identify respective data sectors on a
data-storage disk. The processor detects one of the servo wedges on spin up of the
disk,  i.e. , while the disk is attaining or after the disk attains an operating speed. By
detecting a servo wedge instead of a spin-up wedge to determine an initial head
position on disk spin up, such a servo circuit allows one to increase the disk's storage
capacity by reducing the number of, or altogether eliminating, spin-up servo wedges
from the disk.

Abstract: A patch panel (100) mountable to a network rack (500) includes a frame (110) and rack mounting plates (130). The frame (110) forms a central section having a longitudinal width sized to fit within the network rack (500), a predefined height, a front side, and a rear side. The rack mounting plates are provided on opposite longitudinal ends of the central section and allow the panel (100) to be mounted to a network rack (500). The central section is angled outwardly in an inverted V-shape. The central section has mountable thereon a plurality of cable connectors (400) that receive cabling (540) on the front side and the rear side of the patch panel frame (110). When mounted, the plurality of cable connectors (400) are oriented to have rear surfaces thereof face a common axis of the central section. This provides front connector surfaces that are better oriented relative to front side cabling which is provided along vertical cable managers or ducts (530) near front edges of the rack (500) rails. This orientation provides a more natural flow of cables (540) entering the patch panel (100) and reduce bending angles to less than 90°, which reduces or eliminates the need for external horizontal cable management on the front side of the patch panel (100) while maintaining adequate bend radius control. Moreover, the angled frame (110) provides an angled surface that has increased port capacity as compared to a conventional flat-faced patch panel and has an increased volume behind the panel for receiving and housing cabling. A support bar (200) may be provided on the rear side of the patch panel to support the weight of the exiting cabling.
