Sequence-specific nucleic acid hybridization assays are used for the detection of specific genetic sequences as indicators of genetic anomalies, mutations, and disease propensity. In addition, they are used for the detection of various biological agents and infectious pathogens. Because a complementary probe or nucleic acid sequence is required to detect a sequence of interest in a hybridization-based assay, nucleic acid sequencing techniques can rapidly determine the specific probe sequence being used for detection. This allows reverse engineered assays to be produced rapidly. In addition, it enables the circumvention of hybridization-based assays for biological agent or infectious pathogen detection by providing the information necessary to create or alter nucleic acid sequences to produce false positives or false negatives. The present invention provides methods and compositions for inhibiting the identification of specific detection sequences. More specifically, the invention provides masking sequences that mask the identity of specific detection sequences.

The invention relates to a method of querying technical domains that recognises the concepts represented by strings of characters, rather than merely comparing strings. It can be used to compute conceptual similarity between terms. The method employs string distance metrics and a cyclic progression of lexical processing to recognise constituent term concepts that are then combined to form full-term concepts by means of a grammar. Terms can be extracted and identified as being conceptually similar (or dissimilar) to other terms even if they have never previously been encountered.A key advantage is the ability to extract terms from documents based on the combination of a limited number of sub-concepts. This avoids the need for the prior identification of all possible terms that current methods require. A second key advantage is the ability to introduce or remove concepts and synonyms individually without the need to alter terms which the concept or synonym constitutes.

A device implements a method of tracking objects on a touch surface of an FTIR based touch-sensitive apparatus. An interaction map is generated that indicates local changes in interaction on the touch surface. The interaction map is processed for identification of positive and negative peaks that represent a locally increased and decreased interaction in the interaction map, respectively. To suppress the impact of interferences, a dedicated first heuristic and / or second heuristic is applied to identify potentially false peaks among the positive peaks. The first heuristic designates a positive peak as a potentially false peak when the positive peak is deemed to be associated with one or more of the negative peaks. The second heuristic designates a positive peak as a potentially false peak when the positive peak is deemed to be located along one of the movement trajectories. Movement trajectories of all objects deemed to exist on the touch surface at a preceding time point are then updated while taking the potentially false peaks into account.
