This is because the probe design for each distinct genomic target is unique and thus the performance between individual probes may vary.

Not the individual probes but the longest unique 'probe patterns', containing several adjacent probes must be considered as neighbourhood elements for all such probe patterns.

After establishing and connecting the neighbourhoods, all individual probes in a pattern can be ordered easily.

Mr. Toon added that the Georgia Tech researchers were not yet sure whether the problem was with the individual probe, or was a more generic one.

Each of the individual probes contains both an array of microscopic sensors to sample important health parameters and a fancy data system that first stores and then transmits the recorded information upon receipt of an enabling command from the scanner.

The proposed computational method appears to reduce the inflation of variance caused by variable weighting of individual probes within a set, but cannot compensate for variance from other sources.

In early designs, the profiles and values of individual probes were chosen to compensate for fuel tank shape and aircraft pitch and roll attitudes.

Data transfer speed is limited to the kilobits-per-second range for an individual probe, which amounts to a few megabits for an entire array.

Then she needed to concentrate on the information Ezra was giving her to encode the duties and destinations of the individual probes.
