A reconfigurable sensor network uses continuous-variable (CV) multipartite entangled quantum states for distributed RF sensing with uncertainties below the standard quantum limit. A CV multipartite entangled state is generated with a quantum circuit that splits a squeezed vacuum state into spatially separated optical modes that are entangled. Each optical mode is transmitted to a RF-photonic sensor that imposes, on the corresponding optical mode, a quadrature displacement based on the local properties of an RF signal. A homodyne detector then measures the quadrature displacement. A post-processor combines the measurements to estimate a global property of the RF signal, such as an angle-of-arrival. To enable distributed sensing over large distances, the RF-photonic sensors may be spatially separated by several kilometers, or more. Alternatively, the RF-photonic sensors may be integrated into a single photonic system, such as a photonic integrated circuit.

A system for lubricating multiple frac valves while allowing the operator to remain out of the red zone. A system of high flow mandrels and valves allows an operator to enter the red zone a minimal number of times. Generally, when using the system, the operator will enter the red zone prior to the fracking operation beginning to connect the various lines to each frac valve and then after the frac job is complete to disconnect the various lines from each frac valve. A high-pressure pump provides lubricant at a sufficient pressure and volume to a high-pressure manifold or high-pressure manifolds. The high-pressure manifolds supply the hose reels through valves located near the manifold. The hose reels in turn are the lines that are connected to each frac valve Using the system, the operator may remain outside of the red zone with the lubricant reservoir, the pump, the high-pressure manifolds, and the hose reels. When a well pad is shut down the operator chooses which frac valve to grease and commands the associated valve on the high-pressure manifold to open. The high-pressure pump is then actuated using the lubricant from the lubricant reservoir the pump increases the lubricant pressure to about 15,000 psi supplying it to at least a first high-pressure manifold. The high-pressure manifold then distributes the lubricant through the open valve to the desired hose reel and then to the frac valve which is inside the red zone. The operator repeats the process until each of the frac valves on the well pad are greased. The various fittings, lines, valves, and manifolds are chosen or manufactured to minimize pressure losses through the system between the high-pressure pump and the frac valve.

Next Generation DNA sequencing promises to revolutionize clinical medicine and basic research. However, while this technology has the capacity to generate hundreds of billions of nucleotides of DNA sequence in a single experiment, the error rate of approximately 1% results in hundreds of millions of sequencing mistakes. These scattered errors can be tolerated in some applications but become extremely problematic when “deep sequencing” genetically heterogeneous mixtures, such as tumors or mixed microbial populations. To overcome limitations in sequencing accuracy, a method Duplex Consensus Sequencing (DCS) is provided. This approach greatly reduces errors by independently tagging and sequencing each of the two strands of a DNA duplex. As the two strands are complementary, true mutations are found at the same position in both strands. In contrast, PCR or sequencing errors will result in errors in only one strand. This method uniquely capitalizes on the redundant information stored in double-stranded DNA, thus overcoming technical limitations of prior methods utilizing data from only one of the two strands.

This number can be generated using the number of polynucleotides for which reads for both complementary strands are detected and reads for which only one of the two complementary strands is detected.
