The invention provides methods for simultaneously amplifying multiple nucleic acid regions of interest in one reaction volume as well as methods for selecting a library of primers for use in such amplification methods. An image portion is encoded by motion compensation with respect to a reference image portion indicated by an item of motion information. The jig includes a receptacle dimensioned to receive a suture package. The system includes: a reporting module for receiving a location tracking request for the asset; a status module for dynamically determining a status of the asset; and a tracking module for obtaining the location of the asset responsive to the determined status.
