The present disclosure provides methods for determining the ploidy status of a chromosome in a gestating fetus from genotypic data measured from a mixed sample of DNA comprising DNA from both the mother of the fetus and from the fetus, and optionally from genotypic data from the mother and father. The ploidy state is determined by using a joint distribution model to create a plurality of expected allele distributions for different possible fetal ploidy states given the parental genotypic data, and comparing the expected allelic distributions to the pattern of measured allelic distributions measured in the mixed sample, and choosing the ploidy state whose expected allelic distribution pattern most closely matches the observed allelic distribution pattern. The mixed sample of DNA may be preferentially enriched at a plurality of polymorphic loci in a way that minimizes the allelic bias, for example using massively multiplexed targeted PCR.

A structural reinforcement for a hollow section at least part of at least one of whose surfaces is the internal surface of an external panel comprising a rigid reinforcing member having a shape that substantially conforms to the cross section to be reinforced. An expandable adhesive material is provided over a portion of the surface of the rigid reinforcing member and the shape of the rigid reinforcing member and the amount and location of the expandable adhesive is such that upon foaming the foam contacts and bonds to the internal surfaces of the hollow section other than the interior surface of the external panel. In this way deformation of the external body panel during the foaming and/or cooling of the foamed expandable material is reduced or prevented.

A secondary window covering is disclosed. The window covering can be placed on the interior or exterior of an existing windows. The covering is configurable to windows or nearly any shape including rectangular, arched or round. The covering provides additional thermal protection, security and tinting. A magnetic seal secures one or more secondary window coverings to the existing window. An alarm system can be incorporated into the secondary window to provide additional security. A valve is incorporated into the window or frame to fill the area between the existing window and the secondary window with gas, or vacuum the area between the existing window and the secondary window. The construction of the secondary window allows the secondary window to be easily removed and reinstalled when required for seasonal or year long protection.

The present invention discloses an intelligent traffic safety pre-warning method, a cloud server, onboard-terminals and a system. The method comprises: a step (101): the onboard-terminal establishes a communication connection with the cloud server; a step (102): the onboard-terminal acquires data, and uploads data calculated based on the acquired data to the cloud server; a step (103): the onboard-terminal receives feedbacks from the cloud server, the feedback comprising the probability that the current vehicle has an accident within a set range of the current road segment; and a step (104): the onboard-terminal receives the probability that the current vehicle has an accident within the set range of the current road segment, and then transmits the feedback to the driver by human-computer interaction. The method, the cloud server, the onboard-terminals and the system fill in the gaps in traffic safety, danger pre-warning, and low visibility driving safety guarantee in rain, fog and the like in the traffic field, and ensure that the driving behavior is safer.

A cordless magnetic drill is disclosed. The drill comprises a control unit, a motor which is connected with the control unit, a gearbox which is connected with the motor, a power source which is connected with the control unit, and a magnetic base. The gear box is used for regulating the output rotation speed of the motor. The power source is used for supplying power to the motor. The magnetic base can be an electromagnetic chuck, an electro-permanent magnetic chuck, a permanent magnetic chuck or the combination of a permanent magnetic chuck and an electromagnetic chuck. The control unit is used for controlling the operations of the motor and the power source and establishing or cutting off the connection between the power source and the motor. The cordless magnetic drill of the present invention is convenient and very safe to use.

Aspects of the invention can provide a projector capable of forming a projected image with an apparently seamless and smooth image quality in the stable state. As for the image light passed through a first unit, the polarization direction thereof can be appropriately rotated by a λ/2 phase plate, and a part of the image light can be split in the Y direction by a birefringent plate. When this is projected as it is, an image composed of a plurality of two dimensionally arranged pixels, pixels corresponding to the split image, and a black matrix area can be formed on a screen. As for the image light passed through a second unit, the polarization direction thereof can be appropriately rotated by a λ/2 phase plate, and a part of the image light can be split in the Y direction by a birefringent plate. Then, an image composed of the pixels in the previous stages, the pixels corresponding to the split images, and the black matrix area can be formed on the screen.
