The present invention provides an efficient way for high throughput haplotype analysis. Several polymorphic nucleic acid markers, such as SNPs, can be simultaneously and reliably determined through multiplex PCR of single nucleic acid molecules in several parallel single molecule dilutions and the consequent statistical analysis of the results from these parallel single molecule multiplex PCR reactions results in reliable determination of haplotypes present in the subject. The nucleic acid markers can be of any distance to each other on the chromosome. In addition, an approach wherein overlapping DNA markers are analyzed can be used to link smaller haplotypes into larger haplotypes. Consequently, the invention provides a powerful new tool for diagnostic haplotyping and identifying novel haplotypes.

The first sensor collects a first group of first sensor readings of first fixed size dependent on a range of a first sensor and safeguarding requirements of a vehicle. A second sensor collects a second group of second sensor readings of second fixed size dependent on a range of a second sensor and the safeguarding requirements. A reference frame manager references the first group and the second group of readings to a vehicle coordinate reference frame. An integration module establishes a composite grid referenced to the ground based on a spatially aligned integration of the readings of the first group and the second group. A update module refreshes the composite grid upon material movement of the vehicle such that the global occupancy of each cell in the composite grid varies in accordance with the particular location of the vehicle on the terrain.

The invention relates to a method for supporting location determination of a mobile station, in which method location data are stored in and deleted from a memory, each location data item describing the location of the mobile station measured at a given measuring moment. Furthermore, in the method, a distance parameter and / or a target level corresponding to the distance parameter is determined at least for some of the stored location data; and deletion of the location data is at least partly based on the distance parameter and target level.

The present invention relates to a method of monitoring the gate opening and closing time on line by a high-voltage circuit breaker. The inception time for the breaker gate opening and closing coil with electricity can be obtained through the voltage telecommand sampling of the breaker gate opening and closing coil, the time for the separation and connection of breaker head can be obtained through three-phase voltage telecommand sampling of capacitance sensor of high-voltage electricity-carrying display device that is arranged on the electric power transmission lines. The time gap between the inception time of breaker gat closing coil with electricity and the finish time of separation of breaker head is calculated, then the gate opening time is worked out; the time gap between the inception time of breaker gate closing coil with electricity and the finish time of jointing of breaker head is calculated, then the gate closing time is worked out. The method of the present invention bases on the telecommand sampling of voltage signal; brings the operating facilities of electric power system into full play; and overcomes the shortcomings of previous online monitoring methods; thereby making the verification of time point more conveniently and accurately, and reducing the cost, thus being favorable for the realization of state repairing of the breaker.

A method for autonomously driving a motor vehicle in a car wash to enhance comfort and safety includes detecting a passageway of the car wash and determine with vehicle sensors the vehicle position and the vehicle orientation of the vehicle relative to the passageway. The vehicle is subsequently automatically driven into the car wash based on the vehicle position and the vehicle orientation, and automatically stopped in a washing position. After washing is complete, a completion signal signaling completion of a working step of the car wash is received or detected by the motor vehicle. Finally, the motor vehicle is automatically driven out of the car wash in response to the completion signal.

The invention relates to a radiation detection device for integrating the number of optical photons in a light pulse. A system, a method and a computer program product are also disclosed. The radiation detection device comprises an optical detector pixel array which has a plurality of pixel cells that can be triggered by optical photons, a plurality of pixel cell trigger state sensing circuits, and a summing unit. Each pixel cell trigger state sensing circuit generates a digital signal having either a first predetermined amplitude indicative of a triggered pixel cell, or a second predetermined amplitude indicative of a non-triggered pixel cell. The summing unit generates an analogue signal whose amplitude corresponds to the number of triggered pixel cells and thereby performs the desired integration. The analogue signal may further cause a timing unit to generate a timestamp when a predetermined accumulated optical photon count condition is met.
