Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and systems for detecting multiple different nucleotides in a sample. In particular, the disclosure provides for detection of multiple different nucleotides in a sample utilizing fewer detection moieties than the number of nucleotides being detected and/or fewer imaging events than the number of nucleotides being detected.

Abstract: A neuromodulation therapy is delivered via at least one electrode implanted subcutaneously and superficially to a fascia layer superficial to a nerve of a patient. In one example, an implantable medical device is deployed along a superficial surface of a deep fascia tissue layer superficial to a nerve of a patient. Electrical stimulation energy is delivered to the nerve through the deep fascia tissue layer via implantable medical device electrodes.

Abstract: A commuter route selection system (10) includes a portable device (12) for receiving a travel time for at least one preselected commuter route and disseminating the travel time to a user and a central facility (14) for storing the at least one preselected commuter route and for obtaining current traffic information for the preselected commuter route. The central facility (14) transmits a current travel time for the preselected commuter route to the portable device (12).

Abstract: Vehicle navigation apparatus (10) calculates an initial route to a destination (52) via connected road segments (55, 59) defined in a road map data base. In response to a can't do-reroute signal, indicative of the vehicle user determining unsuitability of following the initial route guidance instructions, a new route (55, 60, 61, 62, 59) to the destination is provided. Automatically excluded from the,new route is a maneuver (ordered road segment pair (55-59)) and/or a road segment of the initial route. This prevents the new route from including an initial guidance instruction which was determined as unsuitable. Also, calculated routes are provided by calculating the route from a predicated position of the vehicle at a subsequent time based on the vehicle's current position, direction and rate of travel. This ensures that when the route is provided at the subsequent time, the vehicle will not have passed the first maneuver to be implemented in the calculated route.

Abstract: A portable golf cart cover which is made of a lightweight flexible material may be folded to a compact size for storage in a golf club bag. The cover is easily attached to and removed from any golf cart of the type having a roof. The cover requires a minimal number of attachment means, thereby enabling easy access to the cabin and golf club compartment. The cover may be manufactured by joining three sections using an adhesive or by heat sealing.

Abstract: A land vehicle navigation apparatus (10) has a vehicle navigation computer (11) which determines a navigation route and provides vehicle maneuver visual displays on a CRT display (13). The displays are preferably provided in the form of graphic arrow representations (26, 28) which are illustrated in perspective form with a tail of the arrow (26B, 28B) shown in the foreground and towards to the bottom of a display screen (20) and the head of the arrow (26A, 28A) shown in the background. A visual display of an effective bar graph, indicating the additional distance to be traveled prior to execution of the visually displayed vehicle maneuver, is visually provided and superimposed on the visually displayed vehicle maneuver graphic arrow. The bar graph comprises a series of stack horizontal bars (27, 29) superimposed on the arrow (26, 28) which is preferably shown in three dimensional form.

Abstract: The invention relates to the high temperature stabilization of polyol heat transfer fluids by the use of N-phenyl-p-phenylenediamines.

Abstract: A route planning system (10) uses a computer (11) and stored road data to calculate a desired route to a destination. Road data is stored in a multiple layer road map data memory (13) in hierarchical multiple layers (17, 18, 19), each layer defining roadways by stored road segments (1S1-3S7) which extend between nodes (135-365)that correspond to roadway intersections. A first or lower layer (17) of road data designates a large number of first layer vehicle roadways while a second or higher level layer (18 or 19) of road data designates only some of the large number of first layer roadways as second layer roadways. Preferably, stored second layer road segments (2S1-2S17 or 3S1-3S7) extend between intersections of the roadways designated in the second layer rather than between intersections of roadways in the second layer with roadways or road segments not designated in the second layer but designated in the first layer.

Abstract: This invention relates to the stabilization of polyurethane foam by using a combination of a phenothiazine with at least a co-stabilizing effective amount of a compound selected from the group consisting of certain dithiocarbamates, thiuramsulfides, mercaptobenzothiazole, phosphites, phosphonites, phenolic antioxidants, pentaerythritol-tetrakis(beta-laurylthiopropionate), 4,4'-thiobis(2-t-butyl-5-methylphenol) and mixtures thereof.
