Abstract: A system and method are described for maintaining a recharging station database for electric vehicles based upon recharging event data provided by electric vehicles equipped with telematics units. The recharging station server computer system is configured to receive recharging event information corresponding to a recharging event for an electric vehicle battery unit by an identified recharger, the recharging event information including at least a measurement relating to an electrical infrastructure providing power to the identified recharger. The system is further configured to process the recharging event information to render a diagnostic result relating to an electrical infrastructure providing power to the identified recharger. The computer system issues an alert based upon a detected condition in the electrical infrastructure during the processing.

Abstract: A detection system may include a moveable tray configured to hold a multi-cell container of one or more reagents and/or one or more samples. A driving mechanism may be configured to reciprocate the tray in the first linear direction to agitate contents of the container, and may be configured to conduct electrochemiluminescence or other measurements on samples located in the container. The system may include an apparatus for retaining a container, a device for detecting the presence of a container, an apparatus for training a probe to locate and aspirate one or more reagents and/or one or more samples, a latching mechanism for moving parts in the system, and/or a positive displacement pump. A controller may be configured to control linear reciprocation of the tray to have one of a piecewise constant velocity profile and piecewise constant acceleration profile in which the number of piecewise constants does not exceed 24.
