Abstract: Materials and methods are disclosed for the detection of a desired nucleic acid that contains multiple repeats of a predetermined nucleic acid target sequence, typically using nucleic acid hybridization methods. Nucleic acid hybrid detection methods can be used to qualitatively and quantitatively analyze for the presence of a desired nucleic acid. Applications of the disclosed materials and methods include the detection of nucleic acid without the need for nucleic acid amplification or isolation of a fragment containing nucleic acid target.

Abstract: An embedded terrain awareness warning system for aircraft being flown by a pilot includes a signal processing component, a protection component and a pilot vehicle interface. A method for providing an embedded terrain awareness warning system for aircraft being flown by a pilot includes providing a signal processing component, a protection component and a pilot vehicle interface. The signal processing component communicates with three-dimensional digital terrain elevation data and is able to take input data from aircraft sensors, aircraft computers or navigation systems and determine aircraft position and velocity. The protection component is in communication with the signal processing unit such that the protection component is able to determine if a potential controlled flight into terrain exists and is able to predict a recovery flight path to avoid terrain.
