Abstract: A method and apparatus for managing solar power collection. A position of the sun is identified relative to an aerospace vehicle while the aerospace vehicle is moving along a flight path. A level of power generation is identified by a solar power generation system while the aerospace vehicle moves along the flight path using a threat management module and equivalent radar signature data. The threat management module uses the equivalent radar signature data to identify the level of power generation by the aerospace vehicle from different positions of the sun relative to the aerospace vehicle, and the equivalent radar signature data is based on solar power generation signature data identifying the level of power generation for the different positions of the sun relative to the aerospace vehicle. A change in the flight path that results in a desired level of power generation is identified by the solar power generation system.

Abstract: The invention provides an automated method of simultaneously identifying sequence information extending a plurality of seed sequences. The method consists of: (a) searching a plurality of target sequences with a multiplex query comprising a plurality of seed sequences; (b) identifying a plurality of target sequences substantially aligning with a plurality of seed sequences; (c) selecting a plurality of substantially aligned target sequences containing sequence extending information for a plurality of seed sequences, and (d) repeating steps (a) through (c) using the selected plurality of substantially aligned target sequences as a plurality of seed sequences. Also provided is an automated method of simultaneous identifying a plurality of gene sequences within a plurality of genomic region sequences.
