  • VEHICLE MANAGEMENT FOR A PREDETERMINED EVENT
    Publication number: 20240132051
    Abstract: In some implementations, a method may include obtaining target fault data indicating a preselected fault for a vehicle having a hydrogen source. In addition, the method may include obtaining vehicle fault data indicating a fault of the vehicle. The method may include identifying a match between the fault and the preselected fault. Moreover, the method may include purging, in response to the identifying the match, hydrogen from the hydrogen source so as to reduce consequences of a battery thermal event by reducing the likelihood of a hydrogen-fueled fire.

  • Devices and methods for detecting nucleic acid analytes in samples
    Patent number: 6165714
    Abstract: The invention provides devices and methods for use in detecting nucleic acid analytes in samples. The devices each include a solid support to which is bound a two-dimensional distribution or field of nucleic acid probes that each bind to a nucleic acid analyte, which is detected by use of amplification methods.

  • Methods and compositions for reducing false positive signals in an RNA amplification system
    Patent number: 5464744
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a composition comprising ribonuclease treated RNA or DNA dependent RNA polymerase, and the use of same in amplification methods. The treatment of the RNA or DNA dependent RNA polymerase with ribonuclease reduces or eliminates false positives which result from the presence of an endogenous or contaminating replicatable template species in the Q.beta. replicase enzyme preparation.
