Abstract: A carrier, such as an autonomous surface treatment device, e.g., a robotic vacuum cleaner, has motive units, such as wheels, for transporting the carrier over a field of operation. The state of the carrier, which can be its position on the field of operation, is determined based, at least in part, on the actual track width of the motive units which will change depending on the carrier's driving mode. For example, when the carrier is operating in a driving mode where it is turning, the actual track width of the motive units will be different from the actual track width of those units when the carrier is proceeding straight ahead. A determination is made of the driving mode in which the carrier is operating at the time its state is to be determined, and the actual track width of the motive units that corresponds to that driving mode is employed in determining the state of the carrier.

Abstract: Methods of obtaining a sample of target nucleic acid from cells containing the target nucleic acid and genomic DNA or RNA are disclosed. In contrast to prior art protocols, this method does not require the cells containing the target nucleic acid to be lysed and instead is based on the observation when cells are suspended in an aqueous medium and the target nucleic acid are released into the medium through the cell walls. The invention therefore helps to avoid the use of cell lysis, heating, extremes of pH, water immiscible solvents, and electrical fields used in prior art nucleic acid extraction methods. The present invention is particularly applicable to the separation of non-genomic nucleic acid, such as cellular vector DNA or RNA, self-replicating satellite nucleic acids or plasmid DNA, from genomic nucleic acids, such as host cell chromosomes and ribosomal RNA.

Abstract: A multiplicity of horizontal axis rotors are coaxially attached, at spaced intervals, to an elongate driveshaft. This driveshaft with attached rotors is aimed, not directly into the wind, but at a slightly offset angle, allowing each rotor to encounter a wind stream having fresh wind, substantially undisturbed by the wake of upwind rotors. That offset angle may be in the horizontal plane, and is maintained by a passive arrangement of components that may include a tail. In high winds the turbine is allowed to turn across the wind or furl sideways to protect it from overspeed. The space between rotors allows the turbine to be mounted atop an elevating structure wider than a normal tower. Such a wider mount may be a tripod tower, a guyed tower with guy wires attached to the tower at a point higher than the lowest point reached by the blades, or even a building.
