Abstract: A method and device for compressing data on position information. The shape vector of an object road section is re-sampled, and the sampling point is expressed by digitized angle information. For example, in a method in which the angle resolution .delta. serving as the angle digitization unit is adequately determined to compress the position information, the re-sample interval is determined according to the predetermined re-sample length L, the shape of a road shown in the digital map is divided into one or more sections, the shape of the road in each section is re-sampled with the predetermined re-sample length L, the position of the road shape is expressed by a data sequence of the digitized angle information representing the position of the sampling point, the data on this data sequence is converted into variable-length codes, and the codes are transmitted. The angle resolution .delta. is varied with the re-sample length L so that the angle resolution .delta. is made small when the re-sample length is long or made larger when it is short.  Thus, information on a position such as of a road can be correctly transmitted with a small amount of data.

Inventor: BUTTRY DANIEL A
IPC: G01N27/453
Filed: 2004-07-08
Abstract: The present invention relates to detecting a target by moving it into proximity to a surface which has affinity for the target. The movement can involve the use of electrophoresis, which can be enhanced by the presence of oxidizing and reducing reagents, which lowers the voltage at which electrophoretic force can be generated. This lower potential allows a broader range of means by which the target can be detected,including detection during concentration, and the ability to detect multiple times without fixation of the target. A tag can be bound to the target so as to confer movement and/or detectability. The target can be molecules, such as nucleic acid or proteins, and is conveniently microorganisms. When immobilized on the surface, the microorganisms can be identified and grown, allowing the determination of the susceptibility of the microorganisms to various antimicrobial drugs.
