Abstract: A hybrid valve apparatus for use with an aspiration actuator and a dispensing actuator to transfer fluid from a reservoir to a test site on a substrate surface. The hybrid valve includes a valve assembly movable between an aspiration condition and a dispensing condition, and a manifold device coupled to the valve assembly. The manifold device includes a fluid aspiration conduit having a first aspiration port in fluid communication with the aspiration actuator. On an opposite end of the aspiration conduit is a second aspiration port in selective fluid communication with the valve assembly to selectively aspirate a liquid sample slug from the reservoir into a discrete sample path when the valve assembly is in the aspiration condition. The manifold device further includes a fluid dispensing conduit having a first dispensing port in fluid comanunication with the dispensing actuator, and a second dispensing port in selective fluid communication with the valve assembly. When the valve assembly is in the dispensing condition, the sample path is fluidly coupled to the dispensing actuator to selectively dispense at least one droplet of the liquid sample slug therefrom, while simultaneously being out of fluid communication with the aspiration actuator. In contrast, in the aspiration condition, the sample path is in fluid communication with the aspiration actuator, while being out of fluid oommunication with the dispensing actuator.

Abstract: In a traffic information system, the principal component analysis of the floating car data collected in the past is performed for each traffic area. From among the bases representing the traffic data collected on the road-links in the traffic area, the bases which have strong correlation to the road-links on which real-time traffic data were collected are selected. The weighting coefficients for the selected bases are calculated by projecting the real-time traffic data onto the selected bases. The traffic estimation data are calculated by linearly combining the selected bases with the obtained weighting coefficients as the coefficients of the respective bases. The calculated traffic estimation data are used for the interpolation of the road-links on which the real-time traffic data were not collected.
