| 20090280484 | METHODS FOR GENE MAPPING AND HAPLOTYPING - The present invention is directed to methods for providing a definitive haplotype of a subject. The haplotype information generated by the methods described herein is more accurate than that provided by prior art methods that only give an inferred haplotype. Accordingly, in one aspect the present invention provides a method for determining a definitive haplotype of a subject the method including the steps of providing a substantially isolated haploid element from the subject, and obtaining nucleotide sequence information from the haploid element. Applicants propose that the use of a substantially isolated haploid element eliminates the problem of incorrect or misleading inferences concerning the phase of two or more loci within a haplotype, and allows for revelation of two or more participatory genes within a haplotype, uncomplicated by differences in modes of inheritance. The guarantee of strictly cis-phase associations is provided in the present methods by the use of a substantially isolated haploid element as starting material for sequence analysis. | 11-12-2009 |

| 20100173309 | SITU METHODS FOR GENE MAPPING AND HAPLOTYPING - The present invention is directed to in situ methods for providing a definitive haplotype of a subject. The haplotype information generated by the methods described herein is more accurate than that provided by prior art methods that only give an inferred haplotype. Accordingly, in one aspect the present invention provides an in situ method for obtaining genetic information for a polyploid subject, the method including the steps of obtaining a biological sample from the subject, the sample containing: (i) at least one paternally-derived DNA molecule, and/or (ii) at least one maternally-derived DNA molecule, analyzing any one or more of the paternally- or maternally-derived DNA molecules for nucleotide sequence information, wherein the step of analyzing determines whether any two DNA markers are present in cis on one chromosome, or in trans across two sister chromosomes. Use of in situ methods such as FISH allows for the provision of phase-specific information on DNA markers without recourse to methods for physically separating sister chromosomes. Applicants propose that method eliminates the problem of incorrect or misleading inferences concerning the phase of two or more loci within a haplotype, and allows for revelation of two or more participatory genes within a haplotype, uncomplicated by differences in modes of inheritance. | 07-08-2010 |

| 20080218334 | Grouping Wireless Lighting Nodes According to a Building Room Layout - A method for determining the relative locations of plural wirelessly controllable building service device nodes and switching control nodes within a building. At least some of the plural building service device nodes are located in different rooms of the building and should be allocated to switching control nodes on a room-specific basis. Wireless communication is established between the nodes to determine relative spatial positions of selected nodes using received signal strength indication (RSSI) values indicative of a distance of separation between two communicating nodes. The building service device nodes are then grouped into two or more groups, a first group corresponding to service device nodes in one of said different rooms and a second group corresponding to service device nodes in another of said different rooms, based on spatial distribution of service device nodes as indicated by the RSSI values, which are strongly affected by walls separating the rooms. The service device nodes of each group are then allocated to at least one associated switching control node. | 09-11-2008 |

| 20110122796 | USING POSITION FOR NODE GROUPING - A computer algorithm for grouping a derived spatial arrangement of wireless communication nodes. The wireless communication nodes form a wireless communication network and are configured to control the operation of luminaires in a lighting array. The position of each node in the communication network corresponds to the position of a particular luminaire in the lighting array. The algorithm divides the arrangement of nodes into a plurality of spatial groups, each of which is defined by a line which joins the group's member nodes together. The groups are ranked according to their statistical attributes and a number of groups are selected as control groups, such that the member nodes, and hence luminaires, of each control group may be controlled by a single switch or sensor. | 05-26-2011 |
