Abstract: A method for determining a lane centerline includes detecting a remote vehicle ahead of a host vehicle includes determining a trajectory of the remote vehicle that is ahead of the host vehicle, extracting features of the trajectory of the remote vehicle that is ahead of the host vehicle to generate a trajectory feature vector, and classifying the trajectory of the remote vehicle that is ahead of the host vehicle using the trajectory feature vector to determine whether the trajectory of the remote vehicle includes a lane change. The method further includes determining a centerline of the current lane using the trajectory of the remote vehicle that does not include the lane change and commanding the host vehicle to move autonomously along the centerline of the current lane to maintain the host vehicle in the current lane.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to processes for suspending stretched nucleic acids over surface features. These processes can be used to prepare stretched nucleic acids that are more active in enzymatic reactions and other reactions than those laid down on a flat surface. These processes can be achieved by using a photoresist layer on top of a substrate, stretch a nucleic acid on top of the surface, and then remove part of the photoresist to form surface features that suspend the stretched nucleic acid. Furthermore, the formation of a hydrogel layer over the stretched nucleic acid and the surface features can transfer the stretched nucleic acid to the hydrogel for further reactions, including enzymatic reactions.
