In general, the presently disclosed technology relates to identification of cancer subtypes. More specifically, the technology relates to methods for determining molecular drivers of cancer and/or progression using a multivariate image data and statistical analysis of in-situ molecular markers and morphological characteristics in the same cells of a biological sample suspected of b cancer. This analysis takes place after a single acquisition that obtains the molecular and anatomic morphology data in parallel. The analysis compares specific morphological and molecular markers to known samples exhibiting particular genetic drivers of the cancer. This method provides statistical information that allows for an increased confidence in the identification of specific molecular drivers of the cancer. |

What is disclosed is a multi-directional momentum-change sensor, adaptable to a variety of practical applications, including, but not limited to, its use as a collision-detector for automatic passenger-safety airbag deployment systems in a motor vehicle. In one embodiment, the sensor is an electro-mechanical switch having a pivotable boom assembly that is responsive to sudden changes to forward and lateral momentum that exceeds a predetermined threshold. The pivotable boom assembly is able to close electrical circuits to external circuitry that pertain to the position of the boom member in order to allow for the sensing of collisions along different vectors and facilitate safety responses, such as the deployment of automobile passenger-safety airbags. |

System on a moving object for monitoring components or subsystems includes sensors for obtaining a value of a measurable characteristic of the component or subsystem and generating a signal indicative or representative of the value, and a processor operatively connected to the sensors for receiving the signal from each sensor and analyzing the value of the measurable characteristic to determine that the component or subsystem has a fault condition, e.g., an actual or potential fault or failure. A communications unit is coupled to the processor and transmits a diagnostic or prognostic message relating to the determination of the fault condition of the component or system to a remote site, upon direction or command by the processor. The processor may be part of a diagnostics module and configured to recognize a predetermined fault condition, using for example pattern recognition technologies. |

A sensor system (1; 20; 30; 40) is proposed for detecting forces which, particularly in the case of a motor vehicle, lead to a deformation of components, e.g. body parts (10) as the result of an accident. The sensor system (1; 20; 30; 40) has a number of contact elements (2, 3, 4; 21, 22, 23; 31, 32, 33) which are arranged on the component (10) staggered one behind the other in a possible deformation direction (11), compressible insulation layers (5, 6, 7; 24, 25; 35, 36) being disposed between the contact elements (2, 3, 4; 21, 22, 23; 31, 32, 33). The contact elements (2, 3, 4; 21, 22, 23; 31, 32, 33) are electroconductively connected to an electronic evaluation circuit by which a contacting and/or de-contacting of adjacent contact elements (2, 3, 4; 21, 22, 23; 31, 32, 33), caused by a deformation, is able to be detected and converted into control and or regulating signals. |
