A position calculation method includes: by using a current position of a mobile object, a link candidate point position, an error variance of positions of a plurality of links included in a region around the current position, and an error variance of azimuths of the plurality of links, calculating, an evaluation value that corresponds to a probability that the mobile object is traveling upon a road corresponding to each link candidate point, for each link including the each link candidate point; and calculating the current position based upon the evaluation value, by taking the mobile object as being positioned at a link candidate point, among a plurality of link candidate points, for which the probability is highest.

Disclosed is a cell manipulating apparatus for conveying cells to a plurality of chambers provided in a chamber plate. The apparatus comprises a taking-up device adapted to take up cells to the respective taking up portions of a carrier plate placed in positions corresponding to those of said chambers in the chamber plate and a moving device adapted to move, relatively with respect to the chamber plate, the taking-up device to a position above the chamber plate. The taking-up portions may be effectively composed of pressure-controlled cavities or SiO.sub.2 films provided in the carrier plate.

A vehicle-mounted information processing apparatus such as a car-navigation system detects that a key switch of the vehicle has been set up at a Lock position (i.e., the engine is stopped). After that, the apparatus performs data reproduction of data files in an order from the oldest, then re-recording the reproduced data files with no change added thereto. Here, the above-described data files, which are stored within a magnetic disk device built in the apparatus, have been not updated for a constant time-period. This re-recording prevents a data loss caused by a thermal decay in the case where the magnetic disk device is mounted inside the vehicle that is likely to have existed under a high-temperature environment for a long time-period.

The following invention relates to an apparatus and a method for improving the rate of cell fusion. Cells contained in chambers are prevented from adhering to the surface of the walls of a chamber in which they are contained by the pulse-like changes in fluid pressure, which causes the cells to separate from the surface of the chamber.

In order to make it possible to measure the light absorption coefficient of various sorts of substances contained in a light scattering material with a high precision, the wavelength of light transmitted through the light scattering material is varied and the coefficient of light absorption is calculated, starting from a ratio of variations in the intensity of the transmitted light to variations in the wavelength.
