This thesis deals with the front LED headlamps in the automotive industry. This paper describes the supply options and how to control these headlamps. The theoretical part describes the parameters and communication interfaces of the NCV78343 device. The practical part is divided into three chapters. The first chapter focuses on the design of the evaluation platform, the functional blocks and the configuration options. The second chapter deals with the implementation of the control software and the last part shows the measurements that were made on the evaluation board. At the end, obtained results are summarized.

Background: The organization of risk genes within signaling pathways may provide clues about the converging neurobiological effects of risk genes for alcohol dependence. Aims: Identify risk genes and risk gene pathways for alcohol dependence. Methods: We conducted a pathway-based genome-wide association study (GWAS) of alcohol dependence using a gene-set-rich analytic approach. Approximately one million genetic markers were tested in the discovery sample which included 1409 European-American (EA) alcohol dependent individuals and 1518 EA healthy comparison subjects. An additional 681 African-American (AA) cases and 508 AA healthy subjects served as the replication sample. Results: We identified several genome-wide replicable risk genes and risk pathways that were significantly associated with alcohol dependence. After applying the Bonferroni correction for multiple testing, the 'cellextracellular matrix interactions' pathway (p<2.0E-4 in EAs) and the PXN gene (which encodes paxillin) (p=3.9E-7 in EAs) within this pathway were the most promising risk factors for alcohol dependence. There were also two nominally replicable pathways enriched in alcohol dependence-related genes in both EAs (0.015≤p≤0.035) and AAs (0.025≤p≤0.050): the 'Na+/Cl- dependent neurotransmitter transporters' pathway and the 'other glycan degradation' pathway. Conclusions: These findings provide new evidence highlighting several genes and biological signaling processes that may be related to the risk for alcohol dependence.
